There are lots of ways to celebrate Christmas in Australia!

Like what? Since it's summer there during Christmas it's kind of weird.

Yeah it is, that's true!  Here's a small sampling of Australian Christmas activities:  some call it summer over there, and during the summer the leaves get burned off the trees in an annual ritual of renewal, to symbolize the passing of old leaves to new ones.  In some places, where Christmas is a big thing, it's customary to light bonfires in order to dry all the Christmas tree branches.  The holiday season starts out with Australia Day, January 26.  In the afternoon, the prime minister traditionally burns an old log that is ceremoniously handed over in a fireworks display.  And there are lots of parades and even a national holiday, Anzac Day, on April 25, which commemorates the invasion of Gallipoli.

Any other ideas?
