    I spent Christmas one time in Australia. It was surreal. I don’t think I’d ever get used to that, so, not me.

      I often wonder if people who live in Australia feel a similar way considering how Christmas time is typically depicted.

        Aussie here, to me xmas = summer time. Xmas movies always felt irrelevant, and the idea of Santa wearing all his gear is mental when it’s often 40C+ and humid af.

        Being cold would feel alien that time of year, even more so if it snowed because that doesn’t happen in 99% of the country regardless of the time of year.

          Lol yup, total opposite! Plus the prevalence of North American/Hollywood movies/shows usually depict snowy Christmas.
