Aloha to Honolulu Hale - Shaka under the Sea

Honolulu Hale (City Hall) turns into a Hall of Trees created by the city departments.  This year's theme was "Shaka under the Sea" - Shaka is the hand sign for "hang loose".    Above is an octopus from Community Services, made from Pork and Beans cans (I think the octopus ate the Spam) ....

... here's Ursula from THE LITTLE MERMAID courtesy of the Prosecutor's Office.  I thought this was very clever!

Emergency Services topped their tree with a octopus wearing a Santa's hat and police badge!

One office adopted the surfing Lorax .... 

... these fish are so happy!

Sid from ICE AGE makes a guest appearance in snorkeling gear.

Another Santa snorkeler ...

  
.... and a Santa with a lei!   What's your favorite holiday decoration in your house, neighborhood, or town?  One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash.  This giveaway is open to all readers.  Comments are open through Saturday, December 29, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, December 30, on SOS Aloha.

Aloha to Honolulu Hale - Holiday Decorations

Did you know Santa retreats to Honolulu after December 25?    He pulls of his boots (to the right behind him), dips his feet in the water, and enjoys a cocktail from a coconut (to the left in front of Mrs. Claus).

Honolulu Hale (City Hall) is the place for holiday decorations .... 

  

  
.... with Frosty and his family, ready to surf!

Slippahs (flip flops) are the official holiday footwear ...

... and Tutu will give you a lei!   Do you have a holiday display in your town?  One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash.  This giveaway is open to all readers.  Comments are open through Saturday, December 29, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, December 30.
