An Australian Christmas

Do you hang on to your own traditions or create anew? How does Santa look in his red shorts? (cool) Some Christmas carols have been changed to go with the season… it is strange to sing about snow in 40°C heat!

Local to us, the typical Christmas day is an early start – it is summer and the sun is up. Will it be a dip in a pool or trip to the beach this year? Lunch is more often than not prawns on the BBQ or a leg of ham served with salads, beer or a chilled wine (For Red wine fans, the chilled red wine by Brown Brothers is worth trying). Turkey and trimmings does feel a bit too much in the heat!
It is also cherry season so in addition to water melon, mangoes, bananas or pineapples, it is rare to go the day without cherries.
Still in, are trees with tinsel, pretty lights and time with family & friends.
