Traditions: CustomsIn Australia, Christmas comes in the middle

of the summer holidays! Children have their summer holidays from early to mid December to early February, so some people might even be camping at Christmas!

The words to the Carols about snow and the cold winter are sometimes changed to special Australian words! There are also some original Australian Carols.

FoodDecember is one of the hottest months in

Australia so outdoors sports like swimming, surfing and fishing are common and easy cold meat & salad dominates most meals.

Most families try to be home together for Christmas and the main meal is eaten at lunch time. Most people now have a cold Christmas dinner, or a barbecue with seafood such as prawns and lobsters.

LanguageAustralians say “Merry Christmas” just like

we do.In some cases, they say it with a little bit of a

difference. On Christmas Day the people who live in the outback (far away from cities) send Christmas greetings to each other over the radio network.
