ʻO Francis Pharcellus Church, ka mea hoʻoponopono o ka New York Sun, he mea kākau kaua i ka wā o ke Kaua Kivila ʻAmelika.Ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka ʻeha i lawe ʻia mai e ke kaua a ua ʻike ʻo ia i ke ʻano o ka manaʻolana i hoʻopuni ʻia i ka puʻuwai o nā kānaka ma hope o ke kaua.Ua kākau hou ʻo ia iā Virginia ma ke ʻano he hoʻoponopono.

Virginia.
Ua hewa kou mau hoa liʻiliʻi.Ua hāʻule lākou i ka manaʻo kānalua o kēia au paranoid.ʻAʻole lākou manaʻoʻiʻo i ka mea a lākou e ʻike ʻole ai.Manaʻo lākou ʻo ka mea hiki ʻole iā lākou ke noʻonoʻo i loko o kā lākou noʻonoʻo liʻiliʻi, ʻaʻole i loaʻa.
ʻO nā manaʻo a pau, ʻo Virginia, nā mākua a me nā keiki, he liʻiliʻi.Iloko o keia ao nui o kakou, he ilo liilii wale no ke kanaka, a ua like ko kakou naauao me ka naauao i ka ike pono e apo i ka oiaio a me ka ike o ka honua palena ole a puni kakou.ʻAe, ʻo Virginia, aia ʻo Santa Claus, e like me ke aloha, ka lokomaikaʻi a me ke kūpaʻa i kēia ao.Hāʻawi lākou iā ʻoe i ka nani hanohano a me ka hauʻoli i ke ola.

ʻAe!He honua ʻino loa inā ʻaʻole ʻo Santa Claus!Me he mea lā ʻaʻole he keiki maikaʻi e like me ʻoe, ʻaʻohe keiki hewa ʻole o ka manaʻoʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe mele a me nā moʻolelo aloha e hoʻomaha ai i ko mākou ʻeha.ʻO ka hauʻoli wale nō a ke kanaka e ʻono ai, ʻo ia ka mea e ʻike ai me ko lākou mau maka, e hoʻopā me nā lima, a e ʻike me ko lākou kino.
hoʻopā, a ʻike i loko o ke kino.ʻO ka mālamalama i hoʻopiha i ka honua i kona wā kamaliʻi e pau paha.

Mai manaʻoʻiʻo iā Santa Claus!ʻAʻole paha ʻoe e manaʻoʻiʻo hou i nā elves!Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolimalima i kou makuakāne i ka poʻe e kiaʻi i nā kapuahi a pau i ka lā Kalikimaka e hopu iā Santa Claus.

Akā inā ʻaʻole lākou e hopu, he aha ka mea e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai?
ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi ke ʻike iā Santa Claus, akā ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ʻaʻole maoli ʻo Santa Claus.

ʻO ka mea maoli loa o kēia ao ka mea hiki ʻole i nā mākua a me nā keiki ke ʻike.Ua ʻike paha ʻoe i nā elves e hula ana i ka mauʻu?ʻAʻole loa, akā ʻaʻole ia e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole lākou ma laila.ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi ke noʻonoʻo i nā mea kupanaha o kēia ao i ʻike ʻole ʻia a ʻike ʻole ʻia.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke haehae i ke kani o ke keiki a ʻike i ke ʻano o ka nakeke o loko.Akā, aia kahi pale ma waena o mākou a me ka mea i ʻike ʻole ʻia ʻo ke kanaka ikaika loa o ka honua, nā kānaka ikaika a pau i hui pū me ko lākou ikaika a pau, ʻaʻole hiki ke wehe.

ʻO ka manaʻoʻiʻo, ka noʻonoʻo, ka mele, ke aloha, a me ke aloha e hiki ke kōkua iā mākou e wāwahi i kēia pale a ʻike ma hope o ka honua o ka nani hiki ʻole ke haʻi ʻia a me ka ʻālohilohi.

He oiaio anei keia?Ah, Virginia, ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe a mau loa ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.

ʻAʻohe Santa Claus?Mahalo ke Akua, ua ola ʻo ia i kēia manawa, ua ola mau loa.Hookahi tausani makahiki mai keia wa aku, o Vireginia, aole, he umi tausani makahiki mai keia manawa aku, e hoomau ana no oia i ka hookomo ana i ka olioli iloko o na naau o na keiki.

Ma ka lā 21 o Kepakemapa, 1897, ua hoʻopuka ka New York Sun i kēia mea hoʻoponopono ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻehiku, ʻoiai ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia, ua hoʻohuli koke ʻia ka manaʻo a hoʻolaha nui ʻia, a ke paʻa nei i ka moʻolelo no ka hoʻoponopono nūpepa i paʻi hou ʻia ma ka mōʻaukala o ka ʻōlelo Pelekania.

Ma hope o kona ulu ʻana ma ke ʻano he kaikamahine ʻōpio, ua lilo ʻo Paginia i kumu a hāʻawi i kona ola i nā keiki ma ke ʻano he hope poʻokela ma nā kula aupuni ma mua o ka hoʻomaha ʻana.

Ua make ʻo Paginia i ka makahiki 1971 i ka makahiki 81. Ua hoʻouna ʻo New York Times i kahi ʻatikala kūkala kūikawā nona i kapa ʻia ʻo "Santa's Friend," kahi i hoʻolauna ʻia ai: ʻo ia ka mea hoʻoponopono kaulana loa i ka moʻolelo o ka nūpepa ʻAmelika.

Ua ʻōlelo ka New York Times ʻaʻole i pane wale ka mea hoʻoponopono i ka nīnau a ke kaikamahine liʻiliʻi ma ka ʻae ʻana, akā ua wehewehe pū kekahi i ka manaʻo hope loa o ke ola ʻana o nā lā hoʻomaha āpau.ʻO ke kiʻi aloha o nā lā hoʻomaha ka manaʻo o ka maikaʻi a me ka nani, a ʻo ka manaʻoʻiʻo i ke ʻano kumu o nā lā hoʻomaha e ʻae mau iā mākou e loaʻa ka hilinaʻi hohonu i ke aloha.
