Let this song get your students in the spirit for Christmas: a Hawaiian Christmas! Christmas in Hawaii is a big celebration. Hawaiians love to put up lights and decorations and have festive luaus. Even Santa Claus gets into the Hawaiian spirit - he arrives each year in a magic canoe, barefoot and wearing bright colored clothing. We made the accompaniment for this song sound very Hawaiian, of course, complete with slide and acoustic guitars, bass, and ukulele. The kit includes a handy pronunciation guide. Mele Kalikimaka!
