For Assignment: Holiday Songs

My son has been practicing for his kindergarden christmas show - We have all been learning this..

Aussie Jingle 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 & 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 IS BEAUT
OH WHAT FUN IT IS TO RIDE
IN A RUSTY HOLDEN UTE

Engine’s getting hot
Dodge the kangaroos
Swaggy climbs aboard
He is welcome too
All the family is there
Sitting by the pool
Christmas day, the Aussie way
By the barbecue!

(repeat chorus)

Love the Aussie Jingle Bells! Looking at the entries submitted, I'm hoping this week's contest gives me inspiration to post my own.

Back to the thinking board.
Certainly won't be doing snow and hearth fires here...maybe bushfires!

Let It Snow......please



Unusually mild weather continues here in northern Ohio.

Life just took an unexpected turn, so I don't know if I'll get a chance to work anymore on this week's theme.

A more obscure song: I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play
And mild and sweet the words repeat,
Of peace on earth, good will to men.
