Christmas in Hawaii is truly something special – the sound of ukuleles strumming Christmas songs with Hawaiian lyrics. Sandy snowmen lining the beach and tropical palm trees lit up with Christmas lights and ornaments.
Before Christmas became a state holiday and before Christianity was introduced Makahiki was a season celebrated for four months during the winter solstice. Any form of conflict was forbidden during this time. That meant no fighting and no wars. It was a time to simply be thankful.
