Christmas in Australia



A lot you keep asking what Christmas is like in Australia. Well... MSN asked the same question and this is what they found (pic compliments of msn):

"Australia (Merry Christmas!): Naturally, Santa Claus arrives on a surf rescue boat in Queensland, because he visits in high summer. Australians surround themselves with Christmas bush, a native plant that has little red flowers; some use gum-tree branches for decoration, rather than evergreens. In Melbourne, tens of thousands of people gather each Christmas Eve for Carols by Candlelight, a tradition since the early 20th century, which has caught on in other Australian cities."
