CHRISTMAS TREES !



There are a lot of trees in New Zealand and when Christmas comes around there is a competition for the biggest Xmas Tree.
In Hamilton the night sky is sparkling as its giant Christmas tree is switched on nightly.The tree took over 10 days to be assembled.It's believed to be the largest artificial tree in the country, standing at 25 metres and boasting 130,000 lights and 4000 baubles.

Here is one we found - seems pretty big to me, growing by the sides of the lake and decorated with giant baubles.



The 'upside-down Christmas tree' was invented here, as you can see. There is a tree farm in Onehunga that sells these particular trees. You have to ask yourself why - because we're upside-down of course!!
