Christmas, Hawaiian Style

We had a few days of heavy rain this week, which made me feel like Hawaii was trying to assert that it, too, has a winter season. But now we're back to sunshine and 80 degree weather as we creep closer to Christmas. Here's a few other things that make this Christmas so different than the ones we've had before.

This sign has been posted in our elevator for a week. It really expresses the true feelings of Hawaiians toward Mainlanders, without coming right out and saying it: We know you suckers are freezing over there.


For those who can't see it says: "You are here. [Picture of Sun, and a Thumbs up]. They are there [Picture of... I'm not sure what, but they're getting snowed on. Thumbs Down]. Now isn't that dandy?"

And then this is the Men's Department at Macy's while I was doing some Christmas shopping for John. Aloha shirts as far as the eye can see!

Though it's been said many times... not always this way: Mele Kalikimaka!
