Choose the great outdoors
James K Baxter’s message is to forget the traditional ways of remembering Christmas and get out into the hills.
Experience nature in all its wonder: mountains, flowing water, fish and birds.
A Christmas Wish
Not mistletoe and holly
To ward off melancholy
Carols in the chapel
Plum pudding and crabapple.
But to camp for a week
By a mountain creek
With fresh taken trout
And tinned pears to eat
With tea boiled in a billy
And the morepork in the gully.
