To many Australians, Saturday is more than just Dec. 21. It's “Gravy Day,” all because of a lyric in one of the most unlikely Christmas songs ever written.
“How to Make Gravy,” written by singer Paul Kelly, has become a holiday classic in Australia over the past few decades. It was cited this week by the nation's prime minister, Anthony Albanese, as he announced a decision to release five drug smugglers from prison, and is the subject of a new movie that creates a story behind the song.
