Australian Christmas Traditions Explained To The World

8.

“We learnt Aussie ‘Jingle Bells’ at school, and always sang that at the end of year assembly. I didn’t know it was a different song and now that I think about it, I don’t know the words of the original ‘Jingle Bells’.”

And for those who want to know the Aussie lyrics:

“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 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.”
