Green light for salt water pools 

FUNDING FOR a $19 million 

project to build hot salt water 

pools in New Brighton could be 

a turning point for the seaside 

suburb. 

The city council plans to 

approve $11 million in additional 

funding for the project in its next 

annual plan in February. 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board chairwoman Kim Money 

said the $11m will be added to 

$8m already granted to the project 

by the city council. 

The whale pool will be enlarged 

and heated, a nearby park 

upgraded, the New Brighton Surf 

Lifesaving Club redeveloped and 

coastal work undertaken. 

$19 MILLION POOLS: The St Clair pools in Dunedin have 

been touted as one option for the design of New Brighton’s 

hot salt water pools. 

“We have turned a corner. I’m 

absolutely stoked and so are the 

community. It gives us something 

to look forward to,” said 

Mrs Money. 

“It has been a long time 

coming. There have been lots of 

feasibility studies, but now we 

will finally see some action.” 

The development will be rolledout 

in stages, with work to begin 

straight away on the substantive 

upgrade of the whale pool playground. 

Development Christchurch 

Ltd will bring the wider New 

Brighton regeneration plan that 

covers all these projects to city 

council for funding consideration 

and approval in February 

next year, which would enable 

it to be consulted on as part of 

the annual plan process. The 

New Brighton pedestrian mall 

will also be revamped under a 

council-developed master plan 

for the area. 

“We will see pegs in the ground 

next year and that is really exciting,” 

Mrs Money said. 

She said the plans will be integrated 

with a city council master 

plan for New Brighton that involves 

reducing retail space in the 

suburb and extending Oram Ave 

all the way through to Hawke St 

to provide a shopping precinct 

sheltered from the easterly. 

DCL will begin initial planning 

for the development. Previously, 

the city council struggled to attract 

commercial partners after 

committing $5m to the project 

last year. 

More than 920 people responded 

to council’s call for 

feedback in October, with 90 per 

cent wanting the whale in the 

children’s paddling pool to stay 

and 85 per cent wanting council 

to prioritise the hot pool development. 

Warm welcome

It was one of 12 schools from across

were well attended by friends, families 

and visitors.

FANTASTIC NEWS for New 

Brighton – it looks like the salt 

water pools will now be a reality 

(see page 5). 

In fact that’s better than fantastic 

news. 

Salt water pools, and other 

amenities, bring people, and that 

then tends to attract other businesses, 

usually predominately 

food and beverage and things then 

begin to snowball. 

Brighton has been neglected for 

decades by investors and the city 

council has been conspicuous by 

its absence. 

So with the salt water pools now 

likely to be a goer, lets look further 

– an aquarium, maybe a jetty 

to launch fishing trips out into 

Pegasus Bay, more backpacker 

lodges and a hotel with accommodation. 

The world could be Brighton’s 

oyster.

Anger over evacuation plan 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

NEW BRIGHTON residents are 

furious a tsunami evacuation 

plan for the area – which could 

have prevented the traffic chaos 

– was kept under wraps. 

Police had an evacuation plan 

prepared that detailed things 

such as which streets people 

in the coastal areas would be 

directed down. 

But because 

the community 

was not told in 

advance, there was 

chaos on the roads 

Hugo 

Kristinsson 

when the tsunami 

sirens were 

sounded, leaving 

some people 

trapped in traffic for more than 

an hour. 

Some drivers used both sides 

of the road, roundabouts were 

blocked and people trying to 

find different routes to escape 

traffic jams clogged the roads 

even further. 

South Brighton Residents’ 

Association chairman Hugo 

Kristinsson said people needed 

to know the plan in advance 

because emergency services 

often couldn’t reach the area 

immediately. 

“It’s not useful to anyone if 

it’s locked away in a drawer 

somewhere,” he said. 

Police district operations 

commander Craig McKay said a 

list of the best exits to use in an 

evacuation was available online 

on the city council website. But 

most residents did not know 

about them. 

Inspector McKay said the 

plan had been developed for a 

distant source tsunami, where 

emergency services had time to 

manage an evacuation. 

There would not be time to 

roll it out if a local earthquake 

triggered a tsunami, he said. 

Some streets could be made 

one-way to get people out faster 

if there was a lot of warning, but 

that would not work in a locallytriggered 

tsunami, he said. 

“If it happens in the middle of 

the day, people will need to get 

kids out of school or help elderly 

or vulnerable family members, 

so we have got to have two-way 

traffic,” he said. 

Civil Defence has also been 

criticised for its lack of response 

after the failed evacuation, as 

it did not respond to calls and 

emails left by residents’ groups 

over the past three weeks. 

City council head of Civil 

Defence Alicia Palmer said she 

had not responded to concerned 

groups in the New Brighton area 

because the messages had not 

gone to her. 

She said community meetings 

were planned for early next year. 

Community groups spoken 

to said that was too late, as 

people were worried about the 

immediate risk of a tsunami 

triggered by an aftershock. 

Ms Palmer said it would be 

difficult to organise meetings 

earlier because she and other 

staff had been busy with the 

response in North Canterbury. 

But she said Civil Defence 

would try to send staff to 

meetings organised by the 

community or phone groups to 

help develop community plans. 

She personally went to a 

residents’ meeting in Sumner 

this week to speak about the 

evacuation after being invited 

by the Sumner Volunteer Fire 

Brigade. 

New Brighton Volunteer Fire 

Brigade secretary Ruth Kenny 

said the brigade was concerned, 

but had not been asked to hold a 

similar meeting. 

A national review of the 

response has been promised 

to look into problems like the 

communication failure which 

meant national Civil Defence 

was telling people along the 

coast to evacuate while local 

Civil Defence was not. 

It will also look into why 

the tsunami sirens were only 

activated about two hours after 

the earthquake.

REPEAT FIRE CALLS 

Firefighters were called to a property 

on Carisbrooke St three times 

to extinguish a bonfire. They were 

called at 11.50pm on Wednesday, 

and 12.40am and 1.30am on 

Thursday, before requesting police 

to attend. Station officer Omar 

Yusaf said while it was annoying 

to have to go three times, the occupants 

were “not too bad.” Police 

attended but no arrests were made. 

PAGES RD REPAIRED 

Work to resurface a section of 

Pages Rd between Shuttle Dr and 

Shortland St will be completed 

today. Meanwhile, Breezes Rd is 

expected to return to two-way traffic 

before Christmas. It is currently

Caring for TurTles 

Foot injury needing veterinary attention. 

Turtle Facts: 

Turtles are not your average pets. They 

are fascinating creatures that aren’t 

particularly complicated to care for as 

long as you invest a little time and have 

the right equipment, you can enjoy them 

for a possible 25 to 40 years! 

Pet turtles in NZ are usually red-eared 

sliders or snake necks. Turtles are cold 

blooded so regulate their temperature 

from their environment, moving between 

sunning area and the layers of warm and 

cool water. 

Turtles have hard shells made up of 

around 60 bones covered by plates called 

scutes. Scutes are shed once or twice 

a year and can be easily scratched by 

minor trauma or softened by prolonged 

immersion in warm water. When they 

bask in the sun, their scutes dry and firm 

back up. 

The shell is part of its skeleton which is 

attached to the spine and the rib cage 

so they can’t crawl out of it. They can feel 

pressure and pain through their shells, 

just as you can feel pressure through your 

fingernails. 

Enviroment 

Turtles can grow to be 13-28cm in 

length so they will need a relatively large 

enclosure. An outdoor enclosure is the 

best place for your turtles – one with 

water to swim, rocks to sunbathe on and 

some shelter under which to keep cool. 

If you are going to keep your turtle in an 

aquarium, it is very important to keep 

it clean. Turtles are messy eaters so the 

water needs to be changed regularly & 

good filter is essential. 

Plenty of natural light is good, but they 

also need special UV bulbs and a 

heat lamp. A full spectrum UVA/ 

UVB reptile light is necessary for 

the production of calcium and 

maintenance of the hardness of 

their shells. The ideal temperature 

in an aquarium should be carefully 

monitored and in the correct range. 

Gravel is not necessary, and very 

small gravel can be ingested by your 

turtle and this can cause blockage 

problems. Use stones that are large 

enough not to be swallowed or river 

rocks. 

Diet 

A healthy, balanced diet for turtles consists 

of a wide variety of foods, from snails to 

alfalfa. Red-eared turtles are omnivores, 

eating mostly meat when young and 

becoming vegetarian as they age and 

need less protein. Juveniles turtles (up to 

1yr old) should be fed twice a day and 

adults every second day. They can only 

feed in water. 

Turtles like to eat worms, snails, insects, 

fish and boiled chicken. The plants they 

prefer include most varieties found in 

tropical fish tanks, plus lettuce, cabbage, 

alfalfa, and berries. Turtle food bought 

from a pet shop contains essential 

vitamins and minerals including calcium, 

which is needed for the development of 

the shell. A poor diet results in a soft shell 

and a lethargic pet. 

Do not feed - Red meat or processed 

meat. Cat or dog food, avocado, spinach, 

silverbeet, peas, corn, cauliflower, 

cabbage, broccoli, fruits, raw chicken, 

rhubarb, beetroot, tomato, celery 

Turtle Problems 

If your Turtle has the correct diet and 

environment it is unlikely to get ill or have 

problems but there are a few things to 

look out for. 

These include: Soft shell syndrome 

(Metabolic Bone Disease): a result of poor 

diet and/or insufficient lighting. Fungal 

infections: a cotton-like layer on the shell, 

eyes or mouth. Respiratory infections: 

Wheezing, lethargy, a runny nose and loss 

of appetite, all due to an environment that 

is too cold. 

If you see any of these symptoms in your 

pet, make sure you take them to us for 

assessment and treatment. 

I really enjoy looking after the turtles that 

come through our vet clinic. They are 

beautiful, amazing and resilient creatures. 

There is never a dull moment at work and 

you never know what creatures we will 

treat next!

More to Xmas than gifts 

This week’s

about not losing sight 

of what Christmas 

really means 

For most of us Christmas 

is a time of great 

happiness. 

Children are excited 

as they receive gifts and 

we use the time to get together 

as families and with 

friends to celebrate. 

For some people, this 

time of year also has great 

religious significance as we 

recall the birth of Jesus. 

Whatever our belief, it is 

a time to get together with 

those we love and enjoy 

ourselves. 

Not everyone has good 

reason to celebrate. 

For some people, Christmas 

reminds them of happier 

days long gone. 

Days when, for example, 

they were not fighting addiction, 

had not suffered 

loss and separation and 

were not unemployed and

Christmas can be a time

Many old people are

Christmas rush. 

Christmas can also be a 

time of over spending. 

We all want to give as 

much as we can to our 

children and to those we 

love. 

We are often seduced by 

advertising and easy credit 

into buying goods that we 

cannot afford and we are

Christmas, maybe we 

should cut back our spending 

to what we can afford. 

Homemade gifts or offers 

to help out during the 

year are just as acceptable 

as expensive presents and 

still tell people we love 

them. 

Remembering the lonely 

and being aware of the 

need to include them in 

our celebrations and giving 

people our time may 

be the very best gift. And, 

if it is safe to do so, then 

Christmas may be the time 

for family reconciliation. 

Even if Christmas has no 

religious meaning for us 

we can still give love – the 

greatest gift of all.

Art helps put a halt to tagging 

ARANUI’S ST James School 

pupils are the first in the city 

to be part of a new graffitistopping 

initiative. 

Pupils Paul, 8, and Bailey, 

9, are the first in the school to 

have created a mural to cover 

a local utility cabinet, with the 

hopes of preventing graffiti. 

The project is being led by the 

city council and telecommunications 

provider Chorus. The 

two entities are asking schools 

and community groups to get 

involved in designing artwork 

to cover up graffiti on more 

than 500 cabinets in the city. 

The first in the city to be 

painted have been chosen 

because they were hotspots for 

tagging. 

All 26 pupils from the year 3 

and 4 class at St James School 

submitted entries, but Paul and 

Bailey’s painting – featuring 

crosses, lightning bolts, a Pasifika-style 

spearhead pattern, and 

a variation on the Superman 

symbol, was a standout. 

“I thought that using the 

crosses would be a bit holy for 

people that are holy around this 

community,” Paul said. 

The two friends hope their 

box, which they painted with 

help from other students, will 

stay free of graffiti in future so 

everyone can enjoy it. 

TOP DESIGN: Paul and Bailey’s painting – featuring crosses, lightning bolts, a Pasifikastyle 

spearhead pattern, and a variation on the Superman symbol, was a standout for the 

selectors. 

Paul said the colours were 

carefully chosen; green for its 

calming effect, yellow for its 

cheerfulness and red for anger 

to deter taggers. 

Bailey said he liked drawing 

because if you make a mistake 

“you can just keep going and 

forget about it”. 

St James School teacher Mareta 

Pelenato said the children 

were encouraged to come up 

with a design that related to 

their community and what 

made it special. 

Art had been a big focus for 

her class this year and the kids 

loved doing it. 

“It’s their time to be free and 

go with the flow.” 

City council’s graffiti team 

leader Val Merryweather said 

the idea behind the scheme was 

for local schools and community 

groups to take ownership 

of the utility cabinets and in 

this way discourage vandalism. 

About 15 schools and community 

groups have already 

been approached and Ms Merryweather 

hopes eventually 

every cabinet in the city will be 

turned into an artwork. 

New site for 

toy library 

• By Andrew King 

MORE SPACE, a front lawn and 

cows nearby to entertain the 

children – Papanui Toy Library 

believes it has relocated to an almost 

perfect spot. 

The well-used library was facing 

a bleak future after news that its 

premises at 472 Cranford St was to 

be demolished by the end of the year 

due to earthquake damage. 

But it has now moved into its new 

home at 185 Cavendish Rd, a place 

which ticks nearly all the boxes, according 

to secretary Natalie Sisson. 

“It is almost the perfect place. (It) 

could be a bit bigger – with the 1000 

plus toys we have, we need a lot of 

room,” she said. 

Even with the move, Ms Sisson 

said people are still coming through 

the door and remarking about how 

lucky they are. 

“There is a big grass area out the 

front, some cows that the kids love 

and diggers over the fence. [The 

children] love it,” she said. 

The service is used by about 100 

members and has been in operation 

since 1993. It is open to parents 

Wednesday evening and Saturday 

morning. The library is planning 

an open day on February 25 to let 

people know they have moved into 

the neighbourhood.

School celebrates 105 

years before closure 

ARANUI PRIMARY School 

celebrated 105 years of education 

just six days before it was closed 

for good. 

The school opened in 1911 and 

closed its doors last Thursday. 

The school held celebrations 

for the milestone on December 9 

before its final ever assembly on 

December 15. 

Aranui is one of four schools 

closing to make way for super 

school, Haeata Community Campus. 

The other schools are Wainoni 

and Avondale primary schools 

and Aranui High School. 

Aranui High also closed on the 

same day as the primary school. 

Aranui celebrated in many different 

ways during its Big Day In 

event, held alongside the 105-year 

celebrations. 

Pupils, guests and former pupils 

took part in the 105th celebrations 

with a haka powhiri, traditional 

welcomes and speeches. 

Following that was a hangi, and 

the classrooms were opened for 

guests to walk through. 

GIVE A LITTLE: This Christmas, FreshChoice and SuperValue supermarkets are 

encouraging customers to give back to their local community. FreshChoice Parklands 

store owner Julian Brown (left) and Salvation Army Linwood Centre manager Stephen 

Lapslie put a few cans in the trolley with store manager Terriann Jackson as part of the 

Give Local campaign, which allows customers to donate non-perishable food items 

and health products to those in need. Specially-marked food collection trolleys are in 

place now at every FreshChoice and SuperValue store throughout New Zealand until 

New Year’s Day. All items collected are destined to support local charities, such as 

the Salvation Army, community food banks and community-led food collections from 

organisations like the Lions Club. Christchurch-based FreshChoice and SuperValue 

brands manager Liz de Lange said: “We encourage customers to look at what they are 

able to afford and pop a few extra items in their trolley to give to the local charity.” The 

supermarkets are also collecting for the Red Cross Kaikoura earthquake appeal at all 

checkouts. Collections have been started by a $5000 donation from the supermarket 

group.

Hosted by Michael Bayly and

FLAME FILES 

Don’t drink and fry 

Fire risk management 

officer Mark Thomas 

writes about the danger 

of cooking after drinking 

alcohol 

THE LAZY hazy days of 

summer. 

Where it fell to about nine 

deg C and teemed with rain 

during the week making a 

number of winter type calls to 

lines down, flooding and false 

alarms. 

Where also a car that slid 

off the hill at Akaroa early on 

Tuesday was noted to have the 

four occupants still inside. They 

weren’t trapped. Just staying in 

the only place for miles out of 

the cold, wind and rain. 

A couple of duckling rescues 

occurred, one of which 

reported two survivals, two 

fatalities. It hasn’t been the 

most encouraging start to this 

summer. 

We also had a couple of 

instances this week that could 

have gone seriously wrong that 

involved alcohol. In one, a house 

in Addington, the occupant fell 

asleep with a cigarette in hand. 

Too many times in the past 

this has been the precursor to a 

tragedy. 

The other call in Somerfield 

was another situation we regularly 

preach. 

Don’t drink and fry! 

Here the occupant fell asleep 

with food on the stove. 

Smoke seen by a neighbour, 

Fire Service called and disaster 

averted. Just! 

It is the season to be jolly. 

Which means office parties, 

break-up barbecues and heaps of 

alcohol. That’s fine. 

It’s just making sure that the 

consequences of partying up 

don’t include killing yourself 

with fire. 

This is the last column for 

2016. 

Many thanks again to Pegasus 

Post for providing the ongoing 

opportunity for me to talk fire to 

Christchurch residents. 

Merry Christmas to everyone!

PEGASUS POST 

From rugby to surf boating 

SPORTS 

• By Gordon Findlater 

SHIRLEY BOYS’ High School’s 

first XV co-captains have taken 

their comradeship from the 

rugby paddock to the beach. 

Logan Bell and Josh Archer 

have recently taken up surf boat 

racing with the North Beach 

Surf Life Saving Club and are 

proving pretty handy. 

Their sights are on the 

national championships at 

New Brighton in March after a 

strong finish at their first major 

carnival earlier this month. 

Bell and Archer, who have just 

finished school, co-captained 

the first XV to their second 

straight UC Championship 

final this year. They were also 

co-captains for the school at 

under-14 and 15 level, guiding 

both teams to respective 

championship wins. 

Archer has a background 

in individual surf life saving 

events, having competed in the 

sport for the past eight years. 

Bell has previous flat water 

experience, rowing for Shirley 

BHS at the Maadi Cup. 

The North Beach under-19 

surf boat crew has a strong 

Shirley BHS presence. 

Alongside Bell and Archer are 

fellow first XV teammates Glen 

Beardsley and Nathan Koolen. 

The new crew guided their 

boat to second place in the

under-19 section at the first 

round of the New Zealand Surf 

Boat Series in Porirua recently. 

“Josh had a few of the rugby 

guys on earlier in the year that 

he wanted us to give it a go. 

We’ve only been together a few 

months but things are going 

really well, “ said Bell. 

He has found a passion for the 

sport. 

“I find it so much better than 

flat water. You’re on edge the 

whole time, when you’re rowing 

into the waves you have no idea 

when you’re going to get hit, 

it certainly keeps you on your 

toes,” said Bell. 

Said Archer: “Logan and I go 

way back and the relationship 

and bond we’ve developed 

definitely shows up in the surf 

boat. We’re constantly yelling 

at each other and telling each 

other what we need to do to get 

better and stronger as a crew.” 

The crew has only been 

together for three months. 

Said Archer: “At the nationals 

there will be an under-19 short 

course and long course medal 

up for grabs. We’re still pretty

green, but I feel like we’ve got 

the crew to do it and our open 

men’s crew are the current New 

Zealand champions so they’re a 

great resource we can tap into.” 

However, while they will be 

teammates in the surf boat, it 

will be a different story on the 

rugby field. 

Bell is set to play club rugby 

for Lincoln University in 2017, 

while Archer will play for his 

boyhood club New Brighton. 

The two clubs have a lot of 

recent history. 

Lincoln defeated New 

Brighton in this year’s metro 

rugby final, with New Brighton 

taking out the round-robin 

competition. 

“We were laughing the other 

day because our first pre-season 

game is actually against each 

other,” said Archer. 

Keas coach 

in running for 

major award 

LINWOOD KEAS coach Andrew 

Auimatagi is one of three finalists 

up for domestic coach of the year 

at the upcoming New Zealand 

Rugby League awards. 

Auimatagi coached the Keas to 

a Massetti Cup minor premiership, 

and then the Pat Smith Trophy 

after winning the Canterbury 

club grand-final. 

He also led the Canterbury 

Bulls to a third place finish in 

the New Zealand Premiership, 

narrowly missing out on a finals 

berth on points differential. 

The award ceremony will take 

place in Auckland on January 20, 

with Auimatagi going up against 

Papakura Sea Eagles coach 

Richie Blackmore and Counties 

Manukau Stingrays, New Zealand 

Residents and Southern Cross 

Campus coach, Rod Ratu, for the 

award. 

Auimatagi, a former Keas 

player, was also assistant coach of 

the New Zealand Residents side 

that defeated New Zealand Maori 

30-10. 

In October, Auimatagi was 

named coach of the year at 

the Canterbury Rugby League 

awards.

REAL ESTATE 

An Empty Nest 

130 Hackthorne Road, Cashmere 

6 bedrooms | 4 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 3 living rooms | 1 dining room | 1 office | 1 swimming pool | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing # BE192731 

With the family having left home this 

magnificent home is now simply too big 

for the vendor. Quintessentially Cashmere 

this superb home with sweeping views and 

all day sun will please the most discerning 

buyer. A superbly designed extension by 

Sheppard and Rout has resulted in a six 

bedroom, four bathroom, three living 

room home retaining the style and charm 

of its history whist giving the benefit of 

modern day living. Step into the large 

elegant entranceway and on into the large 

family kitchen and dining room area 

featuring beautiful timber floors and then 

through to the family room. A large formal 

wood panelled lounge is a wonderful 

space to perhaps achieve a quiet area from 

the bustle of family life. The adjoining 

conservatory can also double as room 

for teenagers, being big enough to take a 

table tennis table. A media room complete 

with speakers, projector and screen is a 

great place to entertain family and friends, 

perhaps after a bbq and swim in the heated 

inground pool. But perhaps the real 

surprise lies at the top of the house. Here 

is a purpose-built workspace, generous 

in size and ideal for those who wish to 

work from home. There is room for three 

people to comfortably work plus storage 

space for samples or stock. Attention to 

detail continues even into laundry and a 

refrigerated cool room. The large private 

grounds are a joy for the gardener with 

expansive lawns and well established trees 

and shrubs. You can sit on the deck and 

admire your garden in these long summer 

days to come. There is so much to see in 

the house - call now to view your new 

home.

Food business focuses on 

healthy choices 

Their experiences on New Zealand 

reality TV show MKR was the catalyst for 

two Christchurch women, Ricki and Jessie, 

to start their own food business – with the 

focus firmly on healthy eating. 

The pair spent many hours spent tasting, 

testing and developing a series of healthy, 

nutritionally balanced salads before 

launching Healthkicks in April 2015. 

“We wanted to provide healthy 

options for everyday people,” says Ricki. 

“Everyone’s busy these days and as a result 

they sometimes find it quicker and easier 

to get fast foods, which are often unhealthy. 

We wanted to change that culture and offer 

healthier options.” 

Their selection of fresh, tasty salads 

can be purchased in takeaway containers, 

which hold a generous portion of up to 

500 grams for $10. The salads can also be 

vacuum-packed, so they will last longer in 

the fridge. Those without lettuce can be 

served hot or cold. 

They are also available as platters to 

serve at parties and barbeques, and with 

Christmas Day and other festive occasions 

coming up, these would be ideal, Ricki says. 

They are delivered in vacuum packs for 

easy storage. And as a healthy sweet treat 

for ‘afters’, Healthkicks has the delicious 

snickers slice. 

Items are ordered through the website, 

healthkicks.nz, with free delivery available 

throughout the Christchurch area – 

minimum purchase $30. Orders placed by 

6pm will be delivered the following day, 

Monday to Friday. 

“We are finding that customers are 

ordering a week’s worth of salads on a 

Monday so they are set up for the week,” 

says Ricki. “Our food speaks for itself. As 

well as vegetables and proteins it contains 

healthy carbs, so it keeps you full.” 

Healthkicks also has a shop in 

Avonhead, at 104 Staveley Street, phone 

342 9541, where customers can purchase 

items or pick up their orders. Business 

hours are Monday 9am-1.30pm, Tuesday 

to Friday, 6.30am-1.30pm.

Christmas 

Church Services 

Merry 

Christmas 

to all 

Christmas – a time for 

celebration & worship 

Christmas Day is a holy day 

for Christians who mark the 25 

December as the birth of Christ. They 

come together in prayer and song, 

heralding the coming of Jesus, the son 

of God. 

Leading up to Christmas day is the 

period of advent. It begins on the 

Sunday closest to the 30 November, 

with the advent calendar counting 

down the days to Christmas while the 

advent wreath contains five candles 

representing the Sundays before the 

special day and one for Christmas 

Day. 

Joseph, a carpenter and Mary 

had been travelling 90 miles from 

Nazareth to Bethlehem; as Joseph was 

required to participate in a Census 

where the Roman rulers counted 

the number of Jewish people for tax 

purposes. 

Heavily pregnant Mary had been 

riding on a donkey. She gave birth in 

a cave stable where they slept with 

the animals due to there being no 

room at the inn. The nativity scene 

shows Jesus lying in a manger in the 

stable; often re-enacted by children as 

part of church services leading up to 

Christmas Day with some churches 

even having live animals as part of 

this service. 

A bright Star signalled the coming 

of Christ and guided wise men who 

took gifts of gold, frankincense 

and myrrh to the new born while 

shepherds were led there by an angel. 

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 

services are a time for rejoicing the 

birth of Christ when carols are sung 

and there is much happiness. 

Merry 

Christmas
