Anthony & Lucia Field
While other dads spend Christmas mornings knee-deep in wrapping paper with their kids, a long-standing tradition means Anthony starts the day with children other than his own.
Since co-founding The Wiggles in 1991, Anthony and the band visit the Sydney Children's Hospital in Randwick each year. "Only the children who are really sick are still in the wards - they do try to get everyone home," he explains. "We go around and sing Christmas songs. And if the children don't celebrate Christmas, then we'll sing their favourite Wiggles song. We all try to hide our emotions. I'm a bit of a downer driving home but then I get there and I'm very grateful to be with my own family."
"I went a couple of times when I was little," adds eldest daughter Lucia, who recently donned a blue skivvy of her own. "It was a lot of fun being a mini-Santa, giving the gifts. Now I can join in again."
