Hawaiian Christmas: Twisted Like a Candy Cane

I don't think that Hawaii quite knows what to do with Christmas. They kind of want to interpret it in there own way, but not really. For example, I was by a private elementary school today in the town of Lahaina, and could see inside the cafeteria. Hanging from the ceiling were hundreds of paper cut-out snow flakes. I have two problems with this situation. First, the cellulose blizzard resulting from a strong gust of wind would be a hemophiliac's nightmare. Second, why the hell are your wasting these kids' lives cutting out replicas of precipitation that they are lucky enough to never see. For them, there is no connection between snow and Christmas. The kicker is that everyone knows it. The picture above shows a Christmas display with Santa in a canoe pulled by dolphins! ( Rudoph dolphin, clearly missing, I am assuming he got caught in a tuna net back in the '70s.) In fact, the Santa isn't even white. He is a weird Polynesian-Japanese blend which is just wrong. Where do these people get off presenting a non-European, non-white person as being selflessly generous. Then how are all the older, white child molesters going to lure youngsters into their van unless we tell them that small elf-like boys hanging around gift-bearing men is OK. Seriously.
