amanda, I read (only the other day), that most people don't expect their children to ever see a white Christmas. I've tried to google it and drawn a blank. So it couldn't have been a big survey. However, I found the above link.
Our "traditions" have strange origins. eg Santa's red robes are courtesy of coca cola marketing.

I was a coal bagger for twenty odd years I hated snow then and I still hate it.
Just try carrying 1cwt coal bags all day in the snow it must be one of the hardest things to do for a living.

Absoloutely zero chance in Oz. Probably be about 30C on the day.
Don't like a hot Christmas, but then not too fussed about a freezing cold one either - not when you have to go out to work at least.
No turkey and roast vegies for me this year. Have to settle for some seafood and salads and plenty of vino.
