Ma ke ʻano he makuahine hoʻokahi e hānai ana i ʻekolu keiki iā ia iho, ʻaʻole liʻiliʻi kā mākou Kalikimaka i kekahi manawa. Akā ʻoiai ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā mākou ma ke ʻano o ke kālā a i ʻole nā mea waiwai, ua nui ko mākou aloha. Ke hana nei mākou. ʻO mākou, nā keiki a me aʻu, ua manaʻo mau i ka waiwai, pōmaikaʻi. 'Ōlelo mau kaʻu kaikamahine, "ʻAʻole nui kā mākou, akā loaʻa iā mākou nā mea a pau." A ʻo ia ka manaʻo noʻonoʻo i alakaʻi iā mākou i kahi papahana kūikawā i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei i lilo i kuʻuna Kalikimaka no ko mākou ʻohana.
I hoʻokahi makahiki, he mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua aʻo mākou i kahi ʻohana ʻaʻole loaʻa kālā no ka Kalikimaka. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā mākua ʻelua a ua paʻakikī lākou e kau i ka meaʻai ma luna o ka papaʻaina. ʻElua a lāua mau keiki liʻiliʻi a ua pilikia kaʻu mau keiki i ka loaʻa ʻole o nā makana Kalikimaka i kēia poʻe liʻiliʻi.
I kēia manawa, pono ʻoe e hoʻomaopopo ma aneʻi he ʻekolu oʻu puʻuwai palupalu loa o ka honua e noho ana i loko o kaʻu mau keiki. Ua ʻike lākou i ke kūlana a hoʻomaka lākou e hopohopo no ka ʻohana. Ua hopohopo lākou i ka manaʻo o nā mākua no ka mea ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hāʻawi i kā lākou mau keiki i ka Kalikimaka. Ua hopohopo lākou no nā keiki no ka mea ʻaʻole maopopo iā lākou ke kumu i kipa ʻole ai ʻo Santa iā lākou.
No laila, hoʻohui lākou i ko lākou mau poʻo a loaʻa ka hopena. Ua makemake lākou e "hoʻokomo" i ka ʻohana.
Hoʻolālā mākou i nā mea a pau a kūʻai pū mākou. Loaʻa iā mākou nā makana no nā keiki a no nā mākua. Loaʻa iā mākou kekahi mau mea pono a me kekahi mau mea leʻaleʻa. ʻAʻole ia he kumu nui ʻole a mākou e hoʻolilo ai, akā maikaʻi loa. Loaʻa iā mākou kekahi mau kuki Kalikimaka a me nā mea kūikawā ʻē aʻe.
ʻOkiʻi mākou ʻehā i nā makana a hoʻokomo i loko o ʻelua ʻeke nui. A laila lawe mākou iā lākou i kahi o ka makua kāne he hana hapa manawa. ʻO nā mea a pau āu e ʻike ai i loko o nā ʻeke he mau makana i ʻōwili ʻia, a waiho mākou i nā ʻeke me ka mea hoʻokipa. Ua haʻi aku kaʻu keikikāne iā ia, "ʻAʻole ʻoe i ʻike iā mākou." Ua minoʻaka ʻo ia. ʻAʻole ʻike ka ʻohana i ka mea nāna i hāʻawi i nā makana, akā, ua hoʻi mai ka ʻōlelo iā mākou ua hauʻoli nui lākou a mahalo.
Pēlā i hoʻomaka ai kahi kuʻuna.
