Christmas in the South Pacific (part 2)

Now that hopefully you are hidden from the cold somewhere up there, hunkered down with the family against the rage of old man winter, let’s set the proper Christmas tone for down here.  It may be freezing where you are but here in the Southern Hemisphere, it just happens to be the peak of summer.  Christmas is bit more of 4th of July picnic and cold beers than hot coco time around the family hearth.   It leads to situations that can are very unusual to our Northern hemisphere Christmas expectations.

 

 

Oh, and these people have never eaten pumpkin pie (much less Key Lime pie).  Seriously, how do they live?

 

And as a final Christmas treat for you all, my favorite video of the previous entry: the out takes.  You’d be surprised how much goes on when you’re trying to record Christmas songs.

 

 

Stay warm!  We are 😉

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas everyone!

Wanting to share a little of our tropical Tiki-lounge style of Jesus day with you, Tiffany and I whipped out the ukuleles and played some classic Christmas carols.

PS:  In case you are wondering, Tiffany is playing a Polynesian ukulele, which obviously we got in Polynesia.  I am playing a Hawaiian ukulele, which not so obviously, we got in Florida.  They are both different instruments and are supposed to have those separate sounds.  More on that later, for now, enjoy the music:

Santa Claus is coming to town

Jingle Bells:

Jingle Bell rock:

We Wish You a Merry Christmas

PPS: In case you were wondering why we picked those songs, well, they were the easy ones.  😉

Thanks for sharing in our adventures and we pray your homes are at least aglow with the season if not with the actual sunshine.  Here’s to a tropical Christmas!
