Poem: Christmas in Australia

Christmas in Australia
In the Southern Hemisphere,
We'll celebrate under the sun
There'll be no snow down here.

The kids arise with starry eyes
The presents 'round the tree,
Excitement on their faces
Oh what a joy to see.

Breakfast time it's ham and eggs
Traditional morning meal,
Good on you mum oh what a feeling
How do you feel.

We all get dressed in Sunday best
It's time to go and visit,
A little burp and my three year old
Says "that's not manners is it ?"







We pack our bags with aeroguard
Our block out and akubra,
We're off to see the Grandparents
Who live up at Maroubra.

The sun the surf and beach brolly
And the esky will not fail 'ya,
Spend Christmas Day out in the sun
With your family in Australia!

I found this neat little Aussie Christmas site, which gives a pretty good overview of Christmas in Australia. Worth the look for the curious.
