I’ve donated. Considering this my #SecretSantaAoNZ midwinter contribution.
Chip in a couple of dollars if you can? Every bit helps.

A friend suggested honouring Sam Neill by donating to a cause close to his heart. A lovely idea givealittle.co.nz/cause/bendig...

So as Midwinter Santa isn't happening, perhaps make a donation below to help, find a friend to treat to something home made or something joyful, or be your own Santa and treat yourself to something amazing.
There is still joy to be had and spread!

There's a couple of posts over on BlueSky about #secretsantanz, but unfortunately they're locked.
So for those of us over here in the free world, just a heads up that there won't be a #secretsantaaonz this midwinter.
It's a sad situation, but there is unfortunately just not the capacity in the […]

So my elf suggestion is make a donation, find a friend to treat to something home made or something joyful, or be your own Santa and treat yourself to a MeDate or something magical.

I've seen a few people asking, there won't be a mid winter #SecretSantaAoNZ this year.
Foxy has been sick and the rest of us don't have the spoons right now.
So be kind, spread the aroha in all the ways you can and continue to bring joy through the dark months.

To my 2025 mid winter #secretsantaaonz - you did the best job! I did move to a "for now" abode, and I took my stones, and my apartment socks have come into their own. Extremely grateful. 🙏😍

Got it! I don’t want him to have it because he will destroy it beyond recognition so that his sister can’t play with it. It’s one of the #SecretSantaAoNZ presents we got

I would argue that the wholesale migration of NZ left twitter to bluesky was a net good for us. The US early account purists complaining about the loss of Alf miss how many non US communities are thriving here. It's been good for us. SecretSantaAoNZ, NZ mentioned, and nek minute vibes for the win.

So, my #secretsantaaonz last year got me this incredible diamond art bear that they painted to look like Ursula from The Little Mermaid. I'm FINALLY getting around to starting it.
I'm not the most crafty person, so this is a bit outside my comfort zone, but in a really good way. A fun challenge.

What if this year our #secretsantaaonz was about something useful. A smile and food. A smile and warm socks. A smile and a $20 voucher at a Zed. A smile and a hand made throw. A smile and a box of window film wrap. Stuff like that.
We haven't tried a THEME but this might be the year.

I'm happy to offer anyone in Kāpiti who needs it a lift if you're struggling with the cost of fuel and need to get somewhere
I've got an EV and charge with solar so I'm very fortunate
