Merry Christmas Kainga! How do you say Merry Christmas in your language? Also do you have any Christmas traditions?

"Merry Christmas from Tonga, Nonny!~"

"In Tongan we say 'Kilisimasi Fiefia' there's also a longer more formal one as well, 'Ofa ke mou ma'u ha Kilisimasi Fiefia mo ha Ta'u Fo'ou monū'ia' meaning; Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!"

"As for traditions, our Holiday season starts on November 4th, which is Tonga Day and ends on January 1st to welcome in the New Year! Since it's summer and December here, it's the prime time for Whale watching as we're famous for out guided Whale and Dolphin tours and swims due to them loving our warm climate. Very popular with tourists and I always give them a visit each year."

"Those are just my silly little traditions however, on a boarder spectrum we have loads of Christmas traditions here. Any tree will work for Christmas decorating, we often use Olive and even Palm trees in households, mostly decorated with paper and flax chains. Gift giving is also a little different, traditionally the women prepare Tapa cloths or mats called Ngatu and give it to their brothers and then the brothers would prepare a Tokonaki or raw food like meats to give to their sisters. Unlike most Western cultures, we more so gift exchange than give, it gives everyone a fair opportunity to get something from their relatives."

"However, my all time favorite tradition is called Tutukupakanava. Our version of the usual Christmas lights, in where coconut husks are used and lined along the beach to be lit with fire. Tutukupakanava is celebrated between either large extended families or communities of people at a time, accompained by a feast of Tongan Christmas foods including Ufi, Roast Pig, Sweet Potato (kumala), taro and various kinds of seafood. Families light a torch and children play with sparklers around the bonfire. It's truly such a lovely tradition to attend each year with it's meaning so deeply rooted in our culture."

"If you're lucky nonny, you might catch a Siva Afi, a traditional Tongan fire dancer, preforming on a nearby beach often with crowds of locals and tourists alike. They give the most spectular and breath taking shows."

You’ve been busy today, haven’t you, little shadow? It’s always good to work with your hands. Dexterity is important, whether you’re loosing arrows or braiding shell necklaces. And, you are going to share some of that pineapple with me, aren’t you, Toniki? I do love a nice ripe pineapple.

Storage Containers now available from The Shipping Container Co, delivering to locations in the Midwest and Northwest United States

01, August 2017: For those looking for extra space to put their household items, help is at hand. Seattle and Dallas-based storage container company, The Shipping Container Co, is now offering shipping container delivery to locations in the Midwest and Northwest United States at an affordable price. The company claims that its customers receive a unique service, thanks to its core goals. One of its core goals is transparent pricing. This, the firm says, makes the ordering process upfront and straightforward. Customers simply select the size and the grade of the container they want, add it to their cart, punch in their Zip Code and immediately get a quote. In contrast to other storage container companies, Shipping Container Co customers do not receive sales calls and do not have to submit personal information to the firm's website to get an instant quote on pricing and delivery. Residents of the Midwest and the Northwest United States can also look forward to receiving regular updates on the progress of their storage container deliveries. These updates include the status of their order, the delivery date and the time window in which they can expect their container to arrive. Customers who do order containers are advised to ensure that that they read “Preparing for the Delivery of Your Shipping Container” on the company’s website or call should they have any special delivery requirements. As part of its high-quality service, the company inspects every container it ships before loading it onto its trailers to make sure that it is in good condition, explicitly checking that there are no leaks and no problems with the floors, doors or locks. Before ordering, customers have a choice of different sizes and grades of container depending on their needs. Containers are priced between $1,800 and $6,500, based on their size and quality, but the company warns that these prices do not include the cost of delivery, which is calculated based on delivery location. However, every customer can get a quote for a container, including the cost of delivery, from their website instantly. The Shipping Container Co currently delivers in a 350-mile radius of several major cities throughout the Midwestern and Northwestern United States, including Seattle, Dallas, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Omaha, Denver and Salt Lake City. The company buys shipping containers on the open market and grades them according to its strict criteria. New containers are called one-trip containers and carry the highest price tags. Cargo worthy containers are cheaper, second-hand containers that have been surveyed and certified as ocean-going by a cargo surveyor. Finally, wind/water tight containers are those deemed by the company to be water and wind tight but have not been surveyed by a cargo surveyor. Those wishing to get a quote or find out more about the company’s services should visit its website at https://shippingcontainerco.com. Alternatively, use the contact details below to contact a representative from the firm.

The Shipping Container Co is now delivering shipping containers to the Seattle Metro area and within 350 miles

29, July 2017: The Shipping Container Co, a company that specializes in shipping containers, has announced that it is now delivering containers to customers in the Seattle Metro area and within a 350-mile radius of the city on the US Western seaboard. The company, which operates in both Seattle and Dallas, says that all containers can be delivered by road to customer addresses within 4 to 7 working days. All customers are required to do, they say, is pick the size and condition of the container they want, enter their zip code into the company’s website and then instantly get a quote for the job. The Shipping Container Co began with the aim of improving shipping container delivery services throughout the US. The founders of the company wanted to provide people with quality shipping containers which all conformed to a standard grading system. By splitting their containers up into three groups - cargo worthy, wind/water tight and one-trip - The Shipping Container Co hopes to offer customers increased choice. Using the company's grading system, customers pick the quality of shipping container they require for their purposes without having to pay additional costs. The company’s strategy for its latest expansion beyond the Seattle Metro area is to offer customers transparent pricing. Although the company offers used shipping containers, it hopes to attract customers by segmenting its market by container type and giving customers pricing information immediately. Unlike some of its competitors, The Shipping Container Co does not require its customers to fill out quotes or speak to sales people to make their order. Instead, pricing information is available directly through the company’s website. Although the company is expanding its delivery area outside of Seattle, it hopes to keep delivery times short. It believes that customers should not have to wait weeks to receive their containers. It has developed a system where deliveries are scheduled quickly and ensures that clients are kept up to date with the progress of their order. The new service is important because it will allow those living outside of the major metro area to get shipping containers delivered to their premises. With the large rural population in Washington State and beyond, this should help The Shipping Container Co expand its reach to the surrounding communities and grow its business. Currently, the prices for shipping containers range from $2690 to $6170, with lower prices for wind/water tight containers and higher prices for one-trip containers. The company also offers containers in different sizes, depending on the needs of customers. Customers can order standard 8 feet by 20 feet and 8 feet by 40 feet containers, as well as 8 feet by 40 feet "high cube." Regular deliveries are made to Mount Vernon, Port Angeles, Bellingham, Portland OR, Yakima, Wenatchee, Moses Lake, Salem OR, Kennewick, Corvallis OR, Eugene, Spokane, Pullman, Bend OR, Lewiston ID, and Roseburg OR. Those who are interested in having containers delivered to their location should go on the company’s website at https://shippingcontainerco.com/ and select the type of container they need to get a quote. Alternatively, they can use the contact information provided below.
