Christmas music at 23°C

I never thought it would feel weird to walk down the street and hear Christmas music. But then again, I didn't think I would be hearing it during the summer. 

A friend of ours told us that since we were here for Christmas, we had to check out the lights on Franklin road. She said there is a city regulation that everyone living on the street needs to have lights on their homes. The city even pays for the electricity. (I thought that was really interesting.)
I was really excited! It hadn't felt like Christmas since we came, so I thought the lights would be wonderful : ) 




(Kasia and I on our way to the lights)

On our way there, Kasia told me to expect nothing, and I would be happily surprised : ) 
I wanted to share some of them with you. This is the equivalent of Christmas lights in Auckland. 



Lol : ) 



Loved the penguins











 This was one of our favorites. Merry Christmas from your local dentistry! Even Santa has braces.



This is me, happily surprised : ) : ): ) 
Merry Christmas from New Zealand!

  1. It's funny that they put snowmen in the decorations when the obviously don't have snow :) On the other hand, I really love the ones with the kind of drapes of lights - so pretty!!!

    1. Right? Super funny.
      At a relief society activity, we went to a nursing home to sing Christmas carols and we sang songs like, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas and Jingle Bells.
      I was like, wait. You know these songs? : ) (Most of them have never seen a white Christmas before... sad)
      Kasia and I both agree that the draped light are our favorite, they are so beautiful! : )
