WE went to a local golf club on Sunday night for a festive carol singing event. Sitting there in the sun singing Away in a Manger was surreal but then, Christmas Down Under was always going to be different to whatever we've known before.
At the golf club, we were introduced to a new version of one of our favourite traditional carols but this time, with a twist. It went something like...
Dashing through the bush, in a rusty Holden ute
Kicking up the dust, Esky in the boot
Kelpie by my side, singing Christmas songs
It's summer time and I am in
My singlet, shorts and thongs.
Oh... Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time's a beaut,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute.
Engine's getting hot, we dodge the kangaroos
The swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too
All the family's there, sitting by the pool
Christmas Day, the Aussie way, by the barbecue.
Oh... Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Christmas in Australia on a scorching summer's day.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time's a beaut
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute.
