We are on the hunt for New Zealand's most original, even legendary, Santas - can you help?? This will be someone that embodies the big guy with the white beard year round and who people in your neighbourhood often refer to as Santa.

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!

Beware sand dunes

Dawn from Mount Maunganui

Please be aware of the beach sand dunes at this time of year. Yesterday I was walking up beach access with my dog on her extendable lead when a pheasant ran in front of us. Before I could stop my dog she chased it into the dunes only as far as the lead allowed her.

Please be aware of the beach sand dunes at this time of year. Yesterday I was walking up beach access with my dog on her extendable lead when a pheasant ran in front of us. Before I could stop my dog she chased it into the dunes only as far as the lead allowed her.
This is what her harness look like and I spent the next hour removing these spikes from her paws and underbelly. They can cause ongoing issues and large vet bills.
