Xmas abroad can be fun

From pege 37

restaurants close for Christmas
Day and the only available dining
rooms are in hotels. Space is allot-
ted to guests in the hotel first and
whatever is left over to outsiders.

© If you decide to cook and have
the facilities to do a turkey, buy it
immediately on arrival providing
you can store it in the store freezer
until the 24th. We paid for ours
and the butcher tagged it — he had
quite a collection of personalized
birds in his back room.

® 1 was warned about the high
cost of spices in Hawaii so I took
along everything I expected to
need

© Just after we arrived I pinned
a notice on the bulletin board in
the lobby inviting anyone who
might like to share our Christmas

dinner on a pot-luck basis to give
us a call.

Two couples responded and that
made a pleasant evening for us —
all the kids wanted to do was eat
dinner and head down to the
beach.

«One reader contributed
another hint that you might find
useful. She told me that she con-
tacted the local church immediate-
ly upon their arrival.

They were warmly welcomed to
attend not only the Christmas ser-
vice but a carol concert and a pot-
luck dinner.

¢ Get a copy of the iocal news-
paper or newsletter. There are ali
sorts of pageants and concerts thar
the tourist may not hear about but
would enjoy attending.

¢ Something | didn’t think of
and wish I’d done was include in

the Christmas stockings a gift cer-
tificate for each child to be allowed
one five-minute call home to their
best friend. Despite the lure of sun

and sand, each felt a bit left out f

and eventually called anyway.
¢ No matter where you go for

Christmas, there’s plenty of natu- :

ral stuff around for the kids to do
a bit of holiday decorating.

There had been a windstorm just
before we arrived and palm fronds
were everywhere plus all sorts of
shells and flowers.

If your choice of a resort hap-
pens to be a ski complex, let the
kids haul in branches and pine
cones. Your condo may not quali-
fy for ‘‘House Beautiful’’ but the
kids have fun.
