Twelve Days of Christmas (Hawaii-Style)

While Andy and I were stuck in traffic on our way to visit family for Christmas last year, we wrote a new version of the Twelve Days of Christmas

Sing along as you read it, starting with "On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,"

Twelve whales a leaping

Eleven hula dancers

Ten surfers surfing

Nine ukes a strumming

Eight coconut pancakes

Seven dolphins swimming

Six honu basking

Fiiiiiiiiive golden beaches

Four finger poi

Three Kauai hens

Two loco mocos

And a nene in a palm tree

I hope you’ve enjoyed our semi-humorous lyrics. Andy and I wish a Mele Kalikimaka to you and yours!

  • Hmmm... I like those lyrics. Although I would have kept the five big fat pigs. Maybe I would change them to five wild pigs (meat is leaner). Sorry, had to throw that in there! :)

    Merry Christmas right back at ya! Wish you guys were here!

    You guys have to hug each other for me! Ready? Go!
