We don't... but around a quarter of the decorations still manage to have snowflakes or snowmen on them....

Not really. We still sing christmas songs that mention snow, but we don't really associate the two. Although, I'd hardly call what we're going through right now as "summer". It's rained twice today.

Don't forget the awesome thunder storms in the morning. Melbourne here.

Nah, South Australia. The weather is screwed up everywhere though. I don't mind it though :)

I think it's raining basically everywhere in the Southern Hemisphere. I'm in NZ and it's pouring down with rain as well.

It's raining in Perth! What is this?!

We don't. We relate it to heat and more heat and sunburn and ice cream. All the way from South Africa. =]

With current tempertures of 30 degrees celcius in my part of South Africa, no not really. Although most marketing and decorations related to christmas contain snow, snowmen, the usual christmas crap.

Haha yea, what's with the weather at the moment? I'm in jeans and a blanket. For me, I more relate Christmas with rain, it's meant to be summer, but every year it seems to rain...

No, because it's usually so hot. The other day I was shopping and they played the song "Let it snow" and I found it really strange... and like someone before said they still manage to have lots of snowy Christmas decorations.

Living on the sunshine coast in Queensland is a joke Queensland being the "sunshine state" I had a better tan in winter. But I'll admit it's better than being hot and sweaty I had a white Christmas in Denver Colorado 2 years ago.. It was way too cold for my liking

"Sunshine coast" what a load of bs. We've had, I think, about 5 sunny days all summer so far, the rest have been thunderstorms and extreme weather conditions :( no snow here.

haha no, i used to live down there and we would go tk the beach on christmas day! its so different!

I live in the northern hemisphere, but it still doesn't snow. There are a lot of TV specials relating to snow, but we don't really think "OMG Christmas! It's so snowy and wintery!" It's more the decorations and songs. Though we still sing all those snow songs (Let it snow, winter wonderland, white christmas)

I read all of these comments in an Australian accent. Anyway, when I was younger I thought Santa would forget about our island cus no one had a chimney. Yet he still managed to give me presents. What an amazing guy he is.

Nah, I mean, we understand that Christmas is associated with snow in the Northern Hemisphere, but we associate it with the beach and sunshine and bbq's, that sort of stuff.
