Sometimes we get caught up in the Christmas rush, and don’t take time to think about people who may be experiencing a much quieter holiday season. Contact with older people can help families to connect with what Christmas is really about, and it’s a great time to explore memories and think about traditions.
Age Concern New Zealand will posting 5 tips leading up to Christmas on how you can connect with your older neighbours this Holiday Season.
1. Invite your older neighbour to share a meal or a cup of tea
Christmas can be a tough time for older people, especially those who live alone. Invite your older neighbour over for a meal this holiday season. This will give you a chance to build a relationship with them.

The Gisborne "Neighbourly" Community Event is the "baby" which belongs to Lois!
She was able to provide a location FREE of cost for ALL community members, not just for those members here on "Neighbourly", all people within the community... to be able to advertise their works, sell their items, at NO COST to them to do so - any profit made is theirs to keep - Lois & myself have had advertising running for over a month via FaceBook, Flyers placed within shops, Schools, Kindys, Word of mouth etc... City Council registrations and permissions was dealt with by Lois....
All of this was done for... you...
Today was quiet, but I enjoyed it... I loved the family atmosphere amongst the stall holders lol little ones loved it, loaded with lollies, train ride too and even winners in races wwoohhoo lol... They love those medals, I love those medals!
These types of "benefits" of the happiness, the coming together and supporting each other.... is what a community is about.
Myself & Lois have also noticed a huge increase on the "Neighbourly" website of over 500 new members since the advertising of this Event first started.
This is a huge benefit for the website, and I personally think a very beneficial one for the "Neighbourly" Team / Staff also.
I would like to say thank you to Des of Casey Jones Express for the Train Rides and putting some huge smiles on the little ones faces, and big smiles on their families.
I would also like to thank Jennie Lodge of Krazy Knits and her Mum Trish, for bringing your beautiful lovely knitted items, your crazy sense of humor that both of you have, especially when Jennie was in pain due to your back!!
I would like to thank everyone else also whom attended - the food smelt delish and also the afghans that were passed out to all those at the end... where yyuummmii delish...
Thank you very much, your presence and time is greatly appreciated!
Again, thank you Lois....
Thank you for your thoughtfulness & love you have shown, that you spent so much time and effort into making this day for other people.
Thank you for giving your time and spending your time away from your beautiful family, in order to help others... to come together as one...
I for one, appreciate it! You are a very loving person... and what you want for others is a rare thing!
Have a huge rest up for a while now... Cuppa tea and biscuits are in order! xox

Leading up to that weekend we'll be letting you know about some of the awesome events and activities happening near you, sharing stories, giving you a little inspiration around how to get your neighbourhood revving to go for Neighbours Day, and for those of us who are a little shy, some helpful tips on how to get started.
Earlier this year we put it to the Neighbours Day community to vote on the best way to launch Neighbours Day 2017. The winning idea was is 'Make it a New Years Resolution', and so that is what we're rolling with. Make getting involved in Neighbours Day your New Year's Resolution.
If you or anyone else signs up for Neighbours Day 2017 between today and the 31st of January you go in a draw to win a $100 grocery voucher. We'll be making 3 draws, one in December, one in January and one in February.
We know there are some of you who are real champions of Neighbours Day Aotearoa, so for those that get the most people joining up we have a little incentive for you too. We've added a section in the join up page where people can mention how they heard about Neighbours Day. This is where all those awesome people you get to join up can pop your name. If you, or your organisation, come out on tops and have the most new members joining up then you will win a $100 grocery voucher as well!!! Whaaattt!! Now that will come in handy either for your awesome Neighbours Day event, or your friendly neighbourly bbq, or will pay for the TimTam's you bring when you have a cup of tea with your neighbours.
So make sure you share the love and spread the word.

It's going to be a beautiful morning pretty much everywhere in the country - so let's get as many kids and their families as possible out of their cars and walking/riding/scooting for this morning's school run.

Tell us about it: what are you going to do; how does it work for you? How does it differ from your memories of footing it to school as a kid?
An important plank of our Foot It campaign this year has been to encourage councils to lower speed limits outside schools. Families and schools have been enthusiastic about our initiatives to make it easier for kids to get out of the car. And when we wrote to all New Zealand's mayors in February, they offered resounding support: many wrote back promising to do their best to lower speeds, but cautioning that their hands were tied by NZ Transport Agency rules that (extraordinarily) stood in the way of lower speed limits.
Now, the Government has stepped up too: Associate transport minister Craig Foss has announced new Speed Management Guidelines that will make it simpler for councils to lower speeds on the roads that are busiest with cyclists and pedestrians. Read more from this weekend's Sunday Star-Times: www.stuff.co.nz...
We welcome this. So last week, we wrote to the mayors again (many of whom are new to the roles after the local body elections) challenging them to commit to putting lower speed limits outside schools on their council agendas in the first half of 2017. The Sunday Star-Times and Stuff will report their responses, whether they be good or gutless.
It's not just about the Government and councils, though: it's about taking responsibility as communities and individuals. So take the initiative: bylaw or no bylaw, if enough of us voluntarily slow down as we drive past schools in our towns and neighbourhoods, that will slow other traffic and make our streets safer for our kids.
TODAY'S WEATHER: We've attached the MetService rain map for this morning. In short, it's a great day to walk, ride or scoot to school with your kids, anywhere in the country. But this afternoon, a pile of rain is going to land, splash, in the middle of the North Island and Hawke's Bay. Don't say you weren't warned ....
THE FOOT IT PLEDGE: We're all busy - but many of us can find ONE day a week when we can scoot or walk with our kids to school. So make the pledge!
Join one of our Neighbourly Foot It clubs - the Monday Club, Tuesday Club, Wednesday Club, Thursday Club or Friday Club – and you'll go into the draw to win one of 50 Micro scooters, valued at up to $179.95 each. www.neighbourly.co.nz...
THE SUNDAY STAR-TIMES SAYS:
* Families: Choose one day a week when you walk, scoot or ride with your kids to and from school.
* Schools: Set up walking buses, with parents and volunteers helping local kids get to class safely.
* Councils: Create and enforce lower speed zones outside every school.
