Christmas is such a festive and joyous season. It is easily one of the happiest holidays of the year. It is an occasion to fill your stomach with food, and to receive all kinds of gifts from loved ones.
Every part of the world has its way of celebrating Christmas. Each country has something unique to offer. Certainly, Christmas in Australia is an experience you don’t want to miss.
Once December rolls in, pretty much all households celebrating Christmas in Australia will have Christmas trees. The surroundings will be filled with blossoms of Christmas plants such as Christmas bells and orchid. There’s simply an excitement in the air.
However, unlike what you are used to, Christmas in Australia is slightly different. There are still food and gift-giving, but some elements are just not the same. But, trust me, these new things are something you’ll be happy to experience and try.
Christmas is a long-held tradition common to the Catholic practice. In fact, the Catholic Christmas is what we are accustomed to. Every eve of the 24th of December, we have a gathering with our family to eat food and share gifts.
December 25 is believed to be the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the promised savior based on Catholic teachings. The idea of giving gifts and preparing food for festivity came from the story in the Bible. This story is about the celebration of his birth.
So, Christmas is not just a simple holiday. It is actually one of the most sacred days, especially for those who practice Catholicism. This idea of a savior being born is what makes the holiday feel magical and special.
Much of the Christmas songs we know talk about how cold the weather is during December. The decorations in our house are covered with snow. Even Santa Clause wears a thick set of clothes because it’s too cold delivering gifts at night.
But in Australia, Christmas is a summer. Forget about snow and rain, or even cold gusts of wind. Leave your winter jacket at home, because the temperature can range from 25 to 35 degrees Celsius.
Because it is the early start of summer in the southern hemisphere, not only Brisbane where I live but also most Australians prefer to spend the holidays outdoors. Australia is famous for a lot of its beaches. So, during December, you will see a lot of families going down to the beach.
