And this one is for you, Aleshanee, just because it kind of looks like your kind of picture.  (Apologies if I'm wrong.)

wild celebration in the mountains?..... ???




... sorry....  ;D ....... i think i know what you are trying to say.... it;s actually mele kalikimaka..... which people have taken to mean "merry christmas" in hawaiian because it was used in a song with the same name......

but the real way to say merry christmas in hawaiian is....  le'ale'a kalikimaka ..... which probably didn;t sound right trying to sing it in a song.... :-\......  so the song writer used the word "mele" instead.... ... which people take to mean a wild party..... but i think it actually has no direct english translation.... and if it had to be described it would sort of be a combination of a raucous party that originated with a rock concert and ended with a few brawls here and there.....  ???

Thanks for the lesson.  We grew up singing that little diddy off the Bing Crosby tape.
