"I've seen more grace and subtlety from a cat tossed into a swimming pool."
--Kyle Smith, New York Post on "Evening", from Foscus Features, which I am currently reading the book.

For now, let's imagine you're the one in the middle, surrounded by, oh, let's say me, Lynne, Judy, mouk, and Meryl! :)

The singing of 'Malay Kalikimaka' has become a Christmas tradition in my family. My aunt (mother's youngest sister) and her family lived in Hawaii for a number of years (aunt's husband, a Marine, was stationed there), and my two youngest cousins were taught the song while growing up there. Every Christmas Eve, at least one of them (sometimes accompanied by my aunt) perform the number for the larger family, awakening nostalgia for that earthly paradise looming far, far away in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean.

Do they dance while singing? Now I wish I had included you in the group performing it, Scott. :-*

If my aunt Carolyn and cousin Jennifer are performing it together, then yes, they do their best attempt at a hula while crooning this family favorite.
