All ʻŌlelo of the Week

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I love Christmas for a multitude of reasons, but one of my favorite parts is the exchanging of gifts with family and friends. Nothing beats spreading Christmas cheer and seeing the smiles on their faces as they unwrap their presents.”

—Janica Marie Pascua, Office of Communications, University of Hawaiʻi System
