Mele Kalikimaka
Mele Kalikimaka means Merry Christmas in Hawai`ian. I only wish I could be on the islands this Christmas time… here’s why…
- The only snow you see is in a cone shaped cup and covered with syrup.
- Santa arrives on the beach in a canoe.
- Aloha shirts and muumuus are worn to Christmas services.
- Winter clothes are a sweatshirt, a jacket and shorts.
- Little Jimmy and little Mary are little Kimo and little Malia.
- Diamond Head is majestic and green.
- “Silent Night” is played on the ukulele.
- It’s macadamia nut candy instead of fruitcake.
- You leave your slippers and sandals at the door, not your snow boots.
- Fans wear tank tops to the Aloha Bowl game.
- Little boys want a new boogie board instead of a shiny new sled.
- “Big girls” wish for a Hawaiian heirloom bracelet.
- Sushi and passion orange juice are left out for Santa.
- You have to build a fireplace to hang the stockings.
- Families enjoy their Christmas meal at the beach.
- The little angel in the kindergarten play wears a haku instead of a halo.
- “Me ke aloha” (with love) is written on Christmas cards.
So Mele Kalikimaka everyone… Me ke aloha!
