Madame Pele, The Hawaiian Volcano Goddess, The Goddess of Fire is vaguely seen in the fiery glow of volcanic eruptions. Her shadowy form which is silhouetted by smoke and ash, drifts with the wind through Hawaiian skies. Her voice is heard echoing through the Ohia tree forests. These are her sacred trees and are first to grow where her lava has covered the earth below. Ohia Lehua blossoms are soft feathery flowers in shades of red and yellow, her favorite colors, the colors of fire and fluid lava. Madame Pele takes on various forms; some seeing her as an ancient old woman with long wispy white hair and dress. Others see her as a beautiful young maiden with thick black hair and a flowing red dress, emulating the lava she controls with her temper. Pele can be violent and strong, showing no mercy to those who anger her. Other times she is merciful, sparing the sacred places and lives she chooses.

Santa Claus goes to Hawaii when the toys are all delivered and the reindeer have been turned out to their winter pasture. With the Christmas rush over, it's time for Santa to go on his much needed vacation. There is no better place than Hawaii's soothing tropical breezes, warm glistening waters and the friendly aloha spirit to bring him back each year.  He spends his days relaxing on the beach, surfing, snorkeling and sunbathing. Refreshing tropical drinks are his favorite way to keep cool.
