Christmas in Honolulu

80 degree weather, no chance of snow, yet the people here really know how to decorate and celebrate for the holidays. The first Saturday of December is the tree lighting ceremony with a parade. Then frequently throughout the month there are cookie and milk nights, hot chocolate nights, more parades, holiday movie nights, and free pictures with Santa. They devote an entire government building to housing decorated trees and wreaths. The mall has dancing Christmas trees to holiday music and foam snowflakes throughout the day. It's no white Christmas but they put up a good act.

No snow in my forecast

He may be still be St. Nick but he does things island style over here, notice the shaka and open shirt
