Aside from the beach going, the traditional Christmas foods are also unlike any that one may be used to. The main dish here does not rely on well-preserved pork, or turkey or any other bird but grilled prawns. Accompanied sometimes by the Christmas ham, there is nothing more specific than prawns. I’ve learned that they are in season, together with mangos and kiwi. Eating seasonal is extremely important here.

And the desert to top it all, the Pavlova which soon, after having its name imported, became an Australian tradition. A huge meringue ball covered in whipped cream and decorated with sweet berries of all kinds.

Some things though never change. Laughter, family, kids full of expectations of well-awaited gifts are everywhere.
