You see people in movies celebrating a white Christmas in England or the United States. But Christmas in Australia is different.

The holiday, celebrated on Dec 25, comes at the hottest time of the year in Australia. The temperature is usually about 30°C in most cities and can even be over 40°C. There is certainly no white Christmas in Australia.

Because it is so hot, the tradition is to have a lunch outside and to swim in the pool or beach. (A) Most people have a one-week holiday during this time, so they will travel to meet their family for Christmas lunch. Christmas lunch is usually a big meal of ham, turkey, salad and fresh seafood. Family members all cook something different to bring to a big meal . I always enjoy Christmas lunch because there are lots of good cooks in the family. One year my aunt even made a delicious gingerbread house(姜饼屋) that we ate for desert.

Children get presents from “Santa Claus” and are always excited to play with them. (B) It is a fun time to play or swim in the pool with the other members of your family.

The sport of cricket(板球) is very popular in Australia and another tradition is to play a game of cricket in your backyard. So the children were playing cricket(C) __________parents were watching it in the backyard. So I always enjoyed playing with cousins when I was growing up.

So Australia might not have a white Christmas. But it is still a very exciting and fun time of the year.
