It’s been raining like crazy, which could only mean that winter has finally arrived in Hawaii. Can you believe it’s already December? If you’re like me, you’re slowly getting into the Christmas spirit, but still totally procrastinating on doing your Christmas shopping.

Since the weather has been not so great this week, I suggest doing some lowkey Christmas-y activities this weekend to get into the Christmas spirit!

The Honolulu Advertiser has just posted their TGI Saturday where you can see a listing of Holiday activities/events going on today.

As a past time of mine, I always try to visit Honolulu Hale during Christmas time. Something about seeing a barefoot Santa Claus giving me a shaka is the only way it really hits me that Christmas is coming.

Also! Starting Monday, the Polynesian Cultural Center will be doing Christmas in Polynesia. The PCC Canoe Ride is back (hopefully without Lady Laie) and this year’s theme is entitled: A Gift for Sadie: Christmas Through the Eyes of a Child. It sounds really cute. Riders are transported right to the nativity scene as Sadie’s mother narrates the Christmas story to her daughter. Weather permitting, I think this would be a really creative Christmas activity for everyone.

Christmas in Polynesia runs from December 15 to 22 (closed Sunday)- 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for children. Although, I heard you get $2 off the price if you purchase your tickets in advance from your local 7-11.
