@wolfe63 saidInteresting......I wonder if that is what our Christmas movies in July on a few week-ends are all about?
How many of our dear friends from Australia; New Zealand, South Africa and/or South America have recently celebrated "Leon Day" ("Noel" spelled backwards) on June 25th?
If so, Season's Greetings!
Probably not! 😉

Mid-winter is celebrated close to 21st June
unfortunately the carnival was cancellled this year due to COVID-19.
Maori and the wider community celebrate Matariki but different iwi celebrate at
slightly different times. The schools observe Matariki the week before end of term.
(ie first week of July)
