Customs vary from one nation to another and so, Christmas celebration in Australia is highly culturally diversed.
The original mode of Christmas celebration in Australia owes its origin to Anglo-Celtic influences. The flavor of Christmas celebration underwent sea changes with the passage of time. Nowadays, Christmas means record breaking sells of the shopping malls, theme parties, children waiting for Santa Clause to coming up with the gifts, Christmas tree decoration,...This proves that we are living in an era of consumerism. Even children are learning Christmas carols by heart not for keeping the Christmas spirit alive but for performing in Christmas social parties or school concerts.
