" Hau'oli Makahiki Hou " ( means Happy New Year in Hawaiian )

DURING MAKHIKI, THE FOUR MONTHS OF PEACE AND HAPPINESS,
              IS THE SAME TIME THE WESTERN NEW YEAR FALLS.
                  "HAU'OLI  MAKAHIKI HOU" ( HAPPY NEW YEAR)
    HAU'OLI MEANS "HAPPY".   MAKHIKI,  ALSO KNOWN AS "YEAR".

"Mele Kalikimaka" ( Merry Christmas in Hawaiian )

MELE KALIKIMAKA IS THE HAWAIIAN WORD THAT MEANS MERRY CHRISTMAS.
WHEN THE MISSIONARIES  ARRIVED IN HAWAII IN 1820 THEY INTRODUCED  CHRISTMAS TO THE HAWAIIAN PEOPLE.  THE HAWAIIAN'S FOUND MERRY CHRISTMAS DIFFICULT TO PRONOUNCE.  THE PHONETIC TRANSLATION,  MELE KALIKIMAKA  ROLLED MORE EASILY OFF THEIR TONGUES.
THEN IN 1950, BING CROSBY & THE ANDREW SISTERS TURNED IT INTO THE SMASH  HIT SONG WE ALL ARE SO FAMILIAR WITH.
