Christmas is a season that evokes mixed emotions for many whānau in Aotearoa. For some, it s a season where families eat together and wait with anticipation to open gifts under a Christmas tree. It can also be another reminder of the passing of a loved one, the pressure of unemployment, the uncertainties of business, loneliness, and a closed border keeping family and friends in far-away lands.

Wild swimmers are being urged to be cautious this Christmas with many cold-water dips cancelled.
The Coastguard issued its warning at the end of a year in which swimming pools have been closed for many months and more people have taken to open-water swimming.
It says there has been a significant increase in people enjoying open-water swimming and cold-water dipping â a trend that has seen call-outs to HM Coastguard rise by 52 per cent for swimming-related incidents â up from 183 between August and November 2019 to 385 for the same period in 2020.
