A holiday episode of "Hawaii Five-0" next week includes Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim) taken hostage by McGarrett's father's murderer. So much for the holiday spirit.

The locations I sussed out are:

• Big Santa stands atop the parking structure of Ala Moana Center.
• The Christmas tree stands before the Royal Hawaiian Center.
• Chin Ho is held hostage next to Five-0 HQ, aka Aliiolani Hale. That cream-colored, 3-story building in the scene is the post office next door.

Which led me to beg the question, No Shaka Santa? We'll find out when the full episode airs on Monday. See you then, Scene Spotters!
