I'm Home with my family now in Philippines, But here my Christmas gift for you from the Hawaiian Islands.
Do you know how to wish someone a merry Christmas in the Hawaii? You say, “Mele Kalikimaka.”
The Hawaiians had difficulty pronouncing Merry Christmas, and so came up with a phonetic translation that rolled more easily off their tongues: MEL-lay KAH-lee-KEY-mah-kah.
The easiest way to learn how to say Mele Kalikimaka is to listen to Bing Crosby sing this classic song from his White Christmas album. Click this link to see a video of Hawaii scenes set to the famous song, Mele Kalikimaka. Soon you’ll be singing right along and Mele Kalikimaka will roll right off your tong....
