open on Christmas day



This year we finally see a significant number of restaurants in Auckland willing to open on Christmas Day.

Yes, it is a public holiday. Yes, it is a day one should spend with one's family, and yes, traditionally mum or whoever happens to be the "motherly" figure in the house will do the cooking.

One blames commercialism. But the reality is, there are more couples parting ways then getting hitched these days.

Some, with family, would appreciate a decent meal away from home. Travellers are classic examples.

Where would I wanna be if I'm visiting Auckland? probably the Langham.

Christmas always involves a bit of a team effort in our household. My sister, as usual, decorated the Christmas tree nice and early.
