A Kiwi jingle Bells


Dashing to the bay,
in a Kombi campervan,
Christmas at the beach-the family's master plan.
Dad is at the wheel
and mum sits by his side
we kids are squabbling in the back
as we go for a ride.
Oh jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Christmas in New Zealand on a sunny summers day, ay!!
Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to have a Kiwi Holiday!
we stop off at the shops
to load the chilly bin,
hokey pokey ice cream
soon dribbles down my chin.
We jump into the van
heading for the shore, dad fiddles with the radio
to hear the cricket score.
Soon we're at the beach
our rellies shout "g-day"
We swap our Chrissie pressies, a boogie board-hooray!
The grown ups call us in
they've laid us out a spread:
lunch is fish n chips
and cheerios in bread.
L and P to drink
pavlova, pud and pie
Anzac bikkies, choccy fish and it cracker Kiwi kai!!
The kids are keen to play,
but the dads all want to nap
the sunscreen starts to fly,
as mums go slip slop slap.
We race out to the sand,
to play a game of touch,
but all the cuzzies are too slow,
because they ate too much!
The bbq heats up,
the sun begins to sink,
our teas as good as gold
we've scoffed it in a wink
It's nearly time for bed,
we've had an awesome day,
celebrating Christmas time,
the real New Zealand way!!
Oh jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way
Christmas in New Zealand on a sunny summers day, ay!!
Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to have a Kiwi Holiday!

Like the song! Don't feel bad about missing the snow at Christmas because it doesn't look like it will be a white Christmas in Ontario either!
