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
Cherry Beach Sunset is the perfect doll for the theme “living on a tropical island.” As I was putting the picture together, the phrase Mele Kalikimaka started running through my mind. The song was written in 1949 by Robert Alexander Andersen. Have you heard of it before? I must have heard it when I spent Christmas in Honolulu once when I was in college. My parents had moved there for my father’s job, so I had a great Christmas break, and returned to school with a head-turning tan!
