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!
