Christmas started as a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Originally a Christian holiday, it has become a celebration for family and friends. On this day it is traditional to decorate your home and place gifts for each other under the tree. Often this day ends with a special meal with family members. This meal is commonly composed of turkey with ham and pork. For dessert there is often a flaming plum pudding.
Christmas falls in the middle of summer holiday, so many people take this as a chance to go away to celebrate with family and friends. As the weather is often scorching around this time it is common to have a full beach day. On Christmas Eve you can find thousands of people gather in Melbourne for Carols by Candlelight. Held every year, it is a time to sing your favourite Christmas songs.
A common tradition is decoration of a Christmas tree. This is where presents are left for family and friends. On Christmas morning it is traditional to pass around these gifts and open them. It is a good time to give a gift that will provide your loved ones with happiness.
