Mele Kalikimaka 2024!

23 12 2024

Christmas aloha from all of us at the Studio. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. We are looking forward to holiday time with family and friends. The cookies are baked and ready to give to neighbors on the lane. There are already presents under the tree, but what will Santa Claus bring?

Earlier this month when relatives from Pennsylvania were here, we hosted a kanikapila (let’s play music) at our place with guitar, ukulele, bass, dulcimer, tambourine, and egg rattle.

I sang in the Windward Choral Society concerts and have been helping out with retail sales at our favorite store Nohea Gallery at Kahala Mall in Honolulu.

In my travels around Oahu I photographed Christmas trees. Please have a look below. As always, be well!

Happy New Year, too!

Merry Christmas, everyone, to you and yours from all of us at the studio. Be kind to one another, keep the faith, and stay cozy for the new year. Here are some images that might keep in the mood this  season.

Our Christmas tree is an artificial one that unfolds to a height of six feet every year. It’s on a pie crust table, from Pennsylvania, that gives it more height.

As we say in Hawaiʻi, “Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hauʻoli Makahiki Hou!”

Be well.
