ʻO nā mea hoʻonaninani Kalikimaka ka hōʻike noi nui o kā mākou nā mea hoʻonani hulu hipa. Kūʻai ʻia ka hapa nui o kā mākou huahana i nā ʻāina Karistiano like ʻole i kēlā me kēia makahiki, a ʻike hope loa ʻia ma ka puka o kēlā me kēia ʻohana, ma ka lāʻau Kalikimaka, ma ke keʻena hoʻonaninani o ka lumi, ma ka lumi o nā keiki, ma ka paia o ka lumi. Makemake pū ka poʻe i nā huahana huluhulu i manaʻo nui ʻia a nui aku, malia paha he ʻano ʻimi kēia no ka mahanahana a me ke aloha. Ma ka Mele Kalikimaka, loaʻa i nā kānaka nā ʻano hana like ʻole e hoʻolauleʻa ai. ʻO kekahi o nā hana hoihoi loa ka "nūhou maikaʻi". He hōʻailona ia i kahi ʻānela e hōʻike ana i ka hānau ʻana o Kristo i nā kahu hipa ma nā wahi kai o Betelehema. I ka hiki ʻana mai o ka pō, ua hele ka papa hīmeni o ka hale pule i kēlā me kēia hale a hīmeni pū i nā mele Kalikimaka. No laila e puka ka ʻohana i waho o ka puka e launa pū me lākou a hui pū me ke mele. Ma hope o ke mele ʻana, ua kono ka mea hoʻokipa i kēlā me kēia i loko o ka lumi e lawelawe i ka tī. Ma hope o kahi wahi o ka banter, hoʻi ka hīmeni i nā hale o haʻi. I kēia manawa, hele pū ka ʻohana o ka haku me ia. ʻO nā kūlana o ka "nūhou maikaʻi" e ulu nui ana a nui aʻe. Hīmeni lākou i nā manawa āpau, a hoʻonui mau ke ʻano o ka hauʻoli i ka manawa mau o ke alaula. I kēia manawa āu e ʻike ai ʻo kā mākou hui hīmeni ʻiole manaʻo.
