Merry Christmas Eve

by on Dec. 24, 2012, under Health, Life, Religion

It’s that time again to wish everyone Happy Holidays and all Season’s Greetings.

I’ll say it in Hawaiian — “Mele Kalikimaka”, since I am currently home for the holidays visiting my 92 year old mother in her rural village, and my 27 year old son who lives on the same island. I have lots of other relatives here in Hawaii and may be seeing some of them as well.

May your holidays be filled with fun, family fellowship, and friendship.

Thanks to our Tucsoncitizen.com loyal readers who keep coming back to our website for “news, information, commentary, opinion & perspective”.

Looking forward to 2013 as a new year filled with hope, peace and love. Happy New Year next week, and keep spreading that “aloha spirit” into the new year. And if you’re unsure what exactly qualifies as “aloha spirit”, read one of my previous posts “Do you Practice Aloha?” (click here).

    I never could master Hau’oli Makahiki Hou, Happy New Year

      Mahalo for the link to the Bing Crosby version. I have been hearing that song on the radio, but the funny thing is hearing “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” and seeing inflatable snow men in people’s yards.

        It’s probably a White Christmas on the top of Mount Kilauea.

          Actually not sure if there’s snow on Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa, can’t see above the cloud cover. Maybe it is white up there.
