Mele Kalikimaka (Jimmy Buffett)
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 will shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele kalikimaka is Hawaii’s way to say merry christmas to you

Gee, that's an old one.
MW, you need some Hawaiian friends. They'll help you. After you learn to pronouce their names, you're all set! After learning to pronounce Mekuakane, Kamehameha was easy....just kind of trips off the tongue.

I love this song! But I didn't think Jimmy wrote it...no? I know Bing Crosby did an edition that can be heard in "Christmas Vacation" anyway.

He didn't write it, but it appears on his Christmas Island CD.

Or at least a Hawaiian restaurant which sells tasty Kahlua pig and other yummy food. Gets you in the mood for a Hawaiian anything.

Believe me, I have enough to contend with up here with Native/French amalgamations like
Passadumkeag
Madawaska
Calais (not like you think)
Machias (not like you think)
