I went to Hilo Hattie's website and there are a number of Christmas CDs and I haven't a clue which would be a "must have" selection. Anyone have a Hawaiian Christmas CD that you would recommend or perhaps a certain artist/group that you would recommend? Thanks!

I like the Christmas albums from Ho'okena and Na Leo Pilimehana.

I like the Hapa Holidays and the Cazimeros.

Recieved "Ki ho'alu Christmas" featuring different Hawaiian slack key guitar artists for Christmas several years ago,and can recommend it.

I second Cazimero Bros and Hapa. Also like Willie K's 'Willie Kalikimaka'. There are also some great cds with mixed
artists now..but they're at my office, so I cant tell you the names, sorry!

Hilo Hattie's CD prices are outrageous -- and I'm not just saying that because I am a retailer myself. Shop online or at a local music store -- expect to pay no more than $16.98 per CD.

My favorite Christmas CDs are by Teresa Bright, Hapa, Ho`okena, Brothers Cazimero, Hawai`i Calls, Willie K, Karen Keawehawai`i, and the Makaha Sons.

If you want some "only in Hawai`i" style, try these by-various-artists CDs: "Mele Kalikimaka", "Ki Ho`alu Christmas", and "Santa Claus Lives in Hawai`i"
