'Meri Kirihimete,Merry Xmas to all...

[Karen]

I am completely jealous of the Pet Talkers in the Southwest, Colorado and Oklahoma who are about to get a blizzard! I love snow - at Christmas and beyond!

I have never experienced it for xmas,but would love to,be awesome, i often think we should just have a mid winter xmas down in the snow, only like 3hrs drive from my city,one of these days.Tis on my bucket list Karen.

MERRY CHRISTMAS CAROLE!!! I hope you have a great holiday.

Meri Kirihimete- our Kiri thinks that means it would be her own celebration in NZ (she anyway has a NZ godmother) and would like to come and join you....
Have a wonderful time

Aww that is sweet barbara, how did she come by her name,? Meri Kirihimete is the maori way of saying merry xmas, i am european, but i like to embrace the culture even in a little way ,as it is all part and parcel of being a New Zealander.

Kiri is named after Kiri Te Kanawa as she is a soprano
I had the opportunity this morning to check it out again as she was on the balcony between 5.15 (when her dad wanted to check whether there was lots of snow) and 5.45 (when she waked me meeowing soprano style). I must admit that this morning she sounded rather dramatic and not so lyrical

I wondered about that , you do know Kiri is a maori New Zealander, who lives in Britain, one of our most famous singers.
