Christmas in Australia

AN AUSTRALIAN CHRISTMAS

 

Download our free book about Christmas in Australia.

Our family really loves  Christmas. Here in Australia, it is a great celebration and a wonderful time for families to come together.

Australia is a relatively young country and while we have our own ways of celebrating Christmas such as backyard cricket, beach BBQs and Carols by Candlelight, most of our Christmas traditions and symbols are based on those from the Northern Hemisphere.

I was surprised at just how little I knew about the history and reasons behind these traditions and symbols.  For example, where did the Christmas tree originate? Who created tinsel? Who sent the first Christmas Card? Where was the first Carols by Candlelight service conducted?

I decided to do some research and wrote a little book that describes what I found out. It is most relevant to Christmas here in Australia, but for anyone wanting to know more about the backgroud of Christmas and its traditions, it probably has a lot of useful information.

Please download a free copy of my 54 page booklet titled “Christmas Traditions & Symbols – Christmas in Australia”. If you do so, I would be grateful if you could leave your name and location as a comment so I can see just who might have found this article of interest.

Merry Christmas to you all.
