  Australian Xmas customs? What do we do that’s specifically Australia? Prawns, booze, and pool beers?

    Australian xmas is a mishmash, you take cold traditions and make them warm, the food is similar but different, outdoor sports or swimming are common, it’s easy to get around

    For my money breakie and presents with one family then lunch with another, prawns from the barbie, roast ham served cold with salad, beers by the pool and backyard cricket make for a distinctly Australian xmas

    If that’s just a Winter Xmas to people from the Northern Hemisphere I’d be surprised

      U forgot the most Australian of traditions. Getting drunk while doing all of the above.
