Similar to Leon Redbone's version but abridged for BUG - the first video is in the same key as the song sheet!

The inspiration for "Christmas Island" came from Moraine’s visit to the tiny island, an external Australian territory in the Indian Ocean, where he was captivated by its stunning natural beauty and unique traditions. The territory derives its name from its discovery on Christmas Day 1643 by Captain William Mynors.
