Dedicated to those special people who celebrate the holidays with such a tropical flair.
The Christmas traditions of Hawaii are a labor of love and creativity. Hawaiians import their Xmas trees long before the season arrives from across the Pacific Ocean. They look for the best grand firs, noble, and other popular varieties of fir or pine. Many grow their own trees in their backyard. More creative Hawaiians create Xmas trees by decorating the Palm trees for outdoor displays and they substitute Santa Clauss sleigh and reindeers with an outrigger canoe and dolphins. Before the arrival of Christianity, the forerunner to the Christmas traditions of Hawaii is the four-month New Year celebration of rest and feast to honor the earth called Makahiki. This period was Christianized into Christmas but retained Hawaiian flavors of candy, fruitcake, sushi, lumpia, tamales alongside turkey and roasted pork.
Mele Kalikimaka me ka Hauʻoli Makahiki Hou! (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!)

I spent 3 Christmas's in Hawaii, 1959-61.I really liked it, no snow, but it was fine. We wore short sleeved "loud" shirts and scooters for shoes and walked the beach.
I (the band) once played for the Mayor's Birthday party held at a large theater. Sure beats the Eastern Shore of MD.

Every time I hear this song, I think of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, one of my favorite holiday movies!
