Do lots of blogs when I get the chance, but sometimes don't do all the links on the thread before posting.

You are both soooo busted ;) Raising awareness of Matariki sounds like a great idea, and it would be nice to see more MPs joining in. Too bad the Herald tries to spin this as a negative story by opening with how much it cost.

I would have thought, BB, that as someone who is on record on this blog as having no support for "Middle-Eastern superstition), you would support her doing something as an alternative to Christmas cards that has no overt religious connotations.

Coming from the Northern Hemisphere, I am looking for any reason to celebrate during the winter (when are we going to move Christmas for heavens sake) and Matariki is the perfect excuse!
