Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Two)

I'd say, it's not so much that it's ignored, but more that it's just part of the general Christmas atmosphere (as an Australian). It's like, what I associate with Christmas is that very feeling of incongruity - singing Winter Wonderland and sending people cards emblazoned with snowmen when you're sweating in shorts and a singlet, decorating a brightly green pine tree with glitzy tinsel and baubles all colours of the rainbow when the grass is yellowing outside and most of the trees around are grey-green gums, then sitting down at for Christmas lunch on a 40 degree day and tucking into hot Christmas ham and stuffed chicken and roast potatoes (with cold dishes as well, of course).

It all goes hand in hand with the fact that celebrating Christmas, a holy, religious day, is so important to me even though I'm pretty strongly agnostic at best. It's just what Christmas is, to me :)
