Maui blog had a video and paired up the lyrics with it for the Hawaiian 12 Days of Christmas carol that has been famous for about 5o years now.
You know…
Numbah One day of Christmas, my tutu give to me
One mynah bird in one papaya tree.
Numbah Two day of Christmas, my tutu give to me
Two coconut, an’ one mynah bird in one papaya tree.
Numbah Tree day of Christmas, my tutu give to me
Tree dry squid, two coconut,
An’ one mynah bird in one papaya tree.
Numbah Foah day of Christmas, my tutu give to me
Foah flowah lei, tree dry squid, two coconut,
An’ one mynah bird in one papaya tree.
and so on…
Go see it!

I really like that rendition…it just goes to show that for not everyone, Christmas isn’t always about snow and egg nog…it can also be about papayas, leis, and surfing :P
I can’t wait to get there…still saving towards my goal…
