Mele Kalikimaka is the closest approximation of saying "Merry Christmas" in the Hawaiian language. This lighthearted tune was written in 1949 and recorded by Bing Crosby and The Andrew Sisters in 1950, a version still popular today. Beginning the titular syncopated melody on an up-bow helps create accents and fun. Familiar accidentals give the piece color, and every section has independent entrances with a chance to play the main melodies and important supporting parts. A fun and musically educational way to celebrate the holiday season!
