Hi there
It will be Christmas Eve tomorrow and that brings back memories for me. When I worked at the Education Department Head Office way back in the early1960s, we were allowed to leave work at 3 pm on Christmas Eve. Later that time was amended to 1 pm, with the requirement that after lunch we had to return to the office and sign out. After the first year of the 1pm rule, I'm afraid most people shot off at noon... Hehehe.
I can still remember, as clear as day, my skipping down the southern side steps of Government Buildings, Lambton Quay, 1 pm on a Christmas Eve, dressed up in my best fashion finery to promenade through town on Christmas Eve.
NZ is about the first country in the world to see Christmas morning. I will be almost ready for bed on Christmas night when people in the Northern Hemisphere will be just waking up for their big day.
I truly feel for people flying from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere on December 24th because they will miss out completely on Christmas Day, arriving on December 26th. It's the opposite when I fly North; I gain a day.
HAVE A WONDERFULLY HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!
