Forget about Santa’s Sleigh in the snow, it is stinking hot in Australia around Christmas time. I find it kind of hilarious to walk into a shopping center and see a big display with Christmas trees, a snow man, fake snow and Santa Claus absolutely sweating his bum off in his big red suit. It just really looks out of place and unreal.Somehow it just doesn’t feel right. Even though they start to play Christmas songs in October and all shops are beautifully decorated with Christmas ornaments and lights, it just doesn’t bring me in the Christmas spirit. If anything it makes me really home sick.

Christmas in Australia is having a BBQ on the beach, sweating your bum off in the hot weather. It is nice to experience once, but not every year. I’d rather be with my family on the other side of the world.
