As Thanksgiving draws near every November, I vow that I&#8217;ll finish the family Christmas newsletter before the after-Christmas sales have begun. I promise myself I&#8217;ll have all the gifts chosen and beautifully wrapped (that means there&#8217;s a bow on each one) before Christmas Eve. And I pledge that this year I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Although it has a European pedigree, the ukulele has been adopted wholeheartedly by Hawaiians&#8212;so any trip to this island paradise wouldn’t be complete without plenty of ukulele-centric activities&#8212;at least that’s how I look at it!
Ukulele experiences abounded during our November 2008 trip to the island that’s most appropriately called “The Big Island.” While it’s certainly [...]]]></description>
