Hawaii\u2019s \u201cwinter\u201d (if you can really call it that) showers make for breathtaking morning rainbows, clear and bright stretching across the entire horizon. Instead of spending your time off shoveling a driveway, head to Waikiki Beach to take by-the-hour surfing lessons. Don\u2019t feel like getting wet? Hang out on the beach under a complimentary chair and umbrella, with service from Hale Koa Barefoot Beach Bar.<\/p>\n

With so many highly rated tours to choose from, there\u2019s always something to see or experience. Take a peaceful audio tour around Iolani Palace, kept in perfect condition since Hawaii\u2019s monarchy was overthrown in 1893.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Christmas Day itself some businesses may be closed, but be sure to go to one of Honolulu\u2019s famous Luaus Christmas Eve. Hawaiian honey-braised rotisserie pork is not the be overlooked. Eat a Christmas Eve with your family you\u2019ll never forget as you watch a live traditional tribal fire dance show while you eat!<\/p>\n

If a couple\u2019s Christmas is what you\u2019re looking for, a simple drive along the coast is all it takes to find a beach to yourself. Feel your feet sink into the sand and gentle waves caress your ankles as you walk along the beach, and enjoy the view of the sunset. It promises to be breathtaking no matter where you are.<\/p>\n
