Everyone has a Christmas trees over here in NZ, never come across or heard of a fir branch on the wall. Eating a hot Christmas lunch is less and less common, people often preferring a BBQ or cold food and trips to the beach are definitely more common than they used to be when I was a child in the 60s, it was all about the roast turkey and vegetables and gravy with all the trimmings back then, and Christmas pud of course, with sixpences in it, my grandmother was rather a traditional woman.
