ʻO ka leka uila he meaʻoluʻolu loa ia i kahi makana, kahi manawa e kākau ai i kou mau manaʻo ma ka pepa a pēlā e mālama ai iā lākou no nā makahiki ma hope aku. ʻO kaʻoi aku o ka hoihoi, ināʻoe e hana i nā kāleka Kalikiano mua me kou lima pono'ī. E hauʻoli loa kou mau hoaaloha a me kou pilikū i ka loaʻaʻana o kahi makana o kouʻuhane, i hoʻokomo i ka hanaʻana i kahi kāleka o ka New Year.
Nā manaʻo no nā kāleka o ka New Year
ʻO ka hōʻailona nui loa o ka hoʻokipaʻana i ka New Year he,ʻoiaʻiʻo, he lāʻau Kalikimaka. Hiki ke hana i kahi kāleka me ka herringbone mai ka pepa kala, a hiki paha ke hanaʻia e kekahi keiki liʻiliʻi. E lawe i kahi pepa keʻokeʻo, eʻoki i kahi pepa o ka pepa i makemakeʻia a e hoʻokomo i ka hapa. He blanka kēia no ka hoʻounaʻana ma hope. Hiki keʻokoʻa loa nā hana hou. ʻO ka mua, ua like ia me ka lāʻau Kalikimaka i hanaʻia i pepa, i kāhikoʻia me nā'ōmole o nāʻanoʻokoʻa a me nāʻano nui. Ma lalo o ke kumulāʻau Kalikimaka, hiki iāʻoe ke popo i nā'āpana-makana. E hele i kahi lāʻau momona inā eʻokiʻokiʻoe i nā pepa'omaʻomaʻo o nā lōʻihi likeʻole, a laila e kāpili i kēlā me kēiaʻaoʻao, e hoʻomaka me kahi'āpana'āpana liʻiliʻi, i kēlā me kēia manawa e hoʻonui i ka lōʻihi o ke kau.
ʻO kekahiʻano kūlana'ē aʻe,ʻo ia keʻeli i ka hua'ōleloʻekolu o ka pepa'omaʻomaʻo me kaʻaelike, a laila weheʻia a kāpiliʻia, akā me ke akahai, i mea e mālama ai i ka hua o ka hopena Kalikimaka.
Hiki i nā pākī Hōʻa Hou Hōʻeuʻeu ke maʻalahi i ka hana, akā,ʻaʻole i liʻiliʻi. E kūʻai aku i kekahi mau pepa o nā pepa kāwili pepa, e like me ka hoʻolālā o ka makahiki hou. Eʻokiʻoki i nā'ōpili o nāʻano likeʻole a me nā'āpana a me nā'āpana. E hiki ana i ke keiki ke hoʻohui, kahi e lilo ai nā'ōpili i mau pōleʻele Kalikimaka noʻe, aʻo nā'āpana a me nā'āpana e lilo i mauna o nā makana. Ponoʻoe e hoʻopau i ka lālā kōkuhi, kahi e paʻi ai nā pōpō a kōkua e kāhiko i nā makana me nā kakaka a me nā pēpē.
Ke nānā aku nei i ka hōʻailona o ka makahiki hou e hiki mai nei, hiki iāʻoe ke hana i nā kāki'āina hou me ka makahiki o ka snake. Hiki ke kiʻiʻia ka hōʻailona o ka makahiki, eʻokiʻokiʻia mai ka pepa a paʻiʻia, i ulanaʻia, i'ōleloʻia mai nā pole. I ka makahiki 2013, e lilo ka Snake iʻeleʻele a me ka wai, no laila mai makaʻu e hāʻawi i ka hopena "mā". Hiki ke hanaʻia ka snake i nā'ōpiliʻeleʻele a iʻole nā sequins, e hoʻohana i ka pepaʻeleʻele velvet a iʻole nā pēpē me ka'ū. Ke hanaʻoe i nā leka uila me kou mau lima pono'ī, ua maikaʻi nā mea a pau, mai makaʻuʻoe e hoʻokolohua i nā mea pono a me nā ulana, nā leʻolohi a me nā hui likeʻole.
Hiki i nā mea hōʻoluʻolu liʻiliʻi ke komo i ka hana. E kaha i ka "paea", a laila e hana i ka manamana lima o ke pēpē me kona mau hili nani ma nāʻanoʻokoʻa. ʻO ka hōʻailona o kēlā makahiki hou ka mea e hōʻoiaʻiʻo i nā kupunawahine.
Pehea e hana ai i kahi kāle Kalikimakaʻoluʻolu?
ʻO ka pepa palapala kiʻi Volumetric e pono ai i ka mākaukau a me ka manawa, akā, ma keʻano nui,ʻaʻole lākou i pili i kahiʻano kūʻokoʻa. ʻO ka laina lalo ke kāpili i ka noi ma kaʻaoʻao mua o ka palapala palapala e hiki mai ana, akā i loko. ʻO kekahi laʻana, he mau'āpana'āpana'ōmaʻomaʻo lahilahi,'āwili pāpili, ponoʻoe e kāpili i nāʻaoʻao likeʻole o nā kāleka me nāʻaoʻao pokole, a laila iāʻoe e wehe ai, loaʻa iāʻoe kahi lāʻau Kalikimakaʻano'ē.
Aia kekahiʻoihana koigami paha, e hiki ke hanaʻia nā pepa hana pepa ma loko o ka pepa palapala a ma waho. No ka poʻe pāʻani o nā limaʻokoʻaʻole, heʻano maʻalahi ka "folks folding" i keʻano, aʻo ka inoa paha e hiki ke unuhiʻia e like me "ke ānuenue anuenue". ʻO ke kumu o keʻano hana,ʻo ia ke uhi i nā pepa i kekahi o kekahi kaʻina, a ma muli o ka hopena, ua loaʻa ka hopena kūikawā o ka loaʻa o ke koko.
ʻO nā kāleka hou o ka makahiki hou i hanaʻia e ka mea nāna iho e lilo i makana mua a me ka waiwai nui, no ka mea, i loko o kēlā a me kēia o lākou e hoʻopaʻaʻia kahi hapa o kouʻuhane.
