As a vacation tradition, my parents keep the kids for one night while the parents enjoy a date night. This year we had the pleasure of having our date night on Christmas Eve. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Tidepools restaurant. We love this restaurant…so romantic.
The view from our table. The restaurant in on a lagoon.
After dinner, we listened to a Hawaiian singer play some Christmas songs on her guitar. She got the audience involved and had us singing 12 Days of Christmas – Hawaiian style. It was really festive. Her version of Silent Night was gorgeous. I was worried that I would not be able to feel the spirit of Christmas in Hawaii. But Christmas Eve for me was filled with the magic and spirit of Christmas. What I treasure most about Christmas time are those moments when the world slows down and I can listen to Christmas music and really contemplate and reflect on the birth and life of the Savior. I definitely had one of those moments this very special Hawaiian Christmas Eve.
