Gregory HarbottleThe 12 Days of Christmas
We’d like to switch it up a little with something unique for the December edition of the monthly newsletter. Last year, we brought you our take on Clement Moore’s “Twas’ The Night before Christmas” according to the Harbottle Hale. This year, we give you the Ka’anapali Luxury Living version of the “12 Days of Christmas.” We hope it brings you a smile this holiday season, enjoy!
Aloha, Greg & Leah
