Christmas Kids

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 summertime and I am in my singlet, shorts and thong. One of the world’s best-loved Christmas carols is given a hilarious Aussie twist. This version has become a staple at end-of-year school concerts. Nick Bland’s comical illustrations show the whole family enjoying Christmas Day: see who you can recognise!
