Christmas Carols...

Ok...so we are late this year in pulling out the carols...usually by now... we are playing them every day..

don't you just love this one...?

Christmas where the gum trees grow

Christmas where the gum trees grow..
There is no frost and there is no snow
Christmas in Australia’s hot
Cold and frosty’s what it’s not
When the blue bottle Jacaranda tree is here
Christmas time is near

From England came our Christmas fair..
They even said what Santa should wear
But here down under for the summers cool
Santa should dip in the swimming pool

Santa rides on a sleigh on snow
But down here where the gum trees grow
Santa should wear some water ski’s
And glide around Australia with these

To ride around the bush where it’s dry
To cart our presents piled so high
.a red nose reindeer would never do
Santa should jump on a kangaroo


and of course how can you go past... Bing Crosby.. singing almost any carol...this is what I grew up listening to at Christmas time... so it means so much to me..

I'll be home for Christmas.. always brings tears to my eyes... yes I'm a sook..
