Hi everyone,
With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why? What makes it such a great place to be at this time of year? What are you most looking forward to about the trip? Any words of advice you may have on things to do or places to eat or drink in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.

Hi neighbours, we're keen to talk to people who live near a busy railway line - commuter or freight - about the pros and cons of the location.

What's the noise disturbance like? Do you notice it?

If you can answer any of those questions, we'd love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or email homed@stuff.co.nz with your name and details. Have a great day!
