Mele Kalikimaka!
Mele Kalikimaka from Hawaii
Happy Holiday season from the land
Of Hula, sunshine, and palm tree,
Beautiful beaches and sand.
Where Santa relaxes in style
After making all the children happy
Where he lays low for a while
On the beach, taking a nappy
Even though we don’t have snow
Nor grow local Christmas trees
Everywhere decorations are aglow
Cookie smells drifting on the breeze
From our little islands across the sea
We send you a Hawaiian flower lei
May this season and all your days be
Full of joy, with a happy Holiday

Back at you Fred , wonderful sentiments .... Mele Kalikimaka !
Thank you WL, hope you have a good one!
Mele Wotsit too Fred! lol.
Thanks orchi! And if you have problems pronouncing Mele Kalikimaka, try these:
Kalanianaole Hwy (one of the major streets going around the island of Oahu)
Humuhumunukunukuapua'a (Hawaii State fish)
Ahh thanks Fred. Just what I needed to know. To ask someone about an Hawaii State fish! heehee.
Mahalo Fred!
Enjoyed listening to Bing Crosby’s Mele Kalikimaka! Beautiful write! Appreciate your good wishes and a Mele Kalikimaka to you also!
Thank you Laura, and the same to you too!
And a sincere MK to you too Fred- does this mean we may not be hearing from you until after the festivities ?
Thank you Michael. Oh, no, I just figured that if I post it now, and if you like the song, you can listen to it a few more times before Christmas.
So pleased you'll be around and certainly I'll be playing the song.
Thank you so much Fred, may your celebrations bring great cheer, happiness and love to you and your loved ones.
Thank you, Andy, and I wish exactly the same to you too!
I return the sentiment, my friend!
Thank you Louis! And thanks for the 'Poetry Is' challenge, I do think it has been more than met, if I may say so!!
I certainly agree. Many thanks for presenting it.
A wonderful Christmas poem, Fred! A very merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Very nicely penned.
Thanks Christina, and the same to you!
