You see people in movies celebrating a white Christmas in England or the United States. But Christmas in Australia is different.
Australians celebrate the holiday on Dec.25th. It is at the hottest time of the year in Australia. The temperature is usually about 30°C in most cities and can even be over 40°C．There is certainly no white Christmas in Australia.
Because it is so hot, the tradition is to have a lunch outside and to swim in the pool or beach. Most people have a one－week holiday during this time, so they will travel to meet their family for Christmas lunch. Christmas lunch is usually a big meal of ham, turkey, salad and fresh seafood. Family members all cook something different and bring it to the big meal. I always enjoy Christmas lunch because there are lots of good cooks in my family. One year my aunt even made a delicious gingerbread house(姜饼屋) for us to eat as desert.
Children get presents from Santa Claus and are always excited to play with them. It is a fun time to play or swim in the pool with the other members of your family.
The sport of cricket(板球) is very popular in Australia and another tradition is to play a game of cricket in your backyard. I always enjoyed playing with my uncle and cousins when I was growing up.
So Australia might not have a white Christmas. But it is still a very exciting and fun time of the year.

April Fool’s Day is coming! But do you know how April Fool’s Day comes
In the sixteenth century in France, the start of the New Year was on April 1st. People celebrated the New Year in the same way as it is today. They held parties and danced into the late night.
Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar into the Christian(基督教的)world, and the new year fell on January 1st. Some people didn’t believe the change in the date, so they celebrated the New Year on April 1st. Others played tricks on them and called them “April fools”.
Today Americans play small tricks on friends on the first day of April. One common trick on April Fool’s Day is pointing down to a friend’s shoe and saying, “Your shoelace is untied.” School children like to tell a classmate that there are no classes. Then if someone believes the trick, he or she will be called the “April fool”! People play tricks on each other only because they want to enjoy themselves together. Most jokes are really funny and people play tricks not to hurt anyone but to find happiness.

You see people in movies celebrating a white Christmas in England or the United States. But Christmas in Australia is different.
Australians celebrate the holiday on Dec.25th. It is at the hottest time of the year in Australia. The temperature is usually about 30°C in most cities and can even be over 40°C．There is certainly no white Christmas in Australia.
Because it is so hot, the tradition is to have a lunch outside and to swim in the pool or beach. Most people have a one－week holiday during this time, so they will travel to meet their family for Christmas lunch. Christmas lunch is usually a big meal of ham, turkey, salad and fresh seafood. Family members all cook something different and bring it to the big meal. I always enjoy Christmas lunch because there are lots of good cooks in my family. One year my aunt even made a delicious gingerbread house(姜饼屋) for us to eat as desert.
Children get presents from Santa Claus and are always excited to play with them. It is a fun time to play or swim in the pool with the other members of your family.
The sport of cricket(板球) is very popular in Australia and another tradition is to play a game of cricket in your backyard. I always enjoyed playing with my uncle and cousins when I was growing up.
So Australia might not have a white Christmas. But it is still a very exciting and fun time of the year.

April Fool’s Day is coming! But do you know how April Fool’s Day comes
In the sixteenth century in France, the start of the New Year was on April 1st. People celebrated the New Year in the same way as it is today. They held parties and danced into the late night.
Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar into the Christian(基督教的)world, and the new year fell on January 1st. Some people didn’t believe the change in the date, so they celebrated the New Year on April 1st. Others played tricks on them and called them “April fools”.
Today Americans play small tricks on friends on the first day of April. One common trick on April Fool’s Day is pointing down to a friend’s shoe and saying, “Your shoelace is untied.” School children like to tell a classmate that there are no classes. Then if someone believes the trick, he or she will be called the “April fool”! People play tricks on each other only because they want to enjoy themselves together. Most jokes are really funny and people play tricks not to hurt anyone but to find happiness.
