Merry Christmas, and to ALL a Happy New Year!!!!!!!! πŸ˜ƒ I just made these decorations, including a Christmas wreath. πŸ˜ƒ

Sharon from Te Atatu South

Found a beautiful pigeon feather in the back garden, made myself this lovely dreamcatcher. πŸ˜ƒ ❀ IN that order. πŸ˜ƒ ❀ THEN found another big silver bead, some silver ribbon and other colours among Robyn's ribbons and craft stuff she gave me, AND made myself this Christmas wreath to put on my door!!!!!!!! πŸ˜ƒ I WASN'T gonna buy one from The Warehouse, AND NOW I finally have one befitting of my door!!!!!!!! πŸ˜ƒ NEVER EVER buy a Christmas wreath when you can make one yourself!!!!!!!! πŸ˜ƒ

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to β€œexuberance”? πŸ₯

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re β€œallergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days β€” the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
