Santa’s having a fun day at the beach, surfing and cooking a barbecue for Mrs Claus and the reindeer… Who doesn’t love a day at the beach! TV personality Suzy Cato has teamed up with award-winning children’s musical duo Itty Bitty Beats (Lucy Hiku & Jenny Payne) to perform this fun song — you can download the song AND watch the video! (Publisher information.)

Suzy Cato is a New Zealand children’s entertainment goddess (well, just general goddess).  This is a great book, song, and video to get a sense of Christmas in Aotearoa.
