12 days of Christmas – the Heineken tree

The world famous Heineken tree can be found here in Kapolei. Yes, you’re reading that right. I read about it in the paper a few weeks ago, googled the street, and laughed when I saw that it was a short walk from one of Robbie’s favorite playgrounds. I drove through the neighborhood yesterday at noon and snapped these pictures. The homeowners claim each year in January they take down the tree and recycle the bottles, then over the course of the year they throw block parties and more beer is consumed and bottles saved. I don’t care how many people “donate” to the cause - that is a LOT of beer! One night closer to the holidays we’ll probably take a drive over there and check out the street at night. The whole street plus random houses nearby really decorate. The Heineken tree is also lit. (Pun intended.) Cameras and tripod ready and waiting!
