Australia
Christmas means summer, schoolchildren get six weeks holiday and many professionals close their office from Christmas Eve to Australia Day on January 26. Christmas Day is spent outdoors, swimming, surfing or fishing, with seafood and cold meats hamper (picnic), though many still like a traditional roast dinner. Santa comes down the chimney on the night of December 24 and eats a piece of cake left out for him. However, it is too hot for the reindeer so he is pulled by six white boomers (kangaroos). The Christmas tree is decorated with candy canes (chocolate would melt!). The presents under the tree are handed out on Christmas Day, December 25, often by the family patriarch with a Santa hat and a tinnie (tin can of beer)!
Happy Christmas!
