Kiwi Christmas wish is more about spending time with friends and family. This unique wish has topped the list of a survey that asked Kiwis what they want for Christmas. Conducted by Cadbury NZ, the survey found, "spending time with friends and family is Kiwis' greatest Christmas wish" and gave the impression that New Zealanders are very caring and loving people.

In the survey, holiday stood out as the second most requested gift, followed by a new car. Other requests were iPhones, boats, TV's and home entertainment systems. But the time to relax with requests such as "a good night's sleep" and "some peace and quiet" surpassed all other wishes, reported Community Scoop. Nz.

The survey also highlighted the economic complusions across the country and a lot of Kiwis have worries at the money front. Many Kiwis are also concerned about health, with many respondents requesting for "good health and happiness for family" and "good health into the New Year". Kiwis are also giving the pets enough care, with a number of respondents saying "a new puppy or kitten" as a fresh addition to the family by New Year.

Sporting South

The research also showed a regional divide with more South Islanders requesting leisure and equipment for Christmas than the North Islanders. The research, commissioned by Cadbury for a new Christmas campaign, was released on Sunday. The campaign, "Catch Christmas with Cadbury Dairy Milk," runs for two weeks on TV2 and offers New Zealanders the opportunity to "catch" Christmas gifts as they fall off Santa's sleigh. The promotion enables people to snap a picture of gifts with their phones as and when they fall across their screen. Those who upload them to Facebook will win a gift. Cadbury New Zealand General Manager Jack Evison said he is excited to bring Christmas cheer to Kiwis across the country.

New Zealand Post Gesture
