Christmas in Australia was nothing like Christmas at home. Christmas Eve we had a BBQ outside and ate together then we sang some normal Christmas carols and some Aussie ones too. Christmas Day we woke up and all went to the same church. When church was over we came back to our house and opened gifts from home, stockings and our secret santa gifts. I got a video camera from the Yeos, a Rider t-shirt that is more like a dress, 2 teddy bears, heaps of candy, Tim Hortons Hot Chocolate and an ornament that says dream on it. After gifts, we had a small lunch and then had some fun in the sun. We made a slip and slide in the backyard and played out there all afternoon. Then it started to rain. For Christmas Dinner we had honey glazed ham, turkey, chicken, twice baked potatoes and steamed broccoli and cauliflower. It was amazing. For dessert we had apple crumble, pudding and a few different types of cakes. After dinner and dessert, we had a talent show. It was super funny. On Boxing Day we were supposed to go to a beach, but it was too cold and rainy so instead we watched movies, played ping pong and card games. Overall, it didn’t feel like Christmas at all and still doesn’t feel like it was Christmas. But it was lots of fun and a nice break of rountine.
Only 3 more weeks left in Australia for me, then off to New Zealand!
