No ka mea,ʻo kaʻu mea hana aloha a me ka alakaʻi alakaʻi no Kristiano,ʻo Mary Fairchild, keʻike nei,ʻaʻole mākou iʻike i ka nui o nā mea e pili ana i ka Magi (ʻaʻole ia heʻano kilokilo kilokilo, akā, he manawa nui no nā poʻe kilokilo, nā kilo, a me nā mea hanohano). I ko lākou hiʻohiʻona hoʻokahi i ka Euanelio a Mataio,ʻaʻole lākou i kapa inoaʻia, a he huahekili mai "hikina." (ʻO nā inoa a mākou iʻike ai iā lākou - - Gaspar, Melchior, a me Baltaza - ua hāʻawiʻia aku iā lākou i ka manawa ma hope aku.)ʻO ka mea i kaulana loa iā lākou,ʻo ia nō, hele mai lākou e lawe i nā makana: ke gula, frankincense, a me ka mura.
I ka pō i hānauʻia aiʻo Kristo, ua hukiʻiaʻo ia e kekahi "mālamalamaʻikeʻole" i lilo i hōkū i kauʻia ma ke kai komohana. Ua hahai aku lākou i kēia hōʻailona i Betelehema, kahi i hōʻea ai lākou (kahi pōkole) e hoʻohanohano i ka hānauʻana o Kristo. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo "12 mau lā o ka Mele Kalikimaka," kahi i manaʻo pinepineʻia e pau i ka lā 25 o Kekemapa, hoʻomaka maoli ia i ka 25 a hiki i ka lā 6 o Ianuali, e hoʻopau ana me kaʻahaʻaina o'Epiphany, aʻo ka "Hoʻohanohano o nā Magi."

E hōʻiliʻili ana hoʻi nā keiki i ka mauʻu, ka mauʻu a me nā'ōpala i loko o nā pahu kāmaʻa no nā lio a me nā kāmelo o Magi - ʻO kahi hoʻololi'ē aʻe i nā kuki a me ka waiū no Santa. (Ma keʻano, eʻikeʻoe i nā kiʻi kālaiʻia a me nā hana a nā aliʻiʻekolu ma luna o nā lio ma mua o nā kāmelo,ʻoiai no ka meaʻaʻoleʻike ka'āina kahiko i ke kamela.)
Ua uku maikaʻiʻia nā keiki maikaʻi me nā makana a me ka candy, oiai nā keikiʻino i hoʻopau i ka lanahu a iʻole lepo paha (e nīnau ana i ka nīnau: Pehea ka hewa e pono ai e lilo i lepo no ke Kalikimaka?)
