Aloha and Happy Thanksgiving from the Smith Team!
As the holiday season begins, we find ourselves reflecting on the many things we are grateful for this year. Living on Maui, we are surrounded by natural beauty and a strong sense of community that reminds us daily how fortunate we are. Whether it’s the warm embrace of a golden sunset, the joy of family gatherings, or the simple pleasure of an ocean breeze, Maui offers countless blessings to be thankful for.
This Thanksgiving, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to you—our readers, clients, and friends. Your trust and support inspire us to continue sharing valuable insights about Maui real estate and helping you find your slice of paradise. Whether you’re a lifelong resident, a second-homeowner, or dreaming of making Maui your home, we are honored to be part of your journey.
In this week’s newsletter, we’ll share updates on the latest Maui market trends, showcase some stunning properties, and highlight a few tips for making the most of this special holiday season. From our ohana to yours, we wish you a joyous Thanksgiving filled with love, gratitude, and aloha.
Here are a couple of tips to make this Thanksgiving and holiday season extra special:
1. Embrace Local Traditions: Incorporate the spirit of aloha into your holiday celebrations by including local ingredients and flavors in your meals. Think fresh-caught fish, locally grown sweet potatoes, or a tropical fruit pie featuring Maui’s famous mangoes or coconuts. For decor, use local flowers like plumeria or ti leaves to bring the island’s beauty to your table.
2. Give Back to the Community: This season is the perfect time to spread aloha by supporting local food drives, volunteering with community organizations, or donating to causes that uplift Maui families. Sharing your time or resources not only strengthens our island ohana but also fills the season with deeper meaning and gratitude.
These small gestures can help create lasting memories and bring the true essence of Thanksgiving and the holidays into your celebrations.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
Ken Smith R(S), Melissa Smith R(B), and Gregory P Smith R(B)
