Nelson's Santa

Inga from Brooklyn

I really do not understand the problem. Santa can be any colour he/she likes - never heard of Christmas magic? Just like children come in all colours so does Santa. If we kept up all our 'traditions' women still wouldn't have the vote, couldn't work when they married etc - I … View moreI really do not understand the problem. Santa can be any colour he/she likes - never heard of Christmas magic? Just like children come in all colours so does Santa. If we kept up all our 'traditions' women still wouldn't have the vote, couldn't work when they married etc - I could go on about the traditional past inequalities in societies. We all know that many inequalities and prejudices still exist in our society, so I hope it is time to let Santa be who he/she wants to be and give children of all colours a feeling of belonging and self-worth.

Hi folks! Myself and my 3 year old are new in the Owhiro Bay neighbourhood. We've got a great place on Happy Valley Road - we just need someone to move in with us!
Our lifestyle is quiet nights and early mornings, so seeking a kid friendly person who is fine with that. There are actually 2 rooms available - the smaller fits a single bed. Both have cupboards. Rent is $170 for 1 room or $245 for both, plus approx $30 a week for expenses.
Happy with couples, cats (love cats), students, workers, in-betweeners. Not worried about your age, just looking for someone who looks after the place and is reliable, friendly and mature. Ideally move in ASAP.
There's a bus service that's now extended to weekends and parking is on street. You will need to be able-bodied as there are steps up to the house.
We love this area and are really looking forward to having a kind lovely person move in with us :)
You can email sakkeil@gmail.com any time.
