Normandale Lower Hutt Santa n Fairies
Forty 40 years ago, my mate Rosemary started and is still running the Santa with fairies sleigh in Normandale Lower Hutt.
My own children and later grandkids all were on the sleigh over the years.
Roadside letterbox standers receive wrapped lollies and arranged gifts are delivered by Santa.
IF ONLY THE WORLD had more 'Rosemarys' to make a better place....
Merry Normandale Christmas.

Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
