Get right into the spirit of Christmas with this new book which has just been unpacked at Rodney Libraries central.A New Zealand Christmas (Sarah Ell) covers a history of Christmas in New Zealand where it is more likely to be sand than snow that revellers have to contend with. Although some traditions have been kept from the northern hemisphere, other's (such as the Kiwi Christmas tree the pohutukawa) are all our own. Author Sarah Ell has not only drawn from personal experience, but also from the archives of the Alexander Turnbull Library to put together this wonderful book.
There are a whole lot of other Christmas books on display at all our local Rodney Libraries. If you see them sitting on display tables or under trees, they are there for you to take out and use. There is still time to get creative for the big day with your crafts, work on that fabulous christmas menu to impress or grab a couple of picture books to while away the hours with the grandchildren.
