Christmas in Australia is much like Christmas in England, except it’s hot. We put up trees, but native pine trees or plastic ones. We exchange gifts, generally in the morning and then have a family lunch. Most people are leaning away from traditional roast lunches and going more for seafood and/or barbecue. A game of backyard cricket is usually in order, or a swim. After an afternoon nap, it’s usually into left-overs from lunch and forego the evening meal. Bear in mind, one is usually drinking from about 10am onward. Some people have the evening dinner with the second-tier relatives. Boxing day is usually lunch with friends or third-tier relatives and there is a Cricket match which starts on Boxing Day between Australia and whichever whipping-boys happen to be in the country at the time. It’s called The Boxing Day Test Match for some reason.
