Hi,

It’s hard to believe that another year is over isn’t it? I guess you’ve been busy, like I’ve been, with the end of the school year, and now holidays!! School holidays always make me think of fun – summer and swimming and the beach. The days I spent not so long ago filming the video clip for The Best Days – were great fun, getting to sing and dance with my friends, sandboard, and jet ski with my brother too, just like we do on family holidays.

This is a good time to stop and think about how lucky we are here in Australia to be able to enjoy Christmas and the New Year and spend time with our family and friends. I’m having just a quiet Christmas with my family, but I’m excited at the thought of presents – I love surprises, so I haven’t wished for anything this year, I’ll have to wait and see! I don’t peek, or try to guess that just spoils the fun.

I’ve got so many Christmas cards this year – thank you to everyone who sent one. My Christmas wish is the same as many people are hoping for this year – peace on Earth, a little joy in the world, and family and friends around me. I hope that whatever you’ve wished for comes true too.

This is only a short email, cuz I’m off to The Wizard of Oz again soon, and then I’ll get ready for one of those special things about Christmas – singing some Christmas carols!

I usually answer some questions, but this month almost everyone seems to have asked the same thing!:

Are you going away for the holidays?
This year I’ll have Christmas with my family, and then spend my time working hard in Wizard Of Oz to make sure lots of people get to see a little of the magic of a big stage production. On my days off, I hope to get in a little swimming, and just relax a bit.

Have a great Christmas and New Year, and a safe and happy holiday,

Follow your Heart
Always
Nikki.
