Wishing you and yours a happy holiday season. Here is my advent calender from last year that I thought I would share with you again this year. Each day click on on the corresponding door to be transported to a seasonal post celebrating the many holiday traditions enjoyed here in Hawai'i.

 

One change from last year's calendar is that Hanukaha will begin on the 6th of Dec. Mozel Tov!

Aloha Sharon, thanks for the re-visit. The number of hits for my post was very low so maybe this year it will pick up a little.

A lot of work to put that calendar together and I would have thought Door 7 would have been a  reminder

I personally don't include War Memorials as a Holiday activity. Memorializing WAR and celebrating Christmas, I'll leave that to the Industrial Military complex, and those who profit from global weapons sales and conflict.

Aloha Ed, I'm not sure what you are referring to, please explain.

Dec 7 in our nation's history is a most significant day, especially in Hawaii

This is so fun!  I did not grow up celebrating Advent.  I do however find there is always something to be learned from every tradition.  As I opened door 10, I was inspired by the quilting. Reminded me of a special time with my grandmother and me working on a quilt when I was about 5.

Aloha Anna Hatridge , I think the Advent Tradition and Real Estate are very simpatico. You never know what you will find behind each door, and there is always something new to learn about the living world around you.

Aloha Inna, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I decided to teach myself how to make gifs and this is the creative result of my self instruction. Each gif comprises of 9 individual frames that are strung together to create the illusion of movement. It's basic animation, a bit time consuming but I enjoyed the process. Mahalo for visiting!
