This is the yet unfinished story of a German - Spanish couple with five children who left their home in Germany to widen their horizon at the other end of the world - New Zealand. They moved from Mainhardt (Lkr Schwäbisch Hall, Baden-Württemberg) to spend 2+ years in Thames (Coromandel, Waikato, North Island) in September 2010.

Weihnachten in Thames
Here you see our Christmas tree, wattled (geflochten) by Elena with the help of some of our kids. It was inspirated by a similar one she happened to see in one of the shop windows of Thames. The kind of Christmas decoration here is mostly based on colourful lights mainly in the windows or the garden of the houses. Some people buy and decorate a plastic pine. Santa Claus is very popular here and his distinctive feature is his red cap with his sheepskin border and the bobble (Bommel).
The remainder pictures and Videos show Luis, Daniel (and Felix, not visible) at a Nativity Play in our church. Actually, we already had out Christmas service yesterday on 19th December. For German readers: This feels not so strange as you may think, as Kiwis don't know an Advent time like we celebrate in Germany.
