They deliver presents, wearing red caps, and are, on the whole, very efficient (there were only a couple of incidents when chocolates melted in their pouches, and once a joey ate the whole box of chocolate bunnies, intended to someone else and got sick).

Early on one Christmas Day, a Joey Kanga-roo
Was far from home and lost in a great big zoo
Mummy, where's my mummy, they've taken her a-way
We'll help you find your mummy son, hop on the sleigh
Up beside the bag of toys, little Joey hopped
But they had'nt gone far when Santa stopped
Un-harnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky
[Chorus:]
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian run
Pretty soon old Santa began to feel the heat
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet
Into one popped Joey, feeling quite OK
While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh
Joey said to Santa, Santa, what about the toys
Aren't you giving some to these girls and boys
They've all got their presents son, we were here last night
This trip is an extra trip, Joey's special flight
Soon the sleigh was flashing past, right over Marble Bar
Slow down there, cried Santa, it can't be far
Come up on my lap son, and have a look around
There she is, that's mummy, bounding up and down
Well that's the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had
Curled up in mother's pouch all snug and glad
The last they saw was Santa headed northward from the sun
The only year the boomers worked a double run

Yet another case of discrimination against kangaroos. It's a fair days pay for a fair days work for everyone but not kangaroos. The kangaroos are considering a go slow strike and are going to start picketing some of the neighbourhoods involved.

Yes, it's true. We don't have reindeer here so kangaroos take over the job of helping Santa.
The Australian Christmas song "Six White Boomers" has already been mentioned in another answer.
For those that don't know, a boomer is a large, fully grown male kangaroo.
