Happy Christmas NZCPR and all contributors and readers who write such excellent pieces and comments(for the most part). Let's keep the western Christmas traditions going, in a few years they could be a distant memory judging by overseas trends.
Merry Kirihimete Janine!
Merry Christmas to whoever made the post at 8.45am. Irrespective of what they may have said, they are still due some joy and happiness in the festive season. Aroha to all!
Feliz Navidad NZCPR. Some great in-depth research coming out of your research department in 2025 and long may it continue into 2026 and beyond. Merri Kirihimete!
I'm with you Janine - truly grateful for NZCPR - Muriel et al - which site I access every day - You deserve a break folks, but I'll be waiting for 2026! Whether practising Christian or not, people of good will - must ! prevail in this naughty world. Good sense is sometimes hard to find - but you got it!\
Love, E
Merry Christmas NZCPR. Your platform is an outstanding success. Congratulations.
