To this day, however, it remains a pipe dream for Australians. Cheerful Santa in a warm fur coat does not fit into the heat of Australia, so the locals came up with their own way out of the situation. How is Christmas celebrated in Australia? Australian Christmas takes place mostly on the beach. These days, kids ride surfboards and build fortresses out of sand, not snow. The most common Christmas present in this country is a regular beach towel. The opening of the Christmas Parade takes place in mid-November. when Santa traditionally enters the capital Adelaide. All this takes place in the spirit of the Brazilian carnival, when a procession of themed platforms, beautifully dressed, accompanied by brass bands, takes place on the street. Here the procession is accompanied by several dozen clowns, pirates and other fairy-tale heroes. Thousands of Australians and tourists come to watch this procession. The procession ends with a reindeer cart on which Santa Claus sits. The Christmas Parade stops at a large shopping mall where Santa gets off the cart and goes to the Magic Cave, where he will stay until Christmas. Those wishing to visit Santa in the cave are allowed to come in and take a photo with him as a souvenir. But! This is all just the beginning of Christmas!
