Hawaii Plantation Village Christmas Party

On Wednesday, December 12, 2007, I attended the Hawaii Plantation Village's Christmas Party with my mom as my guest.  In the past I have supported state grant to this important non-profit organization because they preserve and showcase Hawaii plantation lifestyle, an era of many of of Hawaii's first generation immigrants in the late 1800s.

At the Christmas party, many of the attendees lived on the plantation and volunteer for the organization.  Many sang songs, played the ukulele, and made ethnic jokes.  The attendees were diverse made up of Japanese, Chinese, Caucasion, Portuguese, Hawaiian, Filipino, and Puerto Rican.  I am so proud to live in a plae where we share each other's cultures, religions, and traditions.
