You'd think it would be easy!
Well, Sharon, I found a huge number of Christmas songs from the South Pacific, many specifically from Hawaii, but not all of them were in Hawaiian and some of the ones in Hawaiian were clearly translations of songs like "Jingle Bells", so I ruled them out. Could this be it? It is "E Aloha E" by Brickwood Galuteria. I liked it a lot.

This album (my parents had this and it was well played for many years) is one of those Firestone/Goodyear store albums that folks could pick up for $1.00! I don't know what happened to Mom and Dad's LP, but I picked up one of my own at an antique store. Never mind that I don't have a turntable to play it on; owning it was necessary.

I think Streisand's "Silent Night" is one of the most beautiful renditions, ever. And before Whitney Houston's 'Do You Hear What I Hear" blew everyone else's version out of the water, Andy Williams sang it here to classic perfection. But the best song on the LP might be Mahalia Jackson's "Away in the Manager".

I too love listening to Christmas music and this time of year gives me the perfect opportunity to do so. I would listen to Christmas music all year long if my dh let me LOL. 2 months is all he can take though.
I thought this year I might make one Chanukah addition though traditionally (IMO) Chanukah music is not nearly as catchy as Christmas music. It just isn't and well I never listen to it but did a search and found one “Don’t Let the Light Go Out" or aka "Light One Candle"...so for the adventurous PSers here you go.

This video was sent to me by my friend who is a musician in the Nashville Symphony orchestra, The significance of which will become more apparent as he watch the video. This medley runs a little longer than most of the songs posted here, but I can pretty much guarantee that you'll be glad you watched it!

The first time I listened to this I noticed that it had been recorded first in Spanish and I listened to a Spanish version of it to see if it was better than the English one. To my surprise I preferred the English version to what I thought was the original version that made the song so enormously popular. After a while (i kept revisiting YouTube to listen to it), I realized that the Spanish version I had first listened to was not the original one. The original one is far more charming. So I am posting it, because I prefer it to the English version and I would like it to be available to people who read this thread. It is no wonder that it charmed everyone into buying it and having it translated into English, too!
