It is usually over 30C in Australia on Christmas day, so we often have a cold buffet with ham, turkey and lots of salads. Or we might have a BBQ on the beach and swim most of the day - a game of beach cricket is almost compulsory on Christmas day and if you are not at the beach, we play in the back yard.
In our home, we have a big Christmas eve feast of roast turkey and baked ham with all the trimmings. Then on Christmas day we have a seafood buffet with lots of salads for lunch then we have left overs for dinner (if we are hungry). Christmas morning is always hot cinnamon rolls with coffee while we open presents.
Every year we celebrate Christmas in July - we make it a big feast of all the traditional foods and we have lots of friends over (last year I cooked for about 30 people). I love doing this because we get to experience a cold Christmas, we get to catch up with those dear friends that we don't get to see enough of and I get to have two Christmas's every year...
Cheers
