Whereas the northern hemisphere is in the middle of winter, Australians are baking in summer heat. It is odd to have Christmas Day well into the mid 30 degrees Celsius, or near 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the weeks before Christmas Day, many people beautify their homes with Christmas decorations. These often include a Christmas tree, candles, or small exciting lights, goblet, bauble, glitter, snowmen, fake snow, and figures of Santa Claus in his red fur-trimmed outfit. Typically, Australian decorations are also used. These are glass baubles or wooden ornaments decorated with images of Australian wildlife, such as bibles, koalas, king parrots, Waratah flowers, or Australian landmarks. Small statues of native animals dressed in 'Santa' hats and sleighs pulled by groups of six white kangaroos are popular, as are figures of Santa Claus in beach clothing.
On Christmas Day, children hope to receive Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree from the fabulous figure Santa Claus. In the weeks before Christmas, they were write letters to Santa Claus, What they want on Christmas. Santa Claus knows very well what they want. In some dream or book stories, Santa Claus wears a thick blood red, fur-trimmed suit and travels in a sleigh pulled by reindeer and caribou. In others, he wears shorts and a loose, brightly colored shirt and six white kangaroos pull his sleigh. In some families, individual members also exchange gifts.
