Aussie Christmases
by Danica
The typical Christmas scene includes chimneys and fireplaces, mugs of hot chocolate, warm gloves, scarves and coats, and the beautiful snow that’s so common in the US, the UK and of course, the North Pole.
But what most people don’t experience is Christmas in summer, which Australians get to enjoy every year.
Scott Hampson of Agent-X Comics tweeted this link to a music video of Rolf Harris’ Christmas in the Sun.
I think Mr Harris describes Aussie Christmases well.
Over here in Western Sydney where I live, we had a cloudy and wet Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Even so, a summer Christmas is the Christmas for me. So what if it’s hot and it’s not snowing? I’ve never celebrated Christmas anywhere except here in Sydney, so I’m not missing out on anything. For me personally, a white Christmas would be pretty exciting, but I guess it’s not my kinda thing.

We get a small taste of warmth during Christmas here in the SouthEastern US, but honestly a nice warm Australian Christmas would be even better. A nice, snowy white Holiday season is great and all – but only for a few days and then it gets pretty tiresome.
I can only imagine what it’d be like over there. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
I’m not a fan of winter =s lol. When I was in New York at the beginning of Dec 08 it was FREEZING! It was so hard to move or explore, it was only minus 3 degrees though not snowing yet. I’d hate to see how freezing it was closer to xmas hehe
but i guess i’d like to experience a white xmas, but i duno if id survive lol
Well I know in some places, the snow doesn’t last long, so I guess that means it also doesn’t get as cold.
