December is a months of songs, carols and hymns in New Zealand. Christmas in New Zealand is about sunny days on beaches, cooking on a BBQ with lamb, new potatoes, fresh garden picked vegetables, salads with brief matches of cricket, or even a game of rugby in between courses. Usually copious quantity of refreshments are at hand. The song posted above on You Tube"It's Christmas Time in NZ gives a flavor of the month of December, our songs and Christmas outdoors. I have celebrated many NZ Christmases on mountain tops, kayaking down rivers or bush walking On Christmas Day 1971 I climbed Aoraki Mount Cook for the 2nd time on that special day. I first climbed it on Christmas Day 1968 with Jim Cowie, Keith McIvor and Rod McLeod., and what a wonderful feeling being on top of New Zealand on a day of celebration. Below is Chris Timms, NZ sailing Olympic gold medalist on the East Ridge of Mt. Cook on 25 December 1971. We still had cans of beer in our pack having celebrated Christmas eve in Plateau Hut a few hours earlier.
While I enjoy the array and variety of Christmas type songs that are available on line, I was thrilled to see for the first time in nearly 30 years, Thin Lizzy will release new music. Guitarist Scott Gorham says the group is working on new songs with an eye on a new album, the first without founder and original vocalist Phil Lynott, who died in 1986.Fans at the band’s Dec. 13 show in Dublin will be the first to hear the new material, Gorham tells HotPress.com. Guitarist Damon Johnson added that the band is hopeful the new album will be ready to release early in 2013

Another favourite of mine is Te Harinui is a Maori song about Christmas recalling the time when the Rev Samuel Marsden first preached the Gospel at the Bay of Islands on Christmas Day 1814
1. Not on a snowy night
By star or candlelight
Nor by an angel band
There came to our dear land
Te Harinui Te Harinui
Te Hari-nu-i Glad tid-ings of great joy
2. But on a summer day
Within a quiet bay
The Maori people heard
The great and glorious word
3. The people gathered round
Upon the grassy ground
And heard the preacher say
I bring to you this day
4. Now in this blessed land
United heart and hand
We praise the glorious birth
And sing to all the earth
