(http://www.honoluasurf.com/) had a cool t-shirt for sale - a Hawaiian-style Christmas tree, with "Mele Kalikimaka" below it, and "Hau’oli Makahiki Hou" on the side (Hawaiian for happy new year). Unfortunately, I don't see it for sale on their website. :( But something to look out for, for those who will be around. I wish Bing Crosby wrote a song for "Hau’oli Makahiki Hou" as well - I have a hard time saying it! When I was in Maui last month, Honolua Surf Co.
