We set off to get our bearings in Rotorua and stock up on supplies.  We met a jolly man in red and attempted, twice, to get a photo of him with Jennifer and James but alas to no avail.

We decorated our apartment ready for Christmas. We made paper Christmas lanterns and decorated them with Christmas stickers. We set up a Christmas display and hung up our stockings on the window underneath the Christmas lights.

Jennifer wrote her very first letter to Santa. She wrote, “Dear Santa, May I please have an Ariel doll for Christmas. Love, Jennifer”.  We got it ready to give to Santa in the Central Mall.
