People here in oz celebrate their Christmas the same as everywhere else. Shopping...shopping, Christmas trees, Christmas decorations (some really do decorate), presents, family Christmas dinner and opening presents and of course go to church. No 'open' house...I'm sure of that but there will invite relatives and friends to their parties. One of the most popular spot to spend Christmas & Boxing Day here in ozzie is the beach. No white or snow Christmas here...it's hot but this year it might not be too hot. Always be prepared to bring along a warm clothing or at least scarf when you go out because the weather can change very quickly. It can be very hot and sticky in the morning and cold wind in the afternoon.
Every year on Boxing Day, some of the big stores offer post Christmas big sale and people get up as early as 5am to queue waiting for the shop to open around ... maybe 8am. If I remember I might go and get some photos or video of this.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
