Koi (pronounced koy) or more specifically nishikigoi literally means “brocaded carp".
Koi are ornamental varieties of the common carp that were domesticated and bred starting in the 1820s and are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor ponds and water gardens. They are also sometimes called Japanese carp.

Koi can be very expensive, some special Koi can be well into the thousands of dollars.

Koi are very popular in Japan because they are a symbol of love and friendship.

Although a variety of colors and color patterns have since been developed; the most common colors include white, black, red, yellow, blue, and cream. The most popular category of koi is the Gosanke, which is made up of the Kohaku, Taisho Sanshoku, and Showa Sanshoku varieties.

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.”
