This Is What Happened When We Showed Non-Australians Photos Of Aussie Christmas
“I’m getting the impression Christmas is way, WAY better in Australia.”
BuzzFeed Australia sent a bunch of uncaptioned photos of Australian Christmas traditions to our international colleagues and asked them to write down their immediate thoughts. This is what happened...
Backyard cricket.
Odilon (France): You guys must be freezi... OH WAIT.
Victor (Russia): Would be more fun if you were using not a real ball, but food!
Hilary (UK): Playing cricket is never fun, so to do it on Christmas Day is tantamount to child abuse. Is this what Santa does to kids who have been naughty instead of nice?
Luke (UK): Physical activity at Christmas? WTF? Christmas for Brits is a week-long orgy of Baileys-soaked, sofa-bound indolence. You're not supposed to work up a sweat.
Adam (US): Cricket doesn't make sense to me at any time of year, let alone on Christmas.
Chelsea (US): Are they playing baseball?
Keely (US): This looks like a frat party. Why are we having a frat party on the birth of Jesus?
Water fights.
Odilon (France): This one kinda gets me jealous... but then again, can you make snowball battles? I didn't think so.
Victor (Russia): I guess it's just a regular weekend in Australia, not a special Christmas tradition.
Laura (UK): Does everything in Australia look like a still from Neighbours?
Hilary (UK): This looks like people trying to do the ice bucket challenge, but you don't have ice in Australia because it's too hot so you're using boiling water instead, you crazy, crazy sods.
Adam (US): This is literally just a waterfight. What does this have to do with Jesus?
Elaina (US): I'm just worried about those glasses that are mid-air rn.
CBF Christmas "tree".
Odilon (France): OH MY GOD. You Aussies are such show-offs!
Victor (Russia): It's 100% environmentally friendly.
Laura (UK): Pure sadness.
Luke (UK): This just makes me feel bad for you. How can you get cosy and festive when the weather is sweltering?
Elaina (US): It's summer there, so makes sense.
Adam (US): A cool breeze is more important than anything else, imo.
Keely (US): This is a cruel joke.
