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!

Thank you to Annie, Sally , Michelle and the amazingly wonderful team at Highland Park Library for hosting another Edible Christmas Tree event.
Making your edible Christmas tree creates great memories and is delicious!
1-Make a cone shaped mould lined with baking paper.
In a large bowl ( microwave proof -if using glass be sure to use a teatowel to remove the bowl from the microwave)
2-Melt about 140g of chocolate for about 90 seconds depending on your microwave. Or use the steam bath method on the stovetop . ( we use Homebrand chocolate $2.50 from Countdown in the baking isle)
3- Once the chocolate is melted add rice bubbles, broken buscuits and a few jelly lollies, anything you would enjoy in your Christmas tree.Mix well
4- Using a tablespoon fill your mould with the mixture and use the back of the spoon to flatten the base as this will ensure your tree stands upright.
5- Place in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes.
6- Once the Christmas tree is set you can melt more chocolate ( if using white chocolate in the microwave be careful to check on it every 30 seconds )
7- Pour the white chocolate over the Christmas tree and sprinkle 100s and 1000s over the top. Use edible baking decorations. Have fun- and enjoy

Every year, summer means an influx of Kiwis to beaches, rivers and campgrounds all over Aotearoa. Kiwis love summer – it’s in our DNA – but if we’re honest, we’re not always very good at it. Stay safe with a few tips from Westpac:

- Don’t turn your back to the waves.
- Always take your lifejacket.
- Tell someone when you’ll be back.
- Don’t drive when you are tired.

And remember if you stray too far, the Choppers can help. In the last 12 months, Auckland’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter flew 962 missions keeping Kiwis safe.

Stay safe in Chopper Country.
