derived from a mixture of other countries. They have Christmas Trees, Father
Christmas, Christmas Carols and gifts which are a familiar Christmas scenario.

Australian Christmas cards, and children in schools with fun learning songs about the cold,
the snowmen and snowflakes. But to their great chagrin, traditional European Christmas
remains a pipe dream. Funny Santa Claus in winter woolen clothing brand does not fit in the
heat of Australia, so resourceful Australians had to come up with your own the summer

The big events of the Christmas season are the Carols by Candlelight.
These began in Melbourne in 1937 and are outside concerts in the warm summer evenings
where people sit on blankets, light candles and join together to sing Christmas Carols.
Christmas Eve wouldn’t be the same without Carols by Candlelight.
How we celebrate the New Year
On Christmas Eve families attend church together. Some children expect Father Christmas
to leave gifts, and others wait for Santa Claus to visit and deliver gifts. On Christmas Eve
in many families the father sets a large candle in a front window of the home to welcome
Mary, Joseph, and the Baby Jesus.
On Christmas Day after opening presents on Christmas morning, the family goes to church
again. Afterwards, there are parties and festive visits. Christmas Day is when families and
close friends gather together from all over Australia. The highlight of the day is the holiday
midday dinner. The person who gets the favor baked inside will enjoy good luck all year round!!!
The day after Christmas, December 26, is Boxing Day.
Australians leave tips for the grocer, postman, newspaper carrier, and others to thank them
for their help in the past year. New Year’s Eve is always a special time, with dinners, dances,
and parties. On Twelfth Night, January 6, there is one last party to end the Christmas season.
