Christmas 2000 - Audio Interview

Well christmas down in newzeland sort of means a pretty hot summer to come. So to me thats what it means, just a pretty hot summer days and lazy days on the beach just hanging out with my family and friends really.

Recently its been pretty low key. I've got my brother and my sister and my parents, me hang out at our beachhouse and we open presents and we just have a really nice lunch and lie in the sun and go for a swim generally just have a very lazy day.

Christmas mince pies have gotta be pretty top of the list. Pretty delicious, yeah.

Not really. I'm just going with the flow. I can't really be bothered making huge plans. I just sorta see what happens on the night 'n go with it, yeah.

Goals for next year, I just wanna do well at school, i just wanna grab every opportunity that comes my way. Its my last year at school 'n I just wanna go and enjoy it and try and make the most of all the people that are gonna be there that maybe are gonna be my future. Yeah and stay in contact with people that arn't always around me and have a really good time.

I remember when I was 9 years old and I was given this huge doll house that I had wanted since I could remember and I opened it up and nearly passed out. I was so exited I couldn't move for about 5 minutes and spent the rest of the day building this playhouse and none could take me away from it. It was the best present ever. I was so exited.

Um probably I can't remember. I really like giving presents. Its really fun and most of the time when I try to give good presents but I'm so unorganized and I never get anything in time so its always just a mad rush to get anything for anyone in the end. But I usually just try to make an effort to give someone something nice but its a bit hard sometimes.

Not really I don't because where I am before christmas we don't actually have a T.V so I don't actually see the christmas movies when they get shown so no I can't really think on one.

Um I like Away in a Manger. Sort of says it really its quite nice. And there was a really nice song I heard called a New Zeeland christmas where which instead of talking about snow and bells of holly which we don't have over here, talked about the houdicower trees, one of our native trees and how we all have a summer christmas and I thought it was really Apt.

Thank you !
