Lyr Req: Tropical and Southern Hemisphere Xma

I'm looking for Tropical and/or Southern-Hemisphere Christmas carols that have nativity themes set in summer or at least muggy heat. There've been a few recently in Australian threads, but not many, and I know of one (Carol our Christmas, our upside-down Christmas, from New Zealand) but surely there must be others from those countries, and also from South America and South Africa, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Indonesia/Timor/PNG, the Congo formerly known as Zaïre, etc. Chords and/or tunes and/or MIDIs or whatever would be helpful, too, but lyrics are a good place to start.

Dômo arigatô gozaimasu and kurisumasu omedetô and whatnot Masato-sama (one assumes from your name that you're a Japonophone). Thanks. So now NZ is heavily represented. What about the other places I mentioned, and those I left out?

That takes you to some New Zeland Christmas songs - both original, and local versions of such things as the 12 Days of Christmas.

Truly I have no clue why it worked for me and not for you, Genie.

The reason is because you typed them into composer, which then considers them to be literal chars, not HTML commands. The source code in the unsuccessful link uses ampersand commands to force HTM to display the brackets as brackets rather than process them as HTML:

<a href="http://.. etc. shows as a literal, instead of starting an HTML command.

Actually one problem was the URL ending in .htmll instead of .html... This is a working link, even a decade later: http://folksong.org.nz/nzchristmas/index.html.

This must have been when I was really new here, since it looks like it was my first encounter with masato sakurai sensei! Unfortunately, his Gibson link no longer works. Anybody know what was there?
