👀It's vanished ... where has it gone?👀
Where has that wonderful thread called "Be a tidy Christmas kiwi" gone?
It was posted by The Team (at Neighbourly) and I'm thinking that they may've meant to close comments but have instead deleted the whole thread.
What an absolute shame as there was some great reading in there and so many great ideas and hints for this time of year and current situation/s.
So many people contributed to it and it would be nice to read the rest of the comments from who posted after we had gone to bed.
If the powers that be at Neighbourly Notices (as I couldn't find the tag for The Team at Neighbourly) could reinstate it please, that would be absolutely grand.
Thank you in advance😉

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!
The gift of giving …?
The author of “The Gift of the Magi” is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.
“The Gift of the Magi” is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, while Jim sells his grandfather’s watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts … after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
