Christmas Greetings in your Language/Home?
Mele Kalikimaka or Merry Christmas from Hawaii
 Santa & Mrs. Santa in front of Honolulu Hale/City Hall Source: From the Honolulu Advertiser website    Of course, Santa comes on a surf board to Hawaii rather than on a sleigh with reindeer. We also have a diffferent way to say Merry Christmas. It is Mele Kalikimaka. You may have heard our Christmas song. Mele Kalikimaka (Song Lyrics) 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 to shine by day and all the stars at night Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii’s way to say Merry Christmas to you Mele Kalikimaka or Mele Kaliki Maka is a Christmas song sung as a warm greeting from Hawaii. It came from the Hawaiian pronunciation of “Merry Christmas”. Since Hawaiian does not have all English phonemes, in particular the “R” and “S”, “Merry Christmas” becomes “Mele Kalikimaka”. It is a transliteration of “Merry Christmas” and not really a translation of it. The song was written in 1949 by Robert Alex Anderson who is better known to fans of Hawaiian and hapa haole music as R. Alex Anderson. One of the earliest recordings of this song was by Bing Crosby and the Andrew Sisters in 1950. |

German - Ein frohes Weihnachtsfest und alles Gute zum neuen Jahr! - A joyful Christmas (festival) and best wishes for the New Year!
 Ukranian - the traditional Christmas greeting, 'Khristos rodyvsya!' or 'Khristos razhdayetsya' - meaning Christ is born!.

We say Merry Christmas however we are multi cultural so I am sure many different terms are used. As you know it is summer here at christmas time and so we do have the australian version of a christmas carol which I will share..

Usually, it starts something along the lines of, "Child, get in your bed or Santa won't come and you won't get anything for Christmas this year!"
