澳大利亞：火熱的圣誕節(jié)
慶祝日期：12月25日
Santa Claus? Yes, but more prone to wearing sunglasses and fur-trimmed red shorts.
圣誕老人？當(dāng)然不可或缺，但是澳大利亞的圣誕老人更傾向于戴著太陽鏡，穿著毛邊紅色短褲。
Food: A vast roast turkey is not so appealing in 40°C heat, but some still go for it. Others serve it cold. Prawns are also popular.
食物：在40攝氏度的高溫天氣里，巨大的烤火雞可不那么受歡迎。不過還是有人會享用。其他人會做涼拌火雞來慶祝節(jié)日。大蝦也很受歡迎。
Notes: A summer Yuletide feels a bit back-to-front for us Northern Hemisphere chauvinists, but Christmas Day on Bondi Beach is something to behold. Otherwise, it is much like a British or American Christmas – gifts, food, family, TV, booze and arguments all make their appearances.
備注：夏季圣誕節(jié)跟我們北半球的圣誕節(jié)相比有點兒相反，但是去邦代海灘過圣誕還是很有看頭。另外，跟英國或美國的圣誕節(jié)一樣，澳大利亞圣誕節(jié)也有禮物、食物、家人、電視、痛飲和暢談。
