Boff uv em!
A'yep, Christmas down under is a mite confusin' for someone from the northern realms. I just sort of watch it sail...on....by on it's surfboard - and eat lots of Christmas Cake (I know it's the right season 'cause those nice red boxes appear in the shops). 
And while cruising the interwebs I found this, in case anyone is here like "Roman" and wondering what to do with all this seasonal sunshine.

I've always wondered if he strips down to his skivvies or maybe a Hawaiian shirt and shorts when he's down under.
I am SMAUG! I kill when I wish! I am strong, strong, STRONG!
My armor is like tenfold shields! My teeth like swords! My claws, spears!
The shock of my tail, a thunderbolt! My wings, a hurricane! And my breath, death!

so was not surprised at all by Kiwis celebrating summer and Santa. They, on the other hand, were quite surprised by the cold weather we had (including snowfall on South Island in late November).

So we had "normal" northern hemisphere seasons in that it got "cold" (60s vs. 80s or 90s) in the winter months but Santa didn't bother with fur (or even a shirt for that matter!) and came in on surfboard instead of sleigh. I think he let the reindeer graze while he delivered presents ...
