| 2s | let's have a yarn about Christmas in |
|---|---|
| 6s | Australia when you think of |
| 9s | Christmas your mind might conjure up |
| 11s | images of snow |
| 14s | fireplaces |
| 16s | and hot |
| 18s | cocoa but down under it's a whole |
| 21s | different |
| 23s | story first up let's talk about the |
| 27s | weather while folks in the northern |
| 30s | hemisphere here are bundled up we're |
| 33s | often in shorts and |
| 35s | thongs and by thongs I obviously mean |
| 38s | flip |
| 39s | flops it's not uncommon to have a |
| 42s | Christmas where the temperature Soares |
| 44s | above 30° |
| 46s | C so that means our Christmas activities |
| 49s | often revolve around the beach or a |
| 51s | backyard |
| 53s | pool picture families and mates |
| 56s | gathering for a game of cricket on the |
| 58s | sand or a lazy swim to escape the |
| 62s | Heat and then is the iconic Aussie |
| 68s | barbecue while traditional Christmas |
| 71s | Fair like roast turkey and Plum Pudding |
| 74s | aren't completely off the |
| 77s | menu many Aussies prefer to throw some |
| 79s | prawns or a Snapper on the |
| 82s | Bobby it's more about fresh salads and |
| 86s | cold dishes than the hoty warm meals of |
| 88s | a winter Christmas |
| 92s | oh and let's not forget the classic |
| 95s | Aussie pav heaped with cream and |
| 98s | seasonal fruits like mango and berries |
| 101s | it's a staple on many Christmas |
| 106s | tables Santa Claus often swaps out his |
| 109s | heavy velvet suit for something more |
| 112s | suitable for our |
| 114s | climate namely board shorts a singlet a |
| 118s | cork hat and some zinc on his |
| 122s | nose you might even spot him surfing at |
| 125s | Bondi |
| 127s | Beach and about those reindeer nah he |
| 131s | always swaps those out for ruse while |
| 134s | he's in our Nick of the |
| 137s | woods one thing that's particularly |
| 140s | special about Christmas in Australia is |
| 142s | the blend of |
| 145s | cultures we're a Multicultural Society |
| 147s | and that's reflected in our Christmas |

| 174s | a homeless shelter or participating in |
| 177s | charity |
| 178s | events it's a Time when the community |

| 200s | mid year celebration for the novelty |
