Coming from the northern hemisphere, I thought that Christmas in summer in my new home of New Zealand would be really bizarre and I wouldn't be able to get used to it. But instead it felt normal. Santa is usually depicted wearing his usual coat and hat, but instead of trousers, he wears shorts. Note the snowflake pattern on his summer shirt!
雖然我來自北半球，但是我覺得新住處新西蘭的夏季聖誕非常神奇，我沒法兒習慣，不過其實也很是正常的聖誕節。聖誕老人一般都穿傳統的聖誕外套和聖誕帽，不過下半身穿的是短褲而不是長褲，還會穿帶有雪花圖案的夏裝襯衫！
Most people will have a barbecue at home, and go to the beach on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. As it's summer holidays, many companies shut between Christmas and New Year so Christmas Eve is the start of many families' summer holidays, too, and as our schools follow the calendar year, kids are nicely relaxed as they're between school years.
大部分人會在家裏做烤肉吃，還會在聖誕節當天和節禮日（聖誕節次日）去海灘。因爲很多公司都會從聖誕節開始放暑假到新年，所以聖誕夜也相當於很多家庭暑假的開始，而且因爲我們學校是遵循公曆年的，所以孩子們可以在兩個學年間好好放鬆一下。

Germany has a lot of amazing places to visit for Christmas. I lived one year in Regensburg in Bavaria, one of Europe's best kept medieval cities, and it has no less than three Christmas markets! If you're in Bavaria, you should also definitely check out the market in Nürnberg, one of the largest in Germany and bound to put you in a festive mood.
德國有很多超棒的地方，適合在聖誕節觀光。我在巴伐利亞州的雷根斯堡住過一年，這是歐洲保存最完善的中世紀城市之一，而且這裏有至少三個聖誕市場！如果你在巴伐利亞，那你也一定要到紐倫堡的市場去看看，這是德國最大的聖誕市場之一，一定能讓你體驗到聖誕節日氣氛的。
But Germany is not the only country with amazing markets. Switzerland is also full of them, and having lived in Bern I can really recommend visiting the city for Christmas. Another good option is Stein am Rhein on the border with Germany (a two hour drive north into Germany itself will get you to more awesome towns, like Rottweil and Villingen-Schwenningen, as well as the Schwarzwald/Black Forest area with lots of quaint little towns), and the beautiful city of Luzern (Lucerne) on the Vierwaldstätter See (Lake Lucerne).
但是，不只德國有很棒的聖誕市場，瑞士也有很多。我在伯爾尼住過，所以我強烈推薦大家來這座聖誕之城。另一個推薦地點則是德國邊境的寶石小鎮（往北朝德國駕車兩個小時，你會發現更多令人難忘的小鎮，比如羅特維爾和菲林根-施文寧根，還有黑森林地區也有很多別緻的小鎮），還有琉森湖畔的盧塞恩城也很不錯。
Outside of these two countries I'm sure there are loads of other places to see, too, but I'd like to especially mention the German speaking French region of Elsass, and in particular the town of Riquewihr.
我敢肯定除了德國和瑞士以外還有很多值得一看的地方，不過我想特別提一下法國德語區的阿爾薩斯，尤其是裏克威爾小鎮。
