I just have to share our kiwi version of the “12 days of Christmas” although I did struggle to find photos except for the pukeko and the ponga tree! I did have some kumara in the pantry but I cooked them for dinner before I remembered to take the photo.
A Pukeko in a Ponga Tree (Written by Kingi Ihaka in 1981) (The 12 Days of Christmas) On the first day of Christmas My true love gave to me A pukeko in a ponga tree On the second day of Christmas My true love gave to me Two kumera And a pukeko in a ponga tree On the third day of Christmas... and so on, until... On the twelfth day of Christmas My true love gave to me Twelve piupius swinging Eleven haka lessons Ten juicy fish heads Nine sacks of pipis Eight plants of puha Seven eels a swimming Six pois a twirling Five - big - fat - pigs ! Four huhu grubs Three flax kits Two kumera And a pukeko in a ponga tree!
