If you’re visiting Oahu this month for the holidays there are a lot of events happening on the island to choose from! The island gets festive, with Santa switching out the red suit for Hawaiian shirt, making sandmen rather than snowmen and decorating palm trees instead of Christmas trees! 

Here are some activities to check out, including the famous surfing annual competitions in the North Shore!
