Merry Christmas!

 Hi there

We are just about the first country in the world (I don't know about The South Pole) to ring in Christmas.  Our time zone is earlier than every other country.   I love ringing up my friends in England and showing off that I've already seen the televised King's Speech ahead of them, and I tell them all about it

We're 12 hours ahead of Engand.  So when I go to bed this evening at 10 pm on Christmas night, it will be 10 a.m for people in England who will be waking up on  Christmas morning.  (The time could be one hour out allowing for any daylight saving change in either country).  The time stamp on this blog is USA time because it's a USA programme (or should I go all American and say 'program?)

I went to The Old Bailey pub for Christmas lunch today.  It was a buffet and was set out all lovely and Christmassy.

As I type this in New Zealand, the time is 4.20 pm on Christmas Day.

PS.  The time stamp on this entry may change because I have gone back in a day later to correct something.
