It definitely wasn't my traditional Christmas.
For starters I was wearing a bathing suit and t-shirt. As humbug and anti-holidays as I felt this year (spending my first Christmas in 23 years away from home) , the day ended up surprising me. I had a wonderful relaxed day with extended ohana and spent a few hours stand up paddling to get my appetite roaring for a big Christmas dinner.
Christmas Eve run around Ala Moana Beach Park.
I took the hat off before we paddled out- which turned out to be the right idea because I took a few humbling falls while we were out there. Twas a Merry Christmas indeed though- I came back with no reef injuries or wana in the toes ;)
