While Australian’s celebrate Christmas on 25 December, the yearly festivities held around 25 July are an added bonus of the Christmas spirit set in the holiday’s true season of winter. Here are a few ways you can celebrate.
1. Throw a Yuletide party.
The long nights and cold days can make winter a dreary time for many. Bring warmth and joy back into the chilly season by hosting a Christmas themed party, complete with decorations, carols and delicious holiday themed foods.
2. Go ice-skating.
There might not be fluffy white snow coating the ground, or naturally frozen lakes of ice, but there are ice-skating rinks! Pack on the protective gear and some thermals and head to your nearest ice rink to experience the magic of gliding along the ice.
3. Have a Christmas movie marathon.
Pick a particularly frosty winter night to sit snuggled under some blankets with your favourite Christmas movies. Extra points if you’re snacking on homemade gingerbread men while you watch.
