'O ka makahiki hou ma Farani.

'O ka makahiki hou mai ka wā kamali'i mai no kēlā kanaka kēia kanaka i ka ho'olaule'a aloha a lō'ihi i ho'omaha'ia. He lā ia o ka lālani Kalikimaka, nā kukui, nā ho'omaha hale, nā mea ho'omana'o maika'i, nā manaolana a me nā kilokilo. Ua kaulana ia ma nā'āina a pau o ke ao nei,'o ka makahiki hou i Farani, Kelemānia, Denmark a me nā'āina'ē a'e he'ano like'ole ia i kā mākou ho'olaule'a. He mea nui ia a ua hele pū me nā ku'i o ke alanui, nā mele mele, nā mele a me nā hula.

Mahalo, pehea e ho'okipa ai lākou i ka makahiki hou i Farani?

'O kēia ma'amau ka inoa Pelekānia i ka lā o St. Sylvester, no ka mea,'o kona lā wale nō e pau ai i ka lā 31 o Kekemapa. Ua ho'okipa nā po'e noho o Palani i ka makahiki hou me ka'ohana a pau, akā'a'ole ma ka home. Ua hoʻoholo ihola e hālāwai Holiday hanohano i loko o ka Hawaii, cafe paha nightclub. Nā puka makani o kēia kulanui pono e pena ia lakou i mau manao, lauana a me ka nani palapalaia maluna penei. I ka'aha'aina o ka'Aina Hou o ka'Aina Hou, ua uhi nā po'e o Farani i nā'ūliki hilina'i, ke hula, ho'olei i ka confetti a me ka serpentine i loko o kekahi me ka ha'alulu.

Ma ka po hōʻuluʻulu oi lama i loko o ka konu o Paris, ma Montmartre, a me ka Champs Elysees. Lawe nā kānaka o ke kūlanakauhale i nā alanui o ko lākou kūlanakauhale, a me ka waiho'ana i ke aniani kimeraina no ka "hau'oli hou", hele e hele wāwae i nā alanui pōkū nani. Hāpai nā Boulevards a me nā alana i kēlā pō me nā po'e e'ae aloha ana i kekahi me ke aloha i ka lā ho'omaha.

'Aʻole hoʻokahi hou makahiki ma Farani hiki ole ke hana me ka lottery. 'O kēia ka punahele punahele a ka Farani, mahalo iā'oe e hiki ai iā'oe ke lanakila i ka moa, ka pua a me ka pua'a.

'O ka pā'ina le'ale'a i kāhiko'ia i ka wā kahiko. Mana'o'ia he hiki i kēia mea kanu ke lawe i ka pōmaika'i. O Palani kona mau kīʻaha makaukau koko sausage, Tureke a ohinuia Oie, i pulehuia puaʻa ka poo, ka papapa maka, peas, chestnuts, walnuts, papapa, mea ala a me nā pōpō palaoa i me ka waiū. Akā,'o ka pā'ina nui loa o ka makahiki hou o ka Farani ka la'i hānai.

'O ka mea ma'amau, no ka mea'ai, ho'omākaukau nā hale hana i ka pōpō a kau i kekahi niho i loko. 'O ka mea loa'a iā ia kahi'āpana a me ka paila momona i loko, ua kapa'ia'o ia he "mō'ī ali'i" a i ka pō pōpō, e ho'olohe pono nā mea a pau iā ia.

No ka makahiki hou i Falani, a me mākou, he mea ma'amau ka hā'awi'ana i nā makana pili li'ili'i i kā lākou mau hoaaloha a me nā pilina. Hiki iā ia ke 'ano ma'alahi, huana, nani, kumu, a'olu'olu paha. No ka la'ana, i ka makahiki 2002,'o ka French, ma hope o ka ho'okumu'ia'ana o ka Euro, e hā'awi aku i kā lākou mau hoaaloha a me ko lākou pilikū a me nā dālā Europa hou, a he 100 frank.

'O ka makahiki hou ma Farani he mea hiki'ole ke no'ono'o'ole a'a'ole'o Santa Claus, akā, eia ka inoa'o Per Noel. 'O kēia mea kilokilo i kekahi pō pumehana e komo mai i kēlā hale kēia hale a waiho i nā makana no nā keiki i nā kāma'a.

'O nā mahina hou, e'ālohilohi ana i nā kukui'ōni'oni'o, kū i kēlā hale i kēia hale a ma nā alanui. Ma kahi kokoke iā lākou e hō'ike pinepine'ia i ka palolo ai'ole nā ki'i lā'au, i kapa'ia he mau leona. Eia hou,'o nā Farani ma ka New Year e kāhiko i ko lākou mau hale me nā pua. Hā'awi lākou i kēlā me kēia ma kahi'āpana nui a nui loa, a kau pono i nā pua ma ka papa'aina. Ma nā'ohana Falani a pau kahi hi'ohi'ona e hō'ike ana i kahi i hānau'ia ai'o Kristo, he māhele ho'i ia o ka New Year's decor.

I ka honua holo'oko'a, ua mana'o'ia he lāhui aloha'o Farani. Eia na'e, ma ka hō'olu'olu o ka New Year, makemake lākou'a'ole e honi i nā mea a pau. Akā, ua'ai lākou a ua'ona i ka poho'ana. 'O ka mea ma'amau,'o nā mea nona nā mea'ona waina a me nā'ele'ele waina, e ho'onani iā ia me ka lanakila a me ka inu'ana no ka hō'ili'ili hou. A me ka waina? Iecaianoaaiiie ma Farani ua i komo palaualelo wale, e hiki noonoo ai i na mea leʻaleʻa alii i loko o ka New Year ka Eve ma keia aina.

Ua ho'ōki ka Farani i ka makahiki hou ma Ianuali 6 wale nō e pili ana i ka hiki mai o ka lā ho'omaha - Baptism.

I kēia manawa, e'ike'oe i kahi e ho'okipa ai i ka makahiki hou ma Farani: hau'oli,'olu'olu, nani a'olu'olu.
