Sunbathers, sitting
huddled in the sand.
Lovers barefoot splash,
where waves land.
Sea turtles, lay
baking in the heat.
Wind brings flower's
fragrance; subtle, sweet.
Trades whisper; making
banana leaves rustle.
Everyone is slow paced,
no wiki-wiki, or hustle.
Kick back, relax, and
take off your shoes.
Wiggle your toes in
the sand, and let it ooze.
You won't find a warmer
Christmas, than we have here.
It's blue skies and sunshine,
almost all year.
Next Christmas treat
yourself to an Aloha event...
You won't regret one minute,
or the money spent!

Nice rhyme and imagery... Wish I had the money to spend.

Takes me back many years to a delightful stay in Hawaii. You've captured the essential images nicely, and expressed them with music, rhythm, and compression. Nicely done.

Oooo! Christmas in Hawaii sounds great! We don't get snow here in California, but only the bravest surfers (with drysuits) dare to even approach the ocean this time of year. Actually, even in the summer, the ocean is still pretty frigid. Ack! I think I'm turning into an icicle just thinking about it.

Oh, wonderful imagery for a Christmas in the sun.
