Auckland doesn't know how to do Christmas.
New Plymouth has it's festival of lights.
Napier, Taupo and a number of other towns have lights all down the main streets
In Rotorua many of them are up all year.
What does Auckland have?
A few wind battered decorations if we are lucky
Anything flasher is provided by private companies and individuals.
North Shore has a heavily sponsored laser light show in a car park and a trio of parades. The Glenfield one isn't even in December. The Takapuna parade was replaced by a "fiesta"
Auckland can't even provide any policing or traffic control for the crowds visiting Franklin Rd where every house is be decked with lights by the owners and residents.
Whatever else you may think of them, Telecom did a nice job of the tree in Victoria Park.
Bah humbug reins supreme in council circles.
