    2003 Holidays Act Review [ref: http://dol.govt.nz/consultation/holidays-act-review/] submission by Keith Rankin, 21 August 2009 Keith Rankin Lecturer Dept of Accounting and Finance Faculty of Creative Industries and Business Unitec New Zealand Private Bag 92025, Auckland 1025 Phone: +64 9 815 4321 ext 8835 Mobile: 027 417 8715 PART ONE: TREATMENT OF PUBLIC HOLIDAYS (Q13 in "Request for written submissions") • What are your views on the significance of the 11 public holidays listed in the Act? (These are: Christmas Day; Boxing Day; New Year's Day; 2 January; Waitangi Day; Good Friday; Easter Monday; ANZAC Day; Queen's Birthday; Labour Day; and Provincial Anniversary Day.) A. SIGNIFICANCE AND TIMING OF PUBLIC HOLIDAYS New Zealand has 11 Statutory Public Holidays each year, including provincial anniversary holidays. There have been 11 holidays for over 35 years now. There is no reason to change the number of public holidays. Historically, New Zealanders have shown a commitment to these holidays by providing 'statutory holidays in lieu' for the Christmas and New Year holidays when the actual holidays fall on a weekend, and by "Mondayising" most of the others (2 exceptions), ensuring that when holidays fall on weekends, they are not lost. Thus the periodic "long weekend" has become an integral part of the Kiwi lifestyle; an integral part of what it means to be a New Zealander. New Zealanders, while having a deserved international reputation as diligent workers, have had a longstanding commitment to worklife balance that is reflected in the incorporation of our holidays into our culture as long weekends.

  • Santa Claus from Country to Country
    Santa Claus from Country to Country Lesson topic: Various ways Santa is portrayed in different countries Content Concepts: -Learn about various Santa Claus legends United States, Belgium, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, New Zealand, Romania, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, Chile. -Social Studies, history, map skills -Reading (list of library books) -Math problems -Science projects -Craft projects -Writing practice -Gaming skills -Music (list of Christmas CD’s) Proficiency levels: Grades 4 - 6 Information, Materials, Resources: Social Studies, History, and Map skills United States: The modern portrayal of Santa Claus frequently depicts him listening to the Christmas wishes of young children. Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folklore figure in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, normally on Christmas Eve . Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas , but refers to Santa Claus. In today's North American, European and worldwide celebration of Christmas, people young and old simply refer to the hero of the season as Santa , or Santa Claus. (Wikipedia) Conventionally, Santa Claus is portrayed as a kindly, round-bellied, merry, bespectacled white man in a red coat trimmed with white fur, with a long white beard . On Christmas Eve, he rides in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer from house to house to give presents to children. To enter the house, Santa Claus comes down the chimney and exits through the fireplace . During the rest of the year he lives together with his wife Mrs. Claus and his elves manufacturing toys . Some modern depictions of Santa (often in advertising and popular entertainment) will show the elves and Santa's workshop as more of a processing and distribution facility, ordering and receiving the toys from various toy manufacturers from across the world.

  • Summer Scenes and Flowers: the Beginnings of the New Zealand Christmas Card, 1880-1882
    Summer Scenes and Flowers: The Beginnings of the New Zealand Christmas Card, 1880-1882 Peter Gilderdale Keywords: #Christmas traditions #card sending #New Zealand identity #cultural colonisation #photography In October 1883, just as New Zealanders began the annual ritual of buying seasonal tokens of esteem to post overseas, Dunedin’s Evening Star, quoting local photographers the Burton Brothers, posed a question that had exercised immigrants for some years. “Does it not seem folly,” the paper asked “to send back to the Old Country Christmas cards which were manufactured there and exported hither?”1 This was a rhetorical question and the Evening Star went on to respond that “a few years since we should have replied ‘No’; but in view of the experiences of the last two years we say most decidedly, ‘Yes, it is folly.’” The newspaper, clearly, saw the period of 1881 and 1882 as pivotal in the establishment of a small but important industry, the New Zealand Christmas card business.2 My paper examines why these years are significant and what lies behind the debate, identifying a number of early cards and documenting the accompanying developments, primarily via the lens of newspaper advertising. The 1880s Christmas card may not have been an industry on the scale of lamb, but what it lacked in bulk it made up for in symbolism, providing a discrete window into the web of entangled emotional, commercial and design imperatives that attended the way immigrants imagined and constructed this important cultural celebration. 5 For European immigrants to New Zealand, now as well as then, the This newly reframed Christmas provides the context within move to the other side of the world has an unwelcome side-effect.

It’s been a strange year for many, but we have emerged largely unscathed, although it remains to be seen what Brexit will mean in the long-run. I am still enjoying Denmark tremendously, particularly married life with Jane, although things are definitely getting tougher. Because of lack of funding, I haven’t been on any really long distance trips this year, but managed to take several European excursions. Many familiar faces at the ANTS2016 meeting in Munich My fieldwork was not particularly extensive this year, but I did spend a week on the island of Læsø, one of my favourite places in Denmark, where I was very happy to be joined by Mischa Dijkstra for the last couple of days of sample collection. Mischa then stayed with us in Brønshøj for a couple of days, and it was great to catch up with him. Emily, in typical literary mode Emily the cat continues to become more integrated into our family (she’s training us well), so last Christmas saw me visiting my parents in Islip (U.K.) for a few days over the festive season on my own, while Jane stayed in Denmark to look after her, a procedure that I repeated over Easter.
