'Ohana Christmas Pa'ina


Looking forward to our 'Ohana Christmas Pa'ina planned at the Schilling Ballroom Sat. Dec 22 from 3pm-8pm. Games, White Elephant, & Potluck.  Great for all the 'ohana to get together wala'au (talk stories), kau kau (eat), hula, and kanikapila (play music). Hoping you all can make it.  Please email/post number of keiki so we can plan for games and please bring a wrapped gift for each keiki (max $10)...Aloha no!

Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas)
Words & music by R. Alex Anderson

Jingle bells upon a steel guitar
Through the palms we see the same bright star
 
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 Hawaiʻi's way
To say Merrry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas
To say Merry Christmas to you
