Auck-land Syne

You've got to admire the people of New Zealand, among their many achievements are The Lord Of The Rings films, giving a place a name as wonderfully silly as Bluff and keeping the haka alive.
In addition to the above they take the 2nd of January, the day after New Years Day, as a public holiday which they have chosen to officially call:

The Day After New Years Day.

You can't argue with that.


P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me eight maids a-milking, seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five gold rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
