Hi neighbours,

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.

But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.

Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.

Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.

Hi neighbours,

How sweet is Joan Hodgins? The Kāpiti woman recently celebrated her 90th birthday by treating 34 children to a day of adventure - which included Scenic flights, a trip to Wellington Zoo and a ride on a double-decker "party bus". It was a day that rewarded children who had overcome tough times, Hodgins said.

"I thought that instead of having a lavish birthday party I could do something for children with difficulties. After all, if you're fortunate, isn't it nice to give to someone else?" To read more about Joan's story, click here.

Bird breeding season means it's also trapping pests season!

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Right now it’s bird breeding season, which means extra vigilance when trapping!

The number of rats, stoats, and other bird predators you’re trapping may well go down as there are plenty of baby birds for them to dine out on instead of trap bait ☹️ So it’s really important to increase the effectiveness of these traps by clearing them much more often! This is the best thing you can do for the birds in your area between October and December.

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

We love poppies, and this Tibetan blue (Meconopsis betonicifolia) is especially eye-catching. They are available from a number of nurseries, including Blue Mountain in Tapanui.
