Creative Merry Christmas
Hi Neighbours! I hope the silly season isn't being too silly for you! Some have time some need time, either way DIY Christmas stuff can keep the kids busy, entertained (out of your hair) and help the fun and magic of Christmas.
Google searches will give you an array of ideas, projects, decorations and games. I found a couple of stuff.co.nz articles with some cool ideas I thought I would share.
- What to do with all those cards! See some ways to creatively display them here.
- Want to create your own paper baubles? Here are some great DIY ideas for that!
- There are 5 cute DIY ideas here.
- And who can forget Christmas Dough decorations - I remember them from school.
- Along with a wreath here are some more cool ideas.
- Even some festive colouring can be great to keep them entertained, decorate and give you some time, google images and many websites have great printable options here is a google search.
As adults often we are caught up in the stress and timelines of Christmas - remember the magic and help the next generation enjoy it, but hey don't forget to enjoy it yourself - that is what it's all about. :) I wish you all a very safe, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you in 2019!
(I'd love to hear/see you ideas/feedback in the comments!)

Wheelchair Van
We have a Kia Carnival van with wheelchair side-ramp and full equipment for an electric wheelchair passenger to sit safely up front beside the driver. The car also has a 3-person backseat. Happily, we no longer need it and would like to pass it on to someone who could make use of it. The car is 2006, automatic with V6 engine and has only done 60880 kms. It has been regularly serviced and looked after, but it's suffered wear and tear a bit over the years. However, it was a godsend to us and gave us such freedom. If you are interested, please message me.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
