Burglars try to steal Christmas from Santa's grotto at QEII
Hi neighbours,
'Twas 18 nights before Christmas, when all through Santa’s grotto not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
Apart from burglars, that is, who broke into Santa’s outpost in Christchurch and apparently tried to steal Christmas right from under the noses of his little helpers, who were sleeping safely at home.
When they arrived at the grotto on Tuesday morning they found the lights on and the back door tampered with.
Fortunately, the burglars were not able to access the grotto's main room, full of its floats and decorations.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — 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!
