I always interpreted it as more of a this is a horrible thing that happened , let ' s recognize and remember it type of thing <| sep |> Its just how Santa vacations away from the cold . Picture this A 40 C 104 F day Bondi Beach . Dressed in his best Hawaiian button up , speedo ' s , thongsflipflops while smashing tinnies of XXXX or Carlton draught and maybe even emu bitter if he truly is a fuckhead . Half cut floggin it around hooning in his piece of shit clubby shouting at all the half dressed underaged sheilas . All while Mrs . Clause is riding shotgun trying to roll a champion ruby but is as useless as tits on a bull . She is so munted from the past 12 hours of golden oak and domestic violence she can only really manage to scream over the phone to the Ugly fakkin bush pigs at centerlink because she never got her pension and fuck me blue , she was really giving old mate on the phone a ear full . So yeah . It is different . but thats just what us Australians are used too . Christmas day we drink until you cant feel the heat and as a familysocial gathering all get to witness any parents be pressured into letting the young ones have a sip of whatever alcohol was cheapest . Or if you ' re like me any grog you hopefully had around the house because you didnt realise all the bottleO ' s are shut Christmas day . Every fucking year and i always forget . I am 100 % tapped . So . its not that different right ?
