Christmas Traditions Worldwide

This link above is a great article on the Christmas traditions from around the world. I really think that the traditions families have are more telling though. Tell us about YOUR Christmas traditions. No matter where you are from!

That article was quite correct for Aus, except that I have known temperatures exceed the 100 degrees mentioned and like fools we still sit down to a hot lunchtime meal - well some Aussies have more sense and have something more sensible, but to me it wouldn't be Christmas without that delicious roast meats and plum pudding!


Australia

In Australia, the holiday comes in the middle of summer and it's not unusual for some parts of Australia to hit 100 degrees Farenheit on Christmas day.

During the warm and sunny Australian Christmas season, beach time and outdoor barbecues are common. Traditional Christmas day celebrations include family gatherings, exchanging gifts and either a hot meal with ham, turkey, pork or seafood or barbeques.
