When you sing in a vocal band, you end up doing a lot of carols by candlelight type gigs - which are great, because there's usually a big crowd and the kids go bananas, but can also get a bit tedious if you have to sing the same old carols year in year out. Plus, all this palaver about white Christmases and Santa and reindeer... That's not what Christmas is about in our Aussie familiy. So we wrote one about what's important to us.

Lyrics:

I just about finished my shopping
I worked my way right down the list
It's a last minute dash and I'm right outta cash
But I think that there's someone I missed

I got the kids just what they asked for
I got your dad a carton of beer
Got your mother some soap, so I honestly hope
That she's used what I gave her last year

I heard you dropping hints about diamonds
But the price tag looked a bit high
And you deserve a present that's priceless
So I got you something money can't buy

Yes I'm giving you a cuddle for Christmas
It was the best present I could afford
It takes no batteries
Got a full warranty
And it folds, so it's easily stored.

I'm giving you a cuddle for Christmas
It's got a full cuddle-back guarantee
So if it's no good
Or doesn't do what it should
You just give it right back to me

A DVD you watch and forget it
A book is only good for one read
Clothing is fine, but it fades over time
But a hug's something everyone needs

I know that you're a bit of a greenie
Well, in that regard you'll find it quite apt
It's totally environment-friendly
Cause you're the only thing that gets wrapped

I'm giving you a cuddle for Christmas
This voucher tells you all you should know
Like where to redeem,
Or at the bottom it seems
To tell you just how far this cuddle can go

I'm giving you a cuddle for Christmas
And nine out of ten would agree
I beat all the rest
Coz an independent test said
The best cuddles come from me
Yeah I creamed all the rest in that independent test
The best cuddles come from me.
