An Aussie 🐨 Day Before Christmas 🎄 | Kilmeny Niland | KIDS CHRISTMAS READ 📚 ALOUD

An Aussie Day Before Christmas (by Kilmeny Niland, following Yvonne Morrison's An Aussie Night Before Christmas) is a fun, rhyming children's book that flips the traditional Christmas Eve story to an Aussie summer day, following Santa in his beach shack as he gets ready, wrangling kangaroos to pull his ute, dealing with pesky kookaburras, and prepping for his hot Aussie Christmas delivery, filled with iconic Aussie slang, animals, and summer traditions. The story "An Aussie Day Before Christmas" is set in a sunny Australian beach shack, not a snowy North Pole. Featuring an Aussie (Australian) Santa (with sunburnt cheeks!), his wife Sheila Claus, and kangaroos instead of reindeer. On the day before Christmas, Santa's busy preparing, finding his helpers (the roos!), and getting his ute (utility vehicle) ready for his big night. Traditional Christmas elements like chimneys are replaced by gum trees, and gifts might include surfboards or barbecue tongs, all delivered with "Strine" (Australian slang). "An Aussie Day Before Christmas" is a warm, comical, and culturally specific take on Christmas, highlighting unique Australian summer customs and animals. A great fun family read for all during this Festive Christmas Holiday season! Thanks for joining Sebastian and I here ‪@storytreebooks‬ Story Tree Books is a YouTube Kids Read Aloud Books Channel.
