MELE KALIKIMAKA IS THE HAWAIIAN WORD THAT MEANS MERRY CHRISTMAS. SINCE THE MISSIONARIES THAT ARRIVED IN HAWAII IN 1820 WERE THE FIRST TO INTRODUCE CHRISTMAS TO THE HAWAIIANS. MERRY CHRISTMAS WAS DIFFICULT FOR THE HAWAIIANS TO PRONOUNCE, MELE KALIKIMAKA ROLLED MORE EASILY OFF THEIR TONGUES.
IN 1950, BING CROSBY & THE ANDREW SISTERS TURNED IT INTO A HIT SONG.
