COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS: Day 2 of 7

CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD

It’s no surprise that all around the world people are gearing up for Christmas, what might be a surprise is how they celebrate it! Everywhere you go, Christmas is celebrated differently and traditions are different. What sparked this post for me is when I remembered that the southern hemisphere of the world is having summer right now, so Christmas is associated with summer for them! Super weird to me, but to them, a cold Christmas is weird!

Here are how some nations across the world celebrate Christmas

Australia

For Australians, Christmas comes at the beginning of summer holidays! Schools are out from mid December to February. People spend Christmas time outside, camping, around a fire, at the beach, barbecuing, etc. People still use trees and lights to decorate. Santa doesn’t use reindeer here, he’s said to use kangaroos!
