Share your festive fail moments with us

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.

Thunderstorms have triggered over Northland this afternoon. Some of these thunderstorms could be SEVERE this afternoon about eastern parts of Northland near Whangarei producing localised downpours of 25 to 40mm per hour.

Rainfall of this intensity can cause surface and/or flash flooding, slips and hazardous driving conditions.

Further thunderstorms with heavy rain are forecast in Northland this evening and overnight, but these are expected to be more mobile and therefore less likely to become SEVERE.

Note: A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favourable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. People in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and monitor for possible Severe Thunderstorm Warnings.

If anyone has some old rustic corrugated iron sheets ( preferably 1.5m -1.8 m x 900 ) lying around and you would like to get rid of, please get in touch. I'm also looking for some hardwood railway sleepers aswell.
