Celebrating Christmas in Australia is on the 25th of December, usually people visits their relatives, exchanging gifts, having a great Turkey and Ham for lunch or dinner, Going to the beach w/ the family, BBQs, Beer, Champagne, wine and all other kinds of alcohol... =) Santa Claus is everywhere, in the malls, fastfoods and even on the streets :D Kids must be good coz Santa knows if you're Bad or good :) There will be a lots of gifts giving here in Aus... 26th of December is a special day in Australia, THE BOXING DAY!!!! It means you have to be ready for your credit card to max out! It's a SHOPPING day!!! so everyone's in the mall on this day...
while the Christmas in Philippines is really fun for me, When the month of December comes, you will be very busy celebrating the Christmas party every weekend... Like the office party, barkada party and another barkada party. also shopping for christmas gifts to inaanak means godson and goddaughters.. I had a pretty long list for that myself. We prepared ourselves on the 24th of December. There's a mass around 10:00 in the evening in the Church and will celebrate it w/ Noche Buena at 12:00mn of 25th of December... Then some peeps there will have firecrackers in front of their house.. that was the fun side... and the relatives too are all there... We have the manito manita thing like the exchanging gifts, Lechon, fruit salad, chicken salad, cake and of course Red horse for the teenagers.. haha Tuba for those who live in provinces... Tequila, Gilbeys, gin and etc... then on the day of Christmas, everyone walked up so late w/ hangover (for those who had much drinks) coz they've been celebrating it early... and it will resume on the arvo of Christmas day.. :D
Well in every country, there's a lot of difference on celebrating Christmas but one thing that's common is we're celebrating it for JESUS... HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
