For spending a Christmas vacation in the Antipodes log on to 123Christians for information on Christmas in
Australia. Here, Christmas is often very hot.
Whereas the northern hemisphere is in the middle of winter, Australians are baking in the summer heat. It is not unusual to have
Christmas Day well into the mid 30 degrees Celsius, or 100 degrees Fahrenheit. A traditional Christmas meal includes a turkey dinner, | |
with ham, and pork. A blazing Christmas plum pudding is added for dessert. In the Australian gold rushes, Christmas puddings often contained a gold nugget. Today a small favor is baked inside. Whoever finds this, will enjoy good luck. Another treat is Mince Pies.
Some Australians and tourists often have their Christmas dinner at midday on the local Bondi Beach. Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs attracts thousands of people on Christmas Day, as a popular picnic spot. The day is punctuated by swimming, playing cricket in the backyard, and other outdoor activities. The tradition which commenced in 1937, Carols by Candlelight, is held every year on Christmas Eve, where people gather in the city of Melbourne to sing their favorite Christmas songs. The evening is lit by as many candles as can be lit under a clear night sky. The sky with its Southern Cross stars is like a mirror. Sydney and the other capital cities also enjoy Carols in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Discover the wonders of a Christmas in Australia with
123Christians.
