The holidays at my Grandparent’s house in Hawai'i were always the highlight of the season – except of course for Christmas day itself. The whole family would be there. The Christmas tree was a tall Norfolk Island pine, cut from the tree along side the house. It was decorated from top to bottom with loads of ornaments and those “magic” bubbling lights. Grandma would set out a massive Nativity on the dining room buffet – the traditional Madeiran Lapinha . It was layered on a few terraced shelves that were covered with one of her favorite linen table clothes and the stable was always right in the middle with a single star light above the Baby Jesus at the top. The holiday dinner spread included traditional and “modern” dishes … always a treat.
