Hawaiian Christmas Songs |
|
It is usually said that the Hawaiian charm is hard to resist. The exuberance and zest that we associate with this island country, is very much evident in their celebration of Christmas . A Hawaiian Christmas is more of a family celebration, as it is the time to “hele on over, make yourself at home,

join the ohana (family) on the lanai.” It is natural that Christmas songs will feature in a major way midst all these festivities, as music is the soul of the Hawaiian life. Here is Christmas Carnivals informing you about Hawaiian Christmas songs.
The most popular of the Hawaiian Christmas song is "Mele Kalikimaka", which reflects the true spirit of Christmas in Hawaii and narrates the story of Christmas in country. Although Bing Crosby recorded the song in the 1950, but it was written in 1940s by a Hawaiian. Since then many singers have remade the song in their own unique styles, but that hapa haole style just seems to fit the spirit best. Here are the lyrics of the song.
Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say "Merry Christmas to you."
