Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
That's the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way
To say "Merry Christmas to you."
 

That's right! It is again time for the annual dNet XXXmas par tee!  The one time of year when the entire dNet family gets together to celebrate!  Ok, now that isn't quite true, we actually do a lot of celebrating all year long, but XXXmas is one GREAT excuse for a party!!

This year the dNet XXXmas party will be in Hawaii!!!  YEAH!  Sand, beaches, babes (guys for you ladies in the crowd), blue skies, and perfect weather!  Well, ok not really, it is at the Johnson house, but we are having a Hawaiian theme this year!!
