Hi everyone,
With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why? What makes it such a great place to be at this time of year? What are you most looking forward to about the trip? Any words of advice you may have on things to do or places to eat or drink in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.

Covid-19 may have been a difficult year for many, but it has been the key to success for one new Canterbury venture.

Cameron Knapp there had been an explosion in demand for sports cards since lockdown, which gave people time to dig out their old collections and get their children involved.

He opened Cards Plus, a dedicated sports card shop in Kaiapoi, last month with customers lined up waiting for the doors to open.
