Christmas in Kahaluʻu

Most people may hate the Christmas season. Having to do all that shopping, wrapping, cooking and so on. Oh the stress of the season. I understand all of that (except the cooking. Haha), but I LOVE Christmas. Every year, I look forward to my two week visit home with my family. Who doesn't? I don't have to worry about work, I get to go shopping, and I get to see my family for two whole weeks. :-) I love it!!!

Usually when people see our Christmas pics, they are surprised at the amount of presents we have. What they don't realize is that we all spend Christmas together. Although we have all pretty much moved out of my mom's house (Tutu), and most have started their own families, Christmas is always spent at Tutu's house in Kahaluʻu. I think there are 25 of us to date.
