At Nelson Airport earlier this week it was nice to see they had a good sized Christmas tree up in their waiting area filled with decorations.
Here in our small town the Summer crowds have arrived - there are loads of holiday houses starting to be used and lots of people visiting. 2 of my children work at one of the local shops, they have told me they get all sorts of strange questions and assumptions by out of towners who assume we have supermarkets and malls here like the bigger places. It's that time of year where you just try not to drive anywhere unless it's to work, because of the increase in traffic is best to walk.

When we lived at Papamoa I used to almost dread that summer influx of visitors!
Sounds like Devon & cornwall over here in the summer. We have a couple of Chritmas trees indoors and one outside I decorated nothing like the one you showed from the airport
Lovely tree, and presents underneath, exciting!!
Know all about those city slickers. Hope most of them go home after new year!!
Ahh, in Auckland you try not to drive anywhere at any time (perhaps in the wee hours of the morning?!).
I like these.
Lots of presents around the tree is always a good sign.
Our tree is kind of like yours. It gets the job done and we are happy with it.
Growing up we lived in tourist towns and got used the questions that they ask. Now I am often a tourist!!
Your tree is great looking. I didn't put one up so no tree here. I also live in a place where winter visitors abound and you can certainly see it in the traffic.
I like your tree, it's pretty. We stopped having a tree when our daughter moved away but we have ornaments that my wife made that we hang around our house.
