We were listening to Bing's Christmas album last evening. I got it for my mom for Christmas when I was a senior in H.S. I was the only person in school who knew all the words to Mele Kalikimaka! Uh, I was the only person in school who even knew there was such a song! NERD ALERT!!!
As I scrolled down and saw the record of Santa's Gone Hawaiian I was excited to just be reminded of Kanaka's Christmas. THEN you had a link to the recording!!. I am a kid again- listening, raptly, to Lucky Luck-long ago in our Hawaiian Christmases. Everything was good. and those years were filled with a particular Hawaiian magic. no huu huu. mo' bedda da kin' We really were children and our eyes really did shine. thanks I really enjoyed this Christmas gift.

I think we need to go down to the Marketplace and watch J. Akuhead Pupule to celebrate. Isn't that where all the celebrations ended up? Somewhere near the banyon tree? Raise a glass sistuh! Mele Kalikimaka! And here's to Peter in the manger. Stalwart prop that he was.
Beautiful, Merry Christmas.
