On a warmer note, today hit the mid 70s. My friend and I tossed our boards and towels in the car and headed off to the South side where we hit up a popular surf spot called Canoes. Surf reports forecasted a nice 4-6 feet with low tide! Unusual to have during the winter as the waves usually are on the North side in the winter (there will be 40-50 ft waves this Monday!). But there was a little bump nonetheless and we enjoyed it with lots of strong sets, white water, and fun! So much that we were out there for about two and a half hours. I can already feel the pain my body will be in tomorrow, but well worth it!

Physical activity leads to food and off we went to a nearby popular local Korean plate lunch place called Gina's. It's one of my favorite places one because the food is good and two because the people who work there know how to treat their customers well as friends. Today I ordered their chicken katsu and meat jun plate to take home for the family. Their portions are generous with your choice of four sides along with your order. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get.

After dinner, my dad and I spent some quality time at Honolulu's annual tree lighting ceremony and parade held at city hall. I had not been since I was a little girl and was glad to see the festivities. It was crowded with many lights, music, food, and people, all getting into the Christmas spirit!
Santa and Mrs.Claus Hawaiian style!
