MELE KALIKIMAKA! (Merry Christmas)

FredPeyer



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

        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)

            And a sincere MK to you too Fred- does this mean we may not be hearing from you until after the festivities ?

            • FredPeyer

              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.

              • Michael Edwards

                So pleased you'll be around and certainly I'll be playing the song.
