ELLAS QUESTION MY ANSWER

Ella asks What is it like to have Christmas in the summer?

Interesting question Ella.  We have always experienced Christmas in summer down here, so we don't know any different.

I suppose our celebrations might be different compared to other countries where its cold or snowing.  The weather can go from one extreme to the other though. Sometimes we are celebrating Christmas with a cold chilly day, others it can be stinking hot. 

My family used to make a traditional Christmas meal of roast meat, either turkey or chicken with roast vegetables. Followed by Christmas  pudding, custard and cream.  Sitting there on really hot days trying to act cool  whilst eating HOT meals wasn't our idea of fun.

Over the years our tastes have changed, now we basically have cold meat or a bbq, with  salads followed by pavlova.

Much better on days when the temperature can reach up to 40c/104f.

Afterwards some people relax by playing beach cricket.

Cheers Ella!

This is the part you'd enjoy, sipping on a nice cold beer, chillaxing. 

As we don't have snow, farmers in the area decorate hay bales in various ways. Each year they seem to do a different thing and now its become a competition to see who can decorate the best.

Although I do enjoy our summer Christmas, I'd really love to experience a white Christmas. I think that would be so wonderful. I guess we always want the opposite. LOL!

Thank you for your question Ella, I hope this answered it for you.  It was fun thinking about it and comparing.
