Australians decorate in any of the following ways:
Christmas in Australia(from various contributors)
Australia is a very typical Western-style culture and so the Christmas preparations are similar to others. The shops are crowded out with people buying gifts, shops stay open later, Christmas cards are written and sent, places of employment have their end of year parties during December, and family Christmas celebrations are planned for the day or days around Christmas. Because December in most of Australia is summertime, outdoor celebrations are common and the food more likely to be relaxed in style.
Many churches have the season of Advent in preparation for Christmas, and many children practice for their parts in Christmas Eve services. Many performances are held of Handel's 'Messiah' both by professional groups and also in communities where anyone can join in. The capital cities all hold well attended Carols By Candlelight events sometimes on the banks of the city's river. Many communities have Christmas Pageants ( parades) in which Father Christmas is usually the last float to arrive. The most notable one is the pageant in Adelaide.
Christmas dinner in Australia varies, often according to which part of Australia one lives in, and one's personal cultural heritage.
Many Australians enjoy a traditional roast turkey, duck or chicken, and roast ham or honey-glazed ham is popular. This may be cooked in an oven, or on the "Weber" barbeque outside, along with roast potatoes, pumpkin and other trimmings.
Others may take to the nearest park or beach, and simply cook up a barbeque there, consisting of a variety of meats.
Prawns, crabs and salads are also very popular. Australians eat more seafood around Christmas time than at any other time of year, with many specialist seafood outlets taking orders for prawns to ensure supply meets demand. Australians do not eat "shrimp on the barbie"; Australians eat prawns, not shrimp, and very few people waste good prawns by throwing them on the barbeque.
For desserts, Christmas cakes based on the heavy fruit cakes and puddings as made in Britain (and usually served with custard, cream or ice cream) are also popular, as are fruit mince pies. The ever-popular pavlova with fresh cream and fruit is often consumed, as are flavoured ice creams and "Christmas logs", made with ice cream, chocolate, nuts and various other things. Trifle is also common, as is fruit salad.
Generally, because Australia is so multi-cultural, there is a wide range of foods available that conform with Christmas traditions the world over.

They get presents, pull Christmas crackers, eat Australian and traditional Christmas food and have fun! It is always warm, very warm and hot around Christmas time because it is Summer.
Depends on their religion, but it's mainly the same as any other western country... give gifts under the Christmas tree, eat a big family dinner etc. The only difference is that its summer there in December!
Christians in Australia celebrate Christmas in different ways. Many of them attend Christmas Eve services (in some denominations and cultural traditions, such as the German Lutherans) and/or Christmas Day services. Christmas Day services in the Protestant churches may be simple celebrations of Jesus's birth, although some churches may have grand litrgical services for this celebration. It differs, according to the denomination.
"Carols by Candlelight" services are held at churches and in communities all around the country in the lead-up to Christmas. Though these are often sponsored by local councils, they are more often promoted by the churches, so have a decidedly Christian theme and flavour to them.
