Gday Boss – I’ve just fed my cousins (the Six White Boomers) and now wish you a very Merry Christmas from Down Under. Thank you for your wonderful Pulpland with all its many joys and hidden jewels. I hope you keep going for many years to come because you bring pleasure to so many. Merry Christmas to all the other commentators too who also make this an interesting site especially Lacey, Rosa KellyM and Marc – but all of youse funny and serious guys and dolls actually. …….I’m sure we all know that old Christmas Favourite The 12 Days of Christmas: Well here’s an Aussie version for your perusal starting with On the 1st day of Christmas my True Love gave to me a Kelpie in an old ute then follows on with – Two Noahs a gnawing (Noah’s Ark = Shark) three emus running four roos a hopping, 5 Holden Cars, 6 pie floaters cooking, 7 sheilas gabbing 8 blokes a drinking, nine lovely lamingtons*, 10 First Nation People, 11 cricket players 12 lifesavers parading…… and on that note I bid youse all a very Cherry Mishmash and a Yappy New Hare – as we say out in the suburbs.
* an Aussie delicacy, especially in Queensland, equalled almost by vegemite on toast
