Christmas in New Zealand

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Christmas_in_New_Zealand an entity of type: Thing

Jul i Nya Zeeland präglas av att högtiden infaller under sommaren. I många städer förekommer en jultomteparad med dekorationer och orkestrar samt marscherande flickor, och evenemangen är ofta av kommersiell natur. Många har en julgran hemma, och det har blivit allt populärare att tillaga julmaten med barbecue. Även efterrätter är populära. Julklappspaketen öppnas vanligtvis på juldagens morgon, före julmiddagen. rdf:langString
Christmas traditions in New Zealand are similar to those in Australia. They incorporate a mix of British and North American traditions, such as Christmas symbols featuring winter iconography. However, the timing of Christmas occurring during the Southern Hemisphere's summer season has resulted in the development of some local traditions as a result of the warmer weather. New Zealand Christmas dishes include summer fruits and vegetables, a variety of meats and seafood, and pavlova (a meringue-based dessert popular in Australasia). The New Zealand Christmas tree, the pōhutukawa, is displayed as well as the traditional Northern European tree. rdf:langString

Christmas (Māori: Kirihimete), observed on 25 December, became widely celebrated in the late 19th century among Pākehā (European) settlers. Today, Christmas Day and Boxing Day are both statutory holidays in New Zealand. While Boxing Day is a standard statutory holiday, Christmas Day is one of the few days of the year where all but the most essential businesses and services must close.
