On what days does the Christmas season start and end in Australia?
Some traditional churches in Australia begin the Christmas season with Advent (four Sundays before Christmas) and carry the Christmas season through to Epiphany, on 6 January. This is really only seen in Roman Catholic and Lutheran churches, and some Anglican churches. However, the vast majority of Australian people start celebrating Christmas anytime they feel like it in December, and finish it on 26 December, which is the BoxingDay holiday. Many businesses do not get back to normal until 2 January, after the New Year's Day holiday.
How is Christmas celebrated in England?
A few days before Christmas, families put upChristmas Trees (fir trees with lights) and Christmas Decorations, including holly and mistletoe. Standing under mistletoe is traditionally associated with kissing.The biggest tradition is for families to meet and have Christmas Lunch together - roast turkey etc. and Christmas Pudding, generally eaten late in the afternoon of Christmas Day. This is a heavy meal and most people eat and drink too much. In the afternoon, some families watch the Queen's Christmas Speech on television. They also play games and watch other television programmes.Families exchange Christmas Presents on Christmas Day.Some days earlier they will have sent Christmas Cards.Children receive presents the night before Christmas delivered by Father Christmas (Santa Claus) on his sleigh drawn by reindeer.We also sing Christmas Carols.The holiday may last a few days and always includes BoxingDay (26 December) when the food is probably leftover turkey.(Back in Victorian times, middle class people gave little presents to their servants in boxes on Boxing Day.)
