Kiwi Jingle BellsDashing 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
(Chorus)
Oh Jingle Bells. jingle bells, jingle all the way
Christmas in New Zealand on a sunny summer’s 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 Kiwi score
(Chorus)
Soon we’re at the beach, Our rellies shout “G’day”
We swap our Chrissie presents, a boogie board-Hooray
We change into our togs and to the sea we run
What a joy to splash and swim, Summer’s so much fun
(Chorus)
The grown-up’s call us in, They’ve laid us out a spread:
Lunch is fish n chips, and cheerios in bread
L&P to drink, Pavlova, pud and pie
Anzac bikkies, choccy fish it’s cracker kiwi Kai!
(Chorus)
The kid’s are keen to play, but the dad’s all want to nap
Sunscreen starts to fly
As mum’s go slip-slop-slap
We race out to the sand, to play a game of touch
But the cuzzies are all too slow, because they ate too much
(Chorus)
The barbecue heats up, the sun begins to sink
Our tea’s 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!
Kiwi Bound 
Hi–
Sounds as though you experienced the real-deal Kiwi Christmas–good on ya, Mates! (Or does that sound too Aussie?) Your card arrived last Friday, I think–thank you. I was surprised by the postage origin. Did you use a re-mailing service in Minneapolis? How did that work? Continue to have fun and to update the blog. Happy New Year!
