Received my #SecretSantaAoNZ gift from my Secret Santa today. Wow! So many packages to unwrap on opening day. So excited!
A stack of different sized wrapped parcels are lying on a wood benchtop. The gifts are wrapped in a variety of Christmas wrap. Two presents are in red ho ho ho paper, two in gold patterned paper and one with white patterned paper. There is a green envelope with my account name on the front.

Re #SecretSantaAoNZ I wanted to re-iterate what other players have said more eloquently...it really is the thought that counts. I'm just excited to get something for me in the post that I didn't have to pay for! Whatever you have the capacity to send, whether home-made, thrifted, or re-gifted...

Also consider writing to the Medical Council of NZ about this political interference in healthcare delivery. It’s their job to “promote good medical practice and protect the public’

It's beginning to look a bit like Christmas,
With sign up going live!🎶🎵

So here's the Bluesky Secret Santa AoNZ, with some friends from Mastodon along for the ride. We hope you are looking forward to some fun, and that we can bring it to you 🎄
Official hashtag: #SecretSantaAoNZ
App: secretsanta.nz
The Bluesky Mastodon Secret Santa Aotearoa New Zealand rules are: The FIRST RULE of Secret Santa is: Be kind, please. The SECOND RULE of Secret Santa is: Be excellent to each other. The THIRD RULE of Secret Santa is to closely follow these instructions: You must enter an up to date postal address (or PO Box) on the Secret Santa App. Your gift must be sent by Tracked Post / Courier by 5th Dec AND your tracking number loaded into the Secret Santa App. If your address changes after 19th Nov you MUST DM @secretsanta.nz If your situation changes and you can no longer play after the matches are assigned you MUST DM @secretsanta.nz If your gift is being sent to work, you must take it home as soon as you receive it in case covid/life gets in the way The FOURTH RULE of Secret Santa is you must post some hints for your Santa using the hashtag #SecretSantaAoNZ. Post likes/dislikes, hobbies, interests, current hyperfixations, allergies, sock size etc - important stuff. The more the better! Stuck on what to post? Check out what others are sharing on the hashtag. The FIFTH RULE of Secret Santa is: Put aroha into your gift and ONLY SPEND WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD. It's the thought that counts is very much the foundation and spirit of Secret Santa. The SIXTH RULE of Secret Santa is: Opening Day is 17th Dec when you will open your gift and post videos or photos and much excitement! If you cannot do this date, please post in advance and again on the day when you will be opening. We understand that life might happen. The SEVENTH RULE of Secret Santa is that if you are disappointed in your gift, please do not post it onto your account. Let @secretsanta.nz know why in a DM and we can go from there.

Sign this petition about the Regulatory Standards Bill, please

petitions.parliament.nz/212f27b2-98f...
Petition request That the House of Representatives urge the Government to withdraw the Regulatory Standards Bill from the legislative programme. Petition reason I am petitioning the House because nearly every submission on the Regulatory Standards Bill opposed it, yet the Government plans to pass it anyway. I believe this shows disregard for public participation and democratic integrity. I think the Government is ignoring the 98.7 percent of submitters who oppose the bill and cannot be trusted to listen. I feel that Parliament must act to restore public trust by urging the Government to withdraw this Bill.
