I'm puzzled. I'm from New Zealand, although I'm currently living in the UK. To satisfy your curiosity I think most people have BBQ's. Our family tends to have a Christmas roast lunch indoors and go outside afterwards. So it is kind of weird. I feel sorry for the people wandering around in Santa suits, they must be melting in those things! So Christmas seems wrong, on the other hand, it's definetly better having New Years Eve in the middle of summer. |
