This will be someone that embodies the big guy with the white beard year round and who people in your neighbourhood often refer to as Santa.
Obviously, this person will also be the one that is called upon each year to don the red suit to go out and about posing for photos, handing out presents and just be an all-around nice charitable person.
If you know of someone, please leave us a comment with your details and how we can get in touch with your local Santa. COMMENT BELOW!
Congratulations to our Day 3 winner....Drumroll please....

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!

With so much going on this time of year it’s easy to get caught up in the festivities and forget about those having a difficult time.
From elderly neighbours with no one to celebrate with to homeless families and those with disabilities struggling to just get by, reach out to someone who could use a helping hand and remind them what the holiday spirit is all about!
Share your photos and experiences using the following hashtag so we can see what you got up to.

- 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, Wellington’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 415 missions keeping Kiwis safe.
Stay safe in Chopper Country.

Or are you just after a regular babysitter?
well I hope I can help with any of them :) I’m Abbie, I’m 18. I currently am on break until mid feb. I’m a student nurse so have basic first aid. I have my own “modern” car, a full clean drivers license so am happy for day time trips to the beach or to the playground.
I’m confident and comfortable with long days which may include feeding, bathing, bedtimes.
I don’t charge an arm and a leg but I just want to make a little extra cash. Im confident with all ages and have been looking after kids for a couple of years. I have references if required.
Please give me a call or a text if you have any questions or would like to meet.
02102519462.
Look forward to hear from you shortly,
Abbie :)

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.
A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.
A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.
