They start the day with all the younger siblings opening their presents and then everyone gets ready for Christmas mass. This year he plans to spread joy to those in need by heading down with gifts to the children's hospital to surprise all the young kids. Having had such a successful career at the University of Hawaii he has become a local celebrity which the kids will enjoying seeing. After the visit he heads back home to help mama prepare the Christmas feast. His job is to prepare the pig which has been sitting in the Imu the all day cooking away. Uncles and aunties all come over to share in this festive time of year. Since he joined the Grey Ducks and lives in Minnesota he hasn't had good Hawaiian food in a long time. After dinner they play different games and just enjoy each others company. When he was younger his favorite part of Christmas was always opening the presents and hating having to go to mass, but now being older and having moved away he loved being able to see everyone and will cherish these memories that they got to share.
