Christmas day in Hawaii is a special day--the sun shines brighter, the birds sing louder, and the palm trees sway and beckon ohana outside to celebrate. Author Beth Greenway describes the perfect Christmas day in sing-song rhyme. After presents are opened, a family heads to the beach to spend the day together. Auntie dances hula, keiki swim in the ocean, and Santa paddles in on a red canoe. It's a quiet ode to a perfect island Christmas filled with family and friends simply shared until the sun goes down over the ocean.

The well-known poem about an important Christmas Eve visitor.
