First trip after the Holiday;  to Wal-Mart (yes there is one
on Kauai;  unfortunately,  put a lot of small Mom/Pop
shops into retirement!

" Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the Island Greeting that I send to you
>From the land where palm trees sway
(And the birds fly backwards
to keep the Sun from their eyes)
Here we Know that Christmas will be Green and Bright
the Sun will shine by day and the Stars by Night....
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say Merry Christmas, a Very Merry Christmas,
A Merry, Merry Christmas to You."

Much Aloha and 73, Jim,  KH7M
