What is Christmas Like In Australia?

Christmas is great, usually sunny for the barbie. $250 Aussie dollars is enough to go shopping for maybe a day!!

christmas is nothing like usa,well i only no usa christmas from tv but,,it seems to get less an less like christmas every year in oz ,,but that could be becaus im not ten years old anymore,,,and for your 250bux,..well i dont no how much stuf is in usa..but to go to the movies here is about 15 or so bux,an clothes vary store to store,t,shirts can be 9,95 up to 59,95. so i dunno,,,i just bought season 3 of lost yesterday for 59,95,,oh yeah cristmas is summer here,,,,,,,,,,

Well I'm from Perth, Western Australia and all I can say is that it's freaking HOT HOT HOT to the point where you just wanna scream sometimes lol. Last Boxing Day (26th dec) we were the hottest place in the world that day, it was crazy. I'd love a white xmas.

$250 I hope is your pocket money cause you are a kid, have fun sweetie. Christmas in Australia is HOT and be achy, and BBQ;'s and water fights and ice blocks and cold cold drinks and watermelon and more mangoes than you could eat in a lifetime, think salad and prawns and sunblock and a hat and lots of good times and laughs. Our dollar is very competitive to the US at the moment 1 Aussie dollar is about 5 cents difference to yours. I am glad you are too excited for this trip! You will have a lovely time! Bring swimmers!

my grandma went to america recently and she said things were alot cheaper there if you're just buying vegemite and stuff like that, nothing too crazy you should be fine i imagine you'd get about 200 american dollars worth of stuff in australia oh and what's christmas like well it's warm, we eat similar foods like roasts we also have the barbie going and have prawns we eat cherries ...christmas is good

You sound like a decent person if you like vegemite, lol. I love vegemite too. Anyway, Christmas is very hot as it is in summer. Make sure that if you go out in the sun put some suncream on as you WILL get sunburnt pretty quickly over here. It is the best time of the year, the weather is hot, the birds and the bugs are out with the snakes and spiders, lol. The food tastes better and the drinks are that cold you can't hold em. $250 will go a little way if you are buying souvenirs, and vegemite etc. A jar of vegemite costs around $5. If you have never had a "Violet Crumble" (Purple Shiny Wrapper) (Chocolate Honeycomb Bar) find one at any supermarket chocolate aisle and get one, Yummmo. Have fun when you are here.

FOr me, there are 2 Christmases in Australia. one that falls in Summer and the other in Winter (also known as Christmas in July. I experienced this when i stayed at Blue Mountains for a time). The first one, is a great time for partying and other outdoor fun. Many festivals are celebrated during this season. Friends and families are out for picnic and recreational activities. The second one is equally nice as well. It falls during the winter so there's snow everywhere. and though it is celebrated in the months between june and aug/sept, you can still feel the spirit of Christmas because everywhere is decorated with lights and holiday ornaments. With $250, you couldnt get that far if you stay in a luxury hotel. I suggest you get cheap but really nice lodges/motor inns. You wouldn't have a hard time finding one since there's lots of 'em in Aussie, especially in the cities. Good luck. i hope you have a wonderful time
