When all of this is over they go outside and have a game of Cricket or go to the beach for a swim. In poorer areas of Australia, kids expect two or three presents but some get many. Families sometimes venture north or go overseas for Christmas but most stay in Australia and relax in the floods of glorious sunshine. In Queensland where I live, the beaches are incredibly popular, especially down at the Gold Coast. The food is never hot, and many go out for dinner instead of having a heavy lunch.
Many people go to church as well to celebrate and pray.
The next big holiday is the day after, Boxing Day . I'm not sure if you have a similar day in America, but in Australia this is like a day for cleaning up. Everyone helps out to clear the paper and to store it for next year, and the tree is also disassembled. Christmas is the most exciting time of the year. The school kids get six weeks off and all the shops close on Christmas day and Boxing Day.
