Why do Australians put up Christmas trees?

Answer 1

There are trees in Australia whether it is Christmas or not.However, if the question is asking whether Australians have Christmas trees which they decorate, the answer is "yes". Australians who celebrate the Christmas season have Christmas trees in their homes, while many cities and towns put up a central Christmas tree for the public to enjoy.

Answer 2

Yes. Most Australians do have a Christmas tree in their home during the festive season. As with other countries, people of some religions do not celebrate Christmas, and these people do not have Christmas trees.

As with most countries, Australians have a variety of places from which to choose their Christmas trees.

• Pine trees from Christmas tree farms are sold at various places such as garden nurseries, or distributed by service organisations.
• Australians can also have fake Christmas trees which are made overseas.
• Some Australians opt for living Christmas trees which they keep from year to year until the tree gets too large for the pot.
• Some Australians collect their own tree branch from bushland. Some of Australia's own native pines make effective Christmas trees. In bush towns and outback regions, many Australians are just as happy to drag home a decent gum tree branch. Eucalyptus Christmas trees are uniquely Australian.

Australian Christmas trees may be decorated the same way as those of other countries, but probably with less emphasis on snow-themed decorations. Stars, tinsel, baubles, angels, bells are all common, but of course you can also buy Christmas-themed Australian native animals (such as the Christmas wombat hanging from my own tree...).

Answer 3

Christmas is a recognised celebration in Australia and Christmas trees are part of this. Some people will celebrate Christmas using a real tree while others opt for a store bought version. Most cities and towns will have a decorated Christmas tree that the whole community can view.

Answer 4

Australian Christmas trees may be decorated the same way as those of other countries, but probably with less emphasis on snow-themed decorations. A variety of ornaments are used to decorate the Christmas trees, depending on family tradition, religious beliefs, and personal preferences.

Coloured or white lights are a must, and many of them come with various flashing sequences. At the top of the tree is traditionally a star, though angels are becoming more common with the influence of the United States. Tinsel and thin coloured streamers and ribbon, coloured baubles, striped candy canes, bells, little reindeer and a variety of other decorations are all common. Australians do not use things like popcorn as decorations.

Of course, you can also buy Christmas-themed Australian native animals (such as the Christmas wombat hanging from my own tree...).
