�Christmas in Australia
In Australia, the days before Christmas are hot. Christmas is during the summer months and it is the beginning of a nice holiday time for pupils. Families which have relatives in Europe, dream of having a traditional white Christmas once in their lives. Children would like to build a snowman or go skiing, as they know it from the pictures, Christmas stories and Christmas cards.
In�Australia�Christmas presents are distributed on Christmas morning the 25th of December. The electric candles burn on the Christmas tree, the family sings Christmas carols and unwraps their presents.
After that, children go outside or down to the beach because it is usually very hot � about thirty-five degrees. At the same time, the rest of the family prepares Christmas lunch. Some families have a barbecue outside in the garden or on the beach, others have a big meal inside the house, because it�s cooler there.
