- Was singing and dancing and ho`omalimali
- Papa in his malo and me in mu`umu`u
- Greeting `aikane, pehea, mahalo
-
-
- Sister gathered flowers for a lei
- Brother watched the imu all of the day
- Soon the music boys began to play
- Mele old and new of Hawai`i nei
-

- The tables were loaded with plenty of kaukau
- `Opihi and salmon and steaming hot laulau
- We ate and talked stories until we were all pau
- It was really maika`i at our Christmas lü`au
