Nelson's bi-cultural Christmas parade has caused a stir and some confusion among Santa's young fans. The traditional white-bearded, jolly man was replaced in the parade by a Māori man representing Santa Claus. Read the full story here.

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!

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!

Purchased for our daughter from The Warehouse (RRP$139), late last year for a Duke of Ed summer rafting expedition. I don't know much about them, it was a "suggested" item for the trip for added warmth. I love the colours, dark fuchsia, white and grey.

Information (see photos). Item is listed on trademe too. www.trademe.co.nz...

Price: $100

The Ashhurst and Pohangina Lions Club is celebrating the 40th year of their annual Smallholders Auction.
Our next auction will be held on 26 January 2019 at the usual site of: Macdonald farm 682 Pohangina Road Ashhurst


This is a great opportunity for everyone to take part in this community event and, at the same time, clear out those unwanted items.

Weird, wonderfully odd, useful and used items will be going under the hammer. Drop off of chattels is from 2.00 till 7.00pm on Friday, and livestock from 6.30am till 9.30am on Saturday. Auction starts 10am Saturday.

There will be 1000's of items for the home, farm and garden going under the hammer, plus ducks, chooks, sheep and small animals

Food and drink stalls, arts and crafts, rides and a bouncy castle for the children make this a great family day out.

All proceeds raised will benefit future community projects and everyone attending can support their local community, either by buying or selling.

Diabetes New Zealand will be the recipients of the gold coin donation for entry this year

We would like to give a huge thanks to all our sponsors for their support in making this auction possible.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the day!

For more information regarding our auction or to become a stall holder please contact our coordinator Ron Farrugia at smallholders@yahoo.co.nz or 063269639 or 0273262380
