Merry Christmas, and to ALL a Happy New Year!!!!!!!! 😃 I just made these decorations, including a Christmas wreath. 😃
Found a beautiful pigeon feather in the back garden, made myself this lovely dreamcatcher. 😃 ❤ IN that order. 😃 ❤ THEN found another big silver bead, some silver ribbon and other colours among Robyn's ribbons and craft stuff she gave me, AND made myself this Christmas wreath to put on my door!!!!!!!! 😃 I WASN'T gonna buy one from The Warehouse, AND NOW I finally have one befitting of my door!!!!!!!! 😃 NEVER EVER buy a Christmas wreath when you can make one yourself!!!!!!!! 😃

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
