We have people on this forum from around the world. What is your tradition to share with us? Or what do you do for the holidays?
Hawaii traditions center around a major barbeque, where families and friends gather for a big luau cookout of fresh oysters, seasoned meats, and seasonal vegetables. Tons of desserts. You must have four times the food you need as everyone will be dragging home plate lunches which is tradition when you are ready to go home. While families celebrate luaus and picnics on the beach or in their backyards. Those who go to the beaches wear Santa hats and leis to go with their shorts and bikinis.
In the evening Christmas carols are sung in Hawaiian and various languages as we are multi-cultured and accompanied by ukulele or guitar band which is featured in a neighbors garage and you drag your lawn chair into the areas and sit and enjoy the music.
The Christmas traditions of Hawaii are a labor of love and creativity. We import our Xmas trees long before the season arrives from across the Pacific Ocean, which arrives on the Xmas Tree Ship. They look for the best grand firs, noble, and other popular varieties of fir or pine.
Locals create Xmas trees by decorating the Palm trees for outdoor displays and we often substitute Santa Claus’s sleigh and reindeer with an outrigger canoe and dolphins. We provide the elves with aloha shirts.
Last night the locals love the spectacular and the noise,.... they put up thousands of lights and decorations on their vehicles and parade them through the streets, horns blaring for hours and people flock the sidewalks to watch them go by. Which always piss off the local witch...who complains loudly about the noise to the police and newspapers.
Wishing you a great holiday....to a great bunch of people on this forum!! Di
