Christmas for me is as much about Christmas as the period leading up to it with the traditional German Advent - for 4 sundays prior to Christmas you light a candle, starting with 1, 2 3 and last sunday before 4 candles. It's about the smell of baking cookies, cold winterevenings, mulled wine.
Christmas for me is about family getting together, enjoying some downtime.
Since I moved to Australia, I only partake in Christmas when I get to go home to Germany. I grew up with real Christmastrees with real beewax candles. Christmas at 40 degrees Celcius just doesn't do it for me.
