The Aloha View: Christmastime in Hawai’i

It’s that time of year again! Christmas hits the world at the same time every year, and it is always interesting to see how the world celebrates it.

In my current neck of the woods, Christmas still means putting up colorful lights. But those lights are wrapped around palm trees. And Santa still makes an appearance. But he’s wearing sunglasses and board shorts.

That’s right; it’s Christmas in Hawaii! Enjoy some pictures from my recent excursion into Honolulu.
