Since I don't feel like sitting at home doing absolutely nothing over christmas I have decided to stay here in Australia. I will stay at a hotel downtown and keep writing about christmas itself, all by myself. Here in Australia, it isn't exactly cold. It's christmas day now, and it's 28 degrees Celsius! Sarah's family invited me to spend christmas with them and I said yes. I am very much looking forward to this!

So I just came home from Sarah's house, and my god! The food was amazing! We ate turkey, ham, pork, some sort of plum pudding and Mince pies. The plum pudding is delicious. I told them what we ate here in Sweden, and they laughed. The Swedish christmas food is most offently Ham, Sill(Fish), and meatballs. I was a bit surpsrised that they don't have a christmas tree, they have a "christmas bush". It's a little plant with little read flowers. Just as in Sweden, they get their presents on Christmas morning, and a few on the evening. Santa comes to the kds in Australia aswell. Most christmas traditions comes from Britian since they came to Australia as captives and wounded soilders.

I didn't mention where she lived now did I? They live in Melbourne. Here, they have a tradition called, Carols by Candlelight. Many, many people gather around and sing their favourite christmas carols by midnight. Every lights candles to. This was really cool to be a part of. This tradition commenced at 1937 in Melbourne. We all had  a great time.

I hope you all have a great holiday in Sweden and that you get many presents! I got a ticets to a event in Belgium at new years eve called The Final Qountdown. Me and Sarah are going together.
