We spent the day driving to east Oahu and stopped to play in the sand at the beach on Kailua Bay. A beautiful day, but an odd Christmas. Back in Waikiki, I expected the beach to be full, but for some reason my mind imagined the shops would be closed and the streets desolate. Not even close! The work of the mighty dollar was in full swing and people were busy shopping, dining, and parking for parties. I have yet to see a Santa in a Hawaiian shirt sitting in an outrigger canoe escorted by dolphins. It's hard to tell it's Christmas. Even though the serene atmosphere I associate with Christmas day is absent, we had a memorable Christmas enjoying our small family together. We built a sand city complete with cave, tunnel, roads, a school, a gas station, and a car wash.
