Mele Kalikimaka - Hawaiin Style


We began the month of December taking tickets at Island Feast. How fun to greet guests and wish them a Merry Christmas the Hawaiian way.
This is Helena from Switzerland.  She speaks 4 different languages and is a great friend.  We love to listen to her speak French, German, Swedish,  and broken English.  We have matching muumuus & shirt so decided to take our picture. There are beautiful Christmas trees and lights everywhere at the PCC.
Tuesday we had a musical devotional from the fine arts department of the college. There were various Christmas musical selections from the choral groups as well as brass and percussion instruments. It was beautiful to see students dressed in colorful Hawaiian muumuus and formal attire. 

Friday night we took tickets for a Hawaiian Vocalist, "Amy Gilliam" and enjoyed watching her performance.  The best was the Lead Group who performed before her.  They are called HI.IKUA. We listened to great guitar playing, awesome harmony, and fancy finger work on those guitars! Derick & Nathan would have appreciated the music.  We purchased their CD so we can listen to them often.  
We have loved dressing up and helping with "Christmas in Polynesia".(Guests ride around the lagoon in boats.The entire lagoon is serene & beautiful.  Mary sits on a real live horse.)
One night we represented Santa's Elves and passed gift boxes to each other as we danced to a catchy tune. Elder "Elf Reynolds" pretended he was a very old elf and the kids in the boats thought he was sooooo funny!
This is Sis. Rigby from Korea who danced with us.
The next night we had cute candy cane aprons and tossed candy canes into the boat (or water) as they came past us. The cutest little kids dance an African Dance.  We feed them lots of candy canes!!
