This is my last podcast for the year, so I start today by describing what a New Zealand Christmas is like for us. Then, I'll tell you a bit about my trip next week, and then after comments, I have a few special remarks.
It's now summer in New Zealand, so Christmas is very different than what I grew up with in Illinois (no snow or cold). The Christmas we have isn't necessarily the same as other Kiwis, but it's not all that different from theirs, either.
I have all my arrangements sorted for my trip to Chicago next week.
After comments, I have some special remarks for this last podcast of the year.
I probably won't have another episode until Tuesday, January 15, 2008. I'm hoping to be able to record some audio while I'm away, and maybe I'll be able to post it before I get home to New Zealand, but don't count on that.
Results for the poll question, “What's your favourite Christmas/Holiday special?”: A Charlie Brown Christmas was chosen by 5 people, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer by 2, Santa Claus is Coming to Town by 2 and None of these by 3.
Thanks for listening this year—I truly appreciate it! I'll be back with more in the New Year.

Besides the weather and a few other small details, Christmas down there isn't all that different from Christmas here. I would say it's probably like the difference between Christmas in the north and in the south here.
Either way....Merry Christmas, Happy Boxing Day, and of course Happy New Years! Have a safe trip to the US!
Hi Arthur,
I know you are in the USA now but wanted to comment. This show to me was extremly intersting. I have enjoyed all your shows, but this one I enjoyed the most so far. I wanted to cry at the end when you were saying goodbye. Hope all is well and see you in 2008.
Thanks, guys. I'm back home now, and so much time has passed that responding seems a little silly now. But I do appreciate your taking the time to comment!
