Christmas in Hawaii
Christmas in Hawaii is a major annual celebration, as in most of the Western world.
==History==
The festival was introduced to Hawaii with the arrival of Protestant missionaries, and is believed to have started after 1820. Most of the traditions they currently celebrate has come from the missionaries. Before the Hawaiians celebrated the Christmas people know today, they had a festival named Makahiki which lasted around four months and in which all wars were forbidden. The season still had the essence of "peace and goodwill to all men", which is another thing people tend to associate with Christmas.〔
The first recorded Christmas in Hawaii was in 1786, when the captain of merchant ship the ''Queen Charlotte'', George Dixon, was docked on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Dixon and his crew celebrated a large Christmas dinner which included a whole roast pig.〔
