We all know the 12 Days of Christmas, with a partridge in a pear tree…
I was doing a Google search & came across the lyrics to the Aussie 12 Days of Christmas. which has Aussie animals and gifts for each day.
As you obviously love Australia with your Aussie letters, I thought you might enjoy it 🙂
Thanks MissieK.
It is fun to think of Koalas and cockatoos as romantic Christmas gifts instead of doves and pear trees!
I just found another version, with one koala up a gum tree! It’s at http://www.tasgreetings.com/Australian_12days.html
Yesterday i was on the train on the way home from shopping, and some little girls were singing an Aussie version of this song, but there were different words.
they had 3 lyre birds, and 5 kangaroos, so i hope there is another site with the words, as the song i heard was so much better.
I love how we can all share our feelings & memories about Christmas, regardless of cultural backgorund. This is an extremely nice blog here 🙂
Thankyou for this outstanding post – it’s great to see alternative versions of songs to suit local regions. Cheers again
