So what traditions do we have in the UK that never made it to OZ? Christmas Trees, Panto's, Chundering in a hedge - are they normal?

Plus, what Ozzie ones have never made it here? Having a swim on the beach?

None of my partners family do the 'stocking' thing... don't know if this is the norm or just their family!!

The Bloke's family aren't into that either, so maybe its not a Qld custom. I did a Christmas stocking full of little presents for him last Christmas- they all thought I was bonkers!

Christmas Trees and Panto's are here in OZ, athough not many Panto's.

Chundering in a hedge, well, not sure about that

Growing up, we didnt have the "stocking".....we had the Christmas pillow case.....

Mum decorated them with her hobbytex pens and on Christmas Eve we would put them on the end of our bed and in the morning they were full of little gifts and sweets and things.

Thank gawd Hobbytex went out of fashion, is all I can say.....

Changing the topic a touch, did you know Australia used to 'celebrate' Guy Fawkes night as they still do in UK?
