An awesome show by the Company Kids of Impact Dance & Stage School with the addition of some littlies singing and dancing. It is all Christmas. (You'll also see them at Coca-Cola Christmas in the Park)
People say there aren't enough Christmas shows around where it is completely about Christmas - well this is that show.
The tickets are $25 and if you get from me (I have 14 left) there is no booking fee - we did this as a fundraiser. The seats are in the beautiful Dress Circle so you have a fantastic view of the entire stage.
It's a beautiful show with a wee surprise performance in it that will have you smiling and really thinking Christmas.

We are puppy proofing our property as she can fit through heaps of gaps through our fence. It’s a bit of a job. My husband built a little run so when we are out she can be in there (not tied up) but she can jump it! Gosh they grow fast. She escaped to the beach this morning and I had to run with my 7 month baby in one arm chasing her. Just managed to get her. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can contain her while we sort the yard. She has kennel but we don’t want to lock her in as she will need the toilet and a little running space

Free car parking, rates holidays for owners of new properties and financial incentives for developers should all be considered to ensure central Christchurch flourishes rather than flounders, councillor James Gough believes.

Gough has been tasked by mayor Lianne Dalziel to ensure plans designed to revitalise the heart of Christchurch do not fall flat. He believes ignoring the central city's regeneration and revitalisation means you "might as well write off the next three years".

What do you think needs to be done to regenerate the city centre? Tell us in the comments below.
