Is Christchurch lacking Christmas cheer? Are the city’s street decorations perhaps a bit lame?
Watch the video from Stuff reporter Charlie Gates and visual journalist Alden Williams below, and tell us in the comments if you've found some Christmas cheer in Christchurch this year.

Just wondering if anyone happens to have a stash of the brown paper bags you get from the supermarket, or similar sized paper bags lying around that you don’t use 😊.

We have 2 x large cabbage trees and one way to get rid of the leaves is to burn them in our fire. Only issue is that I am petrified of spiders and if we just tie them up in bundles and leave them until next winter (or the next time we need a fire), they are a perfect breeding ground for spiders 😬! I have looked on trademe etc but they are very expensive, turns out to be cheaper to purchase them from the supermarket! Thank you very much, I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas 😊

Who do you think is responsible for putting it there!?
Hey Christchurch drivers,
One 270-metre stretch of bus lane in the Garden City cost drivers more than half a million dollars in fines in just 12 months.

One 270-metre stretch of bus lane in the Garden City cost drivers more than half a million dollars in fines in just 12 months.
Nearly 6000 fines worth a total of $740,250 have been dished out for driving or parking in the city's bus lanes since the end of November last year, with just one bus lane responsible for well over half of that.
The stretch between Mona Vale and Deans Ave on Riccarton Rd, which opened in late 2018, has proven a major money-maker for the Christchurch City Council, netting the authority more than $560,000 in just 12 months. A total of 3828 fines were issued to drivers caught in the lane – an average of 319 a month.
Have you copped a bus lane fine before? What for, and where?
Can you do this any where on Christchurch rivers ?
Can anyone recommend the best places for beginners to start?
Some of the red zone I have notice has deep water.
Is the water safe or is it polluted?

Have you seen any pets or children locked in cars yourself?
