It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… well, as much as it can in Hawaii. After all, you won’t find freezing temperatures or snow here, unless you head to the summit of the Big Island’s Mauna Kea, that is. However, our lack of winter certainly has nothing on our holiday spirit, as evidenced by these 9 Hawaiian Christmas songs.
While we love large holiday celebrations as much as the next person, there is a charming gingerbread house nestled in the Hawaiian forest that will undoubtedly fill you with holiday spirit AND provide you with a much-needed retreat from the stress of the holiday season. Let’s check it out:
