Yes, it is. Australia has 3 main time zones, but in summer, which is when Christmas falls in Australia, there are five time zones due to all but one of the eastern states and one of the territories following daylight saving time. From October to March, New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania, see Christmas arrive 11 hours ahead of the UK, because they follow Australian Eastern Daylight Time. Queensland, the state in the northeast, sees Christmas 10 hours ahead of the UK because it still operates on Australian Eastern Standard time, or AEST. Western Australia, the state that occupies the entire western third of the continent, greets Christmas 8 hours ahead of the UK in summer. South Australia has Christmas 10.5 hours earlier than the UK because it follows Central Daylight time, also known as Central Summer time. The Northern Territory has Christmas 9.5 hours ahead of the UK because it follows Australian Central Standard time rather than daylight saving.
Australian households begin putting up their Christmas decorations any time after the beginning of December. However, shopping centres sometimes begin their Christmas displays as early as September, as there are no other major holidays between the beginning of Spring and Christmas.
There are no folk tales or "yarns" passed down from one Australian generation to the next that pertain particularly to Christmas. Individual famines, of course, have their own stories to tell, but Australia does not have the folklore that much older countries have. However, there are always variations on the Christmas nativity, featuring drovers, swagmen or bushmen, and the occasional Australian native animal, and a Christmas miracle that occurs in the remote outback.
Christmas in Honduras is a remarkable holiday. This is the one time of the year where families try to come together. In Catholic families, Christmas is celebrated on December 24th, and traditional families go to Midnight Mass and then get together for what is known as "Cena Navideña" or Christmas Dinner. This meal includes "tamales", roasted pork, roasted turkey and the traditional "torrejas" for dessert. It is a time of rejoicing. Homes are brightly decorated and most families put up a "Nacimiento" or Nativity scene which in smaller towns or very traditional families can take up an entire room.
