We'd love to hear from you - especially if you have a fabulous or interesting home you'd like to share with your neighbours and our audience.

Otherwise, stay posted for great ideas coming your way. You can find us at www.homed.co.nz... and hear a little more from me in the video.

Native mistletoe anyone?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Christchurch correspondent Mary Lovell-Smith planted native mistletoe. It's not quite ready this Christmas, but it was for a good cause, and surely that's good enough for this festive season?

It's that lovely time of year when we start to think about gifting to others.

You may notice the Christmas Trees in Kaiapoi - at New World, The Library and at WestPac. As always, we are in need gifts for kids who would normally go without over the holidays.

Please remember the teenage/older brothers and sisters as they often get forgotten. And please donate new and quality gifts.

Each year we get sacks and sacks of poor condition preloved toys that we can not pass on. Please recycle these gifts at opshops and not under the tree. As a result we have to check all gifts and repackaged before going out, as we can not risk a child receiving something in disrepair.

Thank you for supporting us to ensure no child gets forgotten this Christmas.

“THE BEST WAY TO NOT FEEL HOPELESS IS TO GET UP AND DO SOMETHING...IF YOU GO OUT AND MAKE SOME GOOD THINGS HAPPEN, YOU WILL FILL THE WORLD WITH HOPE, YOU WILL FILL YOURSELF WITH HOPE.”
- Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States

For us I'd like to recognise the many Volunteer Interviewers who staff three branches and two satellites in Christchurch. Hours and hours of time are given to helping others and commitments to continued training and development. Thank you, thank you, thank you
