It all started when Auckland woman Hannah Rodgers and her son, Jayden, committed to 100 days of kindness in the lead-up to Christmas last year.
"On day 65, Jayden suggested we write a card for someone who might feel lonely at Christmas," Rodgers says.
Now Rodgers and her son want the campaign, Sending Love, to help 100,000 Kiwis of all ages as it returns for its second year.

Although many people were for the idea, some parents felt "blindsided" that they weren't forewarned that Hana Kōkō would be stepping in for Santa Claus. The parade's organisers have since apologised.
So we want to know your view on this topic. Are you in support of modernising Christmas, or do you prefer a traditional Santa? Take part in our poll below!

From Thursday the Christchurch City Council will trial phasing the traffic lights on Bealey Ave so traffic gets a clear run down the length of the street, to reduce noise from things like stopping and accelerating, revving and burn-outs. Council transport operations manager Steffan Thomas said police asked for the trial, which will run between 10pm and 5am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Read more

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.
And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Canterbury’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 664 missions keeping Kiwis safe.
Stay safe in Chopper Country.
