Christmas in Australia

Ho ho ho! (Please don't mistake me for Santa Claus!) Helooo? Anyone here want to learn how Australians spend their Christmas time? Come on, some volunteers! Is there someone after all? Then I'll begin.

Like Europeans, they eat, talk, and then open their presents, sing carols. They usually gather at the beach. They surf, and play beach ball. (Because Christmas in Australia comes in summer) But they have a special song, a Christmas song. Not about Jesus, nor angels, but about Santa Claus! (We'll talk about that later)

Someone know any Christmas jokes? Because I know one! It goes like this:

Who gives presents and has claws?

Santa Claws! (Claus)

What's red, black and white?

A very sooty Santa!

Why does Santa ride in a sleigh?

Because he can't afford an plane!

Why did the Australian say: OH MY!!!!!?????

Because a present fell on his head (a very heavy one too, for it was for him).


It's time, it's time to sing an special Australian song...

Australian Christmas is very different to a Polish one.We tend to eat cold meats like ham and chicken with salads and have as sweets pavlova and ice cream. (Do your readers know what a pavlova is?)We do like our plum pudding and custard though especially if the custard is brandy custard. Santa is pretty clever using kangaroos to pull his sleigh. Merry Christmas Karolina, Amelia bedelia, Renata and Jacek.
