Hawaiian 12 Days of Christmas Version



Have you heard of the Hawaiian 12-days of Christmas version?  I was on-call RN Case Manager for a pediatric trauma unit and saw this "honu" (Hawaiian green sea turtle) displayed at the nurses' station.  After careful examination, I concluded that the "honu" does carry all the 12-days of Hawaiian Christmas!  Can you see them?

Here's how it goes:  
On the first day of Christmas my tutu (lola or grandma in Hawaiian) gave to me, a myna bird in one papaya tree!  
Second day of Christmas:  Two coconuts
Third day:  Three dried squid
Fourth day:  Four Flower leis
Fifth day:  Five big fat pigs
Sixth day:  Hula lessons (oops one of the hula dancers fell!)
Seventh Day: Seven shrimps a swimming
Eight Day: Eight ukuleles
Ninth Day: Nine pounds of poi
Tenth Day:  Ten cans of beer
Eleventh Day:  Eleven missionaries
Twelve Day:  Twelve televisions

You sing with the tune of "Twelve Days of Christmas" American version.
