Merry Christmas to everyone !

Just a few words

(and a home-made video)

to wish you all

Merry Christmas...

***
Please, 
accept my invitation!

Watch the video and
Listen to the music carefully! 

Do you notice anything "strange" or "different"? 

 

 The video has been produced -for this very occasion- by my friend Victor Ferrer.

Thank you, Victor! ;-)

If you pay attention to the lyrics, 

you will notice that the version used of this famous Christmas Carol 

is a bit different from the traditional "Jingle Bells".
Have you noticed it?

In fact, the music selected by Victor (in his video)
is the Australian version of the well-known "Jingle Bells".
 

****
Here you are the lyrics of this 
 Australian "Jingle Bells" 

 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 Summer time 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.

Engine's getting hot;
we dodge the kangaroos,
The swaggie climbs aboard,
he is welcome too.
All the family's there,
sitting by the pool,
Christmas Day the Aussie way,
by the barbecue.

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.

Come the afternoon,
Grandpa has a doze,
The kids and Uncle Bruce,
are swimming in their clothes.
The time comes 'round to go,
we take the family snap,
Pack the car and all shoot through,
before the washing up.

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.
