We wish you a year of happiness, prosperity, health and peace. Speaking of peace, here's a bit of Hawaiian New Year trivia for you...
Hau'oli Makahiki Hou - Happy New Year. The western Christmas and New Year fell during this same time of the year that the Hawaiians traditionally honored the earth for giving them plenty to eat. This period of resting and feasting was called Makahiki (mah-kah-HEE- kee). It lasted four months, and no wars or conflicts were allowed during this period, because makahiki also means "year". The Hawaiian phrase for "Happy New Year" became "Hau'oli (happy) Makahiki (year) Hou (new)"(how-OH-lee mah-kah-hee-kee ho).
Aloha to lucky number 13!
