It’s Christmas morning here in Karamea.

I went to the beach twice yesterday. Christmas Eve with beers and the sunset, followed by a bon fire out back.

Today the forecast calls for clear skies and a temperature of 20c(68f).

We’re having a big potluck at the backpackers, and I’m going to make a green bean casserole thing.

It doesn’t feel like Christmas. It’s like all those times I would listen to the Charlie Brown’s Christmas soundtrack in June.
