Hawaiian Santa

You know the song...Hawaiian Santa is a sight to see, when he comes surfing into Waikiki, he waves aloha bringing Christmas cheer, Mele Kalikimaka and Happy New Year...

The Christmas decorations are up. The tree, the Christmas village, the exterior illumination as my dad likes to call it, the ten-foot star on the roof, and Surfin' Santa hangs ten once again on his plywood wave beside the driveway. I love this time of year!

Christmas movie recommendations:
Deck the Halls is not the greatest, but it is entertaining. It's definitely worth a laugh, and I hate to admit it but Danny Devito outdid Christmas Vacation's Clark Griswold with the Christmas lights.

The Nativity Story: Awesome! I loved it. It's a realistic look at an amazing story that is, in my opinion, often misrepresented. Nativity scenes are just a little too cute. This movie reminds us that the most influential King of all time, the Son of God Himself really did enter this world in the most humble of ways: as helpless baby in a stinky barn. Mary's own life was in danger when people assumed she had been promiscuous. The couple faced an exhausting 100-mile journey to Bethlehem, then later had to flee to a foreign country while King Herod went on a rampage, killing every baby in the area. It's refreshing to take an accurate look at what that first Christmas was really like. Well done!
