ʻO ka makahiki hou ka haʻina nui nui o ka makahiki, kahi e kali ana nā keiki a pau. Ke holo wikiwiki nei kēlā me kēia pēpē i ka New Year lāʻau i ke kakahiaka, eʻike ana i ka makana i lalo. ʻAʻole i maʻalahi ka kohoʻana i kahi pāʻani ma keʻano he makana no ka makahiki hou. ʻOiai,ʻo ka makanaʻoluʻolu o ka makahiki hou eʻoluʻolu mai kēlā me kēia keiki, akā he aha kāu hana me ka hapa nui o ia mea? Ma hope o nā mea a pau,ʻaʻole iʻike mau nā mākua i nā mea hōʻailona a me nā moemohe huna o kā lākou keiki. ʻO ke keikikāne ke keiki,ʻo ia ka mea maʻalahi e leʻaleʻa iā ia. Nā makana no ka makahiki hou, pono nā keiki e mākaukau maikaʻi ma mua aeʻike pono i ka wā e hōʻoluʻolu loa ia i nā hunahuna.
He aha ka hāʻawiʻana i ke kaikamahine no ka makahiki hou?
No kekahi kaikamahine'ōpiopio o ka makahiki'ōpiopio,ʻo ia ka makana nui loa. A inā ua loaʻa iā ia ka hoaaloha, a laila, e lilo ka hale lehua a me nā mea kōkua. He mea maikaʻi eʻike i ka mea hana, ka papa kī, a me ka hale a pau no kāu pākuʻi punahele ma lalo o ka lāʻau Kalikimaka! E kūkākūkā mua i ka kūʻaiʻana i kekahi makana me nāʻohana. Mahalo nui nā mākua kāne a me nā kaikamāhine i nā kaikamāhineʻinoʻino no nā lā hoʻomaha, e kūʻai ana i nā mea pāʻani aʻaʻole lākou i like me ke kamaliʻi.
Ma waho aʻe o nā pāpani a me nā makana puppet, ua hauʻoli nā kaikamāhine me nā kēna likeʻole no ka hoʻolālā - hiki ke hana i kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni lima, nā hoʻonohonoho no ka kiʻiʻana a me ke kiʻiʻana. I kēia wā, hoʻomaka nā kamaliʻi e kūkulu hale a me nā pāpaku. Hiki iāʻoe keʻoluʻolu i ke keiki me kona hale noho pono'ī.
He aha nā mea e hāʻawi aku i ka makahiki hou i kaʻu kaikamahine ma lalo o ka 14 makahiki? I kēia wā, he mea nui ka hoʻomākaukauʻana i ka wahine i ka wā e hiki mai ana i nā ala a pau a me ka hoʻokomoʻana iā ia i nā mea pili i ka home. E hauʻoli i ke kaikamahine me kahi mea hoʻoponopono keiki. I kēia manawa, aia nā pepeʻi hiki ke penaʻia. Hoʻomaka kēia a me keʻano o ke kohu, a ke ulu nei ka hana o ka mālama iāʻoe iho. E hōʻike i kāu mau mākau akamai no ka mea hana lima: nā kuku no ka hana akamai a me ke kānani. Ināʻoe he wiliwele ma ka home, e noi i ke kaikamahine e hele i ka hale kūʻai no nā mea nani loa a me nā kāhiko e wehe i kahi lole.
Hāʻawi maikaʻiʻia nā makana no ka makahiki hou no nā keiki i piha i ka 14 mau makahiki ma mua. Ma keʻano kūlana, i kēia makahiki,ʻo ka mea hoʻonanea o koʻu makuahine no ka wahine'ōpiopio ka mea i makemake loaʻia. Ma mua o ka hakakā a hoʻohiki, e aho e'ōlelo aku i ke kaikamahine e hele i ka lumi ola maikaʻi a loaʻa i nā meaʻono maikaʻi. ʻO ka bijouterie a me nā mea like me ka mea i makemake ai kāu mea pena.
Nui, inā ua piliʻoe i kāu mea kōkua i ka lumi kuke a ke ho'āʻo neiʻo ia e kuke i kāna mea kanu mua loa. Hāʻawi iā ia i kahi papa kuke a me nā mea nani no ka lumi kuke, no ka mea he laʻana.
He aha kaʻu e hāʻawi aku ai i kaʻu keiki no ka makahiki hou?
Hāʻawā pinepine nā keiki me nā pāʻani hoʻolālā e hoʻolāʻihi a lōʻihi - puʻupuʻu, nā mea hana. No nā'ōpio ke kūpono i nā pāʻani papa kūpono me kāu mau punahele punahele. Pili nā keikikāne i nā mokulele a me nā mea'ē aʻe. No nā keiki'ōpiopio, he mea nui kēia kaʻa a he helikopter paha, akā, no nā keikikāne, e hāʻawiʻia kahi makana maikaʻi i mea hoʻolālā no ke kala.
ʻO nā makana no ka makahiki hou i nā keiki he mea manaʻoʻole a nui. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, i ka manawa e hōʻiliʻiliʻia ai kaʻohana a pau ma ka papaʻaina hoʻokahi, makemake wau e pāʻani i nā pranks a hoʻokomo i ka nānāʻana iaʻu iho. Hiki i ke guitar a i ka pahu ke hoʻokiʻekiʻe maikaʻi i keʻano o kahi kuhumu. Nāna e hana i ke mele - he aha eʻoi aku ka leʻaleʻa!
Hāʻawiʻia nā makana no ka makahiki hou no nā keiki. Eia kekahi laʻana, he kaʻa. Ke hele nei kēlā me kēia keiki i ke kula kaʻa kaʻa, a he mea kūpono loa kona kūʻai.
No nā keiki i piha i piha i ka 14 mau makahiki, uaʻae mākou i kēia makana e like me ke kelepona. ʻO kēia ma mua o ka hikiʻole i kekahi mea ke manaʻo e hiki iā ia ke hāʻawi i kāna kelepona pūnaewele. I kēia lā,ʻo kēia ka mea maʻamau i loko o ke kaiaulu. Ma ke ala, ua lilo ka pōmaikaʻi leʻaleʻa a i kēia manawa i makana maikaʻi loa no ke keikikāne. Ināʻoe eʻike i ke aloha o ke keiki i kekahiʻano o ka lehulehu, e hāʻawi iā ia i nā mea likeʻole no ke keʻena me kona kiʻi: T-shirts, mau maka maka, kelepona, nā mea pāʻani, a me nā leka.
