I have not been sending out a Christmas letter these last
couple of years. Mainly because everyone
I know is either on Facebook, or has a relative on Facebook who will pass news
on. I recently got a Christmas letter
from a friend who is NOT on Facebook and from whom we had not heard for a
while, it was lovely to hear her news and catch up, so I am going to attempt to
organise myself into doing a Christmas or New Year letter from 2012 onwards.
For now, here’s a short Christmas letter for all you
wonderful people out there:
Dear Family, Friends and people I met once and added on
Facebook but who’s status update gets lost amidst all the Farmville requests,
This year has been an exciting one for us, since our
chickens learned to mow the lawn, and Tareka can now spend a lot more time
working on perpetual motion machines.
The children are growing fast, Mapera has been reading James Joyce and
understanding it, Kaitereo has been training to be a human cannonball and
Hakopa has been learning how to fly by throwing himself at the ground and
missing.
The house and land continue to thrive, we are growing an
entirely new hybrid of tomato, cheese & breadfruit plant, so we can pick
fresh sandwiches all through the spring.
The cows continue to be an endless source of entertainment, and one of
them does a passably good impression of Eddie Izzard which kept me and some
friends amused for hours one evening.
My parents, as most of you know, are heading to the Moon for
their holidays, Mum will love the cold, and Dad is looking forward to some
diving in the Sea of Tranquility. My
brother continues to mystify us by appearing in various shampoo commercials.
Tareka’s family is all good too, digging their way to London in time for the
Olympics as we speak. Looks like it will
be quiet down here next year, hope you all have a wonderful Giftmas and begin
the New Year with a series of unrealistic resolutions.
All our love and best wishes
Louise and the clan
