DESCRIPTION:
We're having a fun-filled Christmas season and we're not missing any of the snowy charms of a traditional winter festival. Kailua is as lovely and pleasant in December as in June, and we're enjoying every minute of it. Of course it's friends that make the fun and we're lucky to have some great ones here.

We do miss our friends back on the mainland, and wish them all the happiest of holiday seasons, but really, folks, 75 and sunny in Kailua or a more traditional cold, blowy, icy, snowy season back there?? Not so bad around the Bay Area, but we have friends and relatives in Colorado and New Jersey and Philadelphia and plenty of other cold places. This one is especially for you!

Thanks to a few YouTubers for the loan of their snowy videos. JoeGuitarGuy http://www.youtube.com/user/JoeGuitarGuy , dondiega http://www.youtube.com/user/dondiega and JCVdude http://www.youtube.com/user/JCVdude graciously granted me permission to include bits of their clips in mine.

I shot the main clip using a Sanyo Xacti HD2000. B-roll shot on a Panasonic Lumix TS-2 waterproof point-and-shoot. Audio recorded using a Sony PCM-D50. All editing in Edius Neo.
