Just to quell the 'homesick', 'miss family' etc etc threads....

Re: C'mon Aussie C'mon
I'm not sure how I will take to the Aussie xmas when I'm there next year.
I love xmas - carols, opening prezzies, the food and wine the excitement, the traditions.
However I hate the commercialism. We have to buy for so many people it has become a financial strain. :scared:
I think when I'm in Oz I will have to create some new traditions and go back to basics almost.
On another thread someone mentioned carols by candlelight. That really appeals to me. The thought of seafood and champers sounds good too.
Does anyone know any other Aussie xmas traditions?
