Christmas in Australia

In Australia, Christmas is celebrated in summer. It is very hot there around that time of year. 

Because of this, Aussies celebrate Christmas a little differently than our "traditional" Christmas.

In Australia, Santa sometimes brings presents in a sleigh (slee) pulled by white kangaroos.

Your homework for tomorrow is:

Take picture as if you were celebrating Christmas in Australia.

Notice:

The flipflops, shorts, tanktop? It's hot outside!

Beach towel and sunglasses

Christmas tree and Christmas hat

Homework

Take picture as if you were celebrating Christmas in Australia.

Beach, sunglasses, cold drinks, BBQ

But also Christmas elements like a Santa Hat, Christmas tree, Christmas cookies etc.

And don't worry, the only one who is going to see the picture is your teacher. You do not need to do a presentation in front of the whole class.

If you don't celebrate Christmas at home, you can simply take a picture as if you were in Australia (so it's hot outside!) and leave out the Christmas elements.
