FAR FROM HOME
For many, in the Wakatipu Christmas won’t look or seem at all like Christmas this year with so many people unable to be reunited with family from the other side of the world due to Covid restrictions.
For others, job losses and dramatically reduced hours have been taking their toll financially and emotionally.
So as the rest of the community rushes to meet those work deadlines and gets excited about ordering the ham and enjoying a family Christmas, local help agencies are urging everybody to spare a thought for those who aren’t.

This is a great day mission to get you out into nature to explore, have a little adventure and learn something while you’re at it. I classed this as hard because there are a lot of unavoidable river crossings, apparently 23 in total. You’ll get wet feet but if you’re prepared and ready for that you’ll have an amazing time.
All parents have a number.
Number of grey hairs.
Number of times you’ve sworn under your breath, before saying, “Yes Dear.”
Number of opportunities to hide from the kids for five minutes.
But this number is different.
It’s a number your kids know as well. This number is the amount of times you’ll let kids get away with something before you snap. It’s the number of times you say, “Stop jumping on the couch,” before they actually stop. It’ll be one number less than you spitting the dummy, yelling, or threatening to take the iPad away.
