Eia kekahi laʻana, ma Kelemānia , ua manaʻoʻiaʻo kahi Santa Claus e kali lōʻihi nei i nā keiki Helemania ma luna o ka hoki.

Ua lawe maiʻoʻEnelani i ka honua i keʻano o ka hāʻawiʻana i nā leka kāleka me ka mahalo i ka New Year.

No ke kumu hoʻokahi, ua makemakeʻo Sudan e kokoke i ka muliwai nui ma ka mahina o ka makahiki hou. I ka Latin America,ʻo ka makahiki hou ka wela, no laila nā kānaka ma Brazil, Argentina a me nā'āina'ē aʻe o ka'āina e hoʻokipa i ka hanana me ka'ōlohelohe: i loko o ka puahiohio o ka hulu, kaʻulu a me ke kapa.
