It is Christmas Day. My card collection this year, as always, contain images of winter scenes with snow and fur trees. Our Australian Christmas is during Summer so our traditions and weather are very different from other parts of the world.
Christmas
Where the Gum Trees Grow
From England
came our Christmas fare
They even
said what Santa should wear
But here
down under for summer's cool
Santa should
dip in a swimming pool
Santa rides
in a sleigh on snow
But down
here where the gum trees grow
Santa should
wear some water skis
And glide
around Australia with ease
To ride
'round the bush where it's often dry
To cart all
the presents piled up high
A red-nosed
reindeer would never do
Santa should
jump on a kangaroo.
Chorus
Christmas
where the gum trees grow
There is no
frost and there is no snow
Christmas in
Australia's hot
Cold and
frosty is what it's not
When the
bloom of the jacaranda tree is here
Christmas
time is near.
