This page was created because I felt the Holidays and New Zealand articles would become too elaborate with duplicated information that is very specific to New Zealand if this page did not exist. I intend to reduce the information on holidays in the New Zealand article to just an overview. - kiwiinapanic 10:08, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article as a source?

This article has apparently been used by the Herald as a source [1] Nil Einne 17:52, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Commercial free TV

Is the reason TV is commercial free on Christmas, Easter Sunday and Good Friday (and ANZAZ morning I guess although I wasn't even aware TV was commercial free then :-P ) due to the same trading restrictions that prevent stores opening on these days? If so, someone should add it to the article. I could add it but given that I don't know (although it seems very likely) someone needs to confirm it first and I might not check back here for a while so it'll be easier if someone who knows can add it if it's true.

[edit] School Terms

You should mention that these days will vary from school to school because according to our High School all of your dates are incorrect...I think the only correct one for me is finishing Term 4 on 14/12 sorry but I thought this would be something to point out. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 222.152.5.72 (talk) 08:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC).

Well, they are incorrect, they are 2006 dates! :) thanks for the heads up Brian | (Talk) 09:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion or cleanup of Proposals for abolition of holidays

It seems this section should either be deleted or drastically cleaned up. The tone is completely wrong and I was left wondering who these people that the writer is referring to. Citation would help but it sounds like a personal opinion not an informative article. --117.53.151.24 (talk) 00:58, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ed Hillary Holiday

Sorry, really novice wikipedia editor, Just added the bit about making a holday in honor of Ed, cuz it's been topic of hot conversation around our house and thought it would fit well here. Colinspocket (talk) 02:43, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
