FOR OUR AUSSIE FRIENDS!

Jingle "Aussie" Bells
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 summers day, Hey!
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 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 summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

Come the afternoon,
Grandpa has a doze,
The kids and Uncle Bruce,
Are swimming in their clothes.
The time comes 'round to go,
We take the family snap,
Pack the car and all shoot through,
Before the washing up.

Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
Christmas in Australia
on a scorching summers day, Hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut!,
Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.

Jabber, I THINK that part was super-imposed (is that a word? duh!) If you look through the link, you will see many like that. Sad thing is, I think they are no longer because it stopped if you notice, a few years back.

Rick, the baby is beautiful, anyway. ***

MadBeen working on the furnace all morning. Mad

What a time to 'Bite the dust'. We're on the mend though, and should be warm again in a few hours. Smile Smile

It's all too much for me! I'll be here hours reading this!! Big Grin

Christmas at our house is up early to run the team, back for bacon sandwiches, and opening presents, then playing with presents (!) until late afternoon when it's turkey all round and Christmas pudding. Mid afternoon we ring the other members of our families to say "Happy Christmas".

The really complicated traditions start at Hogmanay in Scotland, but that's another story....

Squeaky, I am going to post WHAT it is..you need to tell us HOW you celebrate! Smile
Hogmanay is the Scottish New Year, celebrated on 31st December every year. Never being slow to spot a good excuse for a party, the night involves a celebratory drink or two, fireworks and the kissing of complete strangers – not necessarily in that order.

Where did the word Hogmanay come from?

Nobody knows for sure. Various suggestions have been made over the years and they all sound pretty good from where we are sitting:

from the Gaelic oge maidne ("new morning")

-A Flemish combo of hoog ("high" or "great"), min ("love" or "affection") and dag ("day")

-Anglo-Saxon Haleg Monath ("Holy Month")

-Norman French word hoguinané("gift at New Year")
