So saw this…and it made me wonder. Do Australians have their own Christmas songs?

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, Oh,
     Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut.
     Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden ute

 Engine's getting hot, we dodge the kangaroo,
 Swaggie climbs aboard, he is welcome too.
 All the family's here, sitting by the pool,
 Christmas day the Aussie way, by the barbecue. Oh..

Chorus

 Come the afternoon, Grandpa has a doze,
 The kids and Uncle Bruce are swimming in their clothes.
 Time has come to go, we take a family snap,
 And pack the car and all shoot through before the washing up. Oh..

Chorus

Seriously, that last one is an actual song.

It’s also a pretty accurate description of Christmas in Australia.
