Definitely not 'All I Want for Christmas', in my case.
Here's 10 Aussie Christmas songs, the best known probably being Paul Kelly's wonderful 'How to Make Gravy'.
What do you think? Got other suggestions?

ENOUGH!!!! Time to go to bed! Christmas is over.

Not quite a song but it does get sung every year.

I'm really hoping no one mentions Mariah Carey here. [emoji6]

While I do like Christmas, I frigging hate Christmas songs of all descriptions... Glad they're all gone for another year...

I don't like Rodney Rude, either. Never heard of Cokebottle.

Here's a link.

Here's another link to one of his monologues.

As racist as anything but he would put on pub shows in the north and the places would be packed out with the local aborigines all laughing, chuckling and chortling. Particularly the jokes about his mate Morton. Morton is one of those characters who attract trouble. Every aboriginal family (and a lot of whites) has a Morton with whom the audience could identify.
