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.
