HoodAvie, the visionary and creator of Mahalo Christmas Village has shared the following about this special holiday community.

“This is our home away from home, and we?ve traded in our flipflops for snow boots! Also, the name itself holds an important meaning. “Mahalo” in Hawaiian is an expression of gratitude, thanks, or appreciation. It’s a beautiful word that reflects the spirit of appreciation and encapsulates the essence of our community. We express gratitude for the variety of experiences, for the unique contributions each member brings. Mahalo Christmas Village is welcoming to everyone and inclusive of all holiday celebrations.
Our community is a mosaic of talents and passions. Event hosts orchestrate gatherings, questers embark on journeys, writers craft tales, designers shape dreams, shoppers seek treasures, and builders create our village ? each contributing to the vibrant atmosphere. Despite our diverse pursuits, there’s a common thread that binds us ? a shared promise of a future here together. Mahalo is more than just a neighborhood; it’s a collective of individuals who sincerely appreciate and support one another, from angels to trolls and all in between.
Mahalo Christmas Village is unique among the holiday communities in that every structure is a brushstroke, collectively painting a scene reminiscent of a classic Christmas Village. Each contribution adds its own touch of holiday creativity, harmonizing with others to form a cohesive tapestry. Winding winter streets adorned with lush green trees, cheerful snowmen, fluffy snowdrifts, and a symphony of Christmas lights. It’s more than a collection of builds, the congruity brings the magic of a holiday movie set to life, where individuality blends seamlessly into a festive and peaceful home for every friend, visitor, and villager.”
