Malihini Christmas Tree Brightens Honolulu in 1910
A Christmas-tree charity tradition in Honolulu began when American tourists, the Malihini, funded and organized a park celebration for 2,500 children. A 40 foot fir, decorated amid royal palace grounds, drew crowds as Santa and 50 helpers distributed toys and food funded by gifts totaling over 1000 dollars. The event, led by local volunteers, featured dignitary Sanford B. Dole and continued as a citywide holiday tradition celebrating giving over the season.
