Thinking of what to do on Maui on New Years’ Eve?.  It used to be that there are many extravagant fireworks display available to choose from (hotels, Wailuku Memorial, etc), but since the recession hits, there are very few, almost none. Thankfully, my bloggy friends @SheilaBeal at @GoVisitHawaii and @jenrusso @anuheayagi @MauiTime complied some activities available, especially to those who are visiting.  Please click here for the Go Visit Maui link and click here for the Maui Time link. Now you many events to choose from. In addition, Honolulu Magazine also listed various options for the New Year celebration on Maui. Click here to go there. Happy New Year to All! Be Safe. And a friendly reminder: Don’t drink and drive.  Have a prosperous New Year

How was your Christmas 2010? Ours was quite and nice.  We celebrated Christmas at home with only the 4 of us – our family.  Our extended families are all far away (Connecticut and Philippines).  Tomorrow we will have our annual “day after Christmas get-together with friends” – we decided to do this because we found out that when we invite friends over to our house on Christmas day, they are not available because they are doing their own “family get together” with their extended families.  Below are some photos taken today.  I am hoping all of you had a wonderful Christmas Day as well.

So how was your Christmas Day? What did you do? Looking forward to hearing from you.  By the way, the photos above are my “Weekly Winners” entries.  For more weekly winners participants, visit Lotus’ blog here.
