Christmas Cultural Comparison Worksheet
Reading: Two ways to celebrate in December
December arrives with long, warm days in Australia. On Christmas Day, Arjun's family sets a table outside under the shade. They share prawns, salads and pavlova, then play a backyard game. Arjun's cousins visit from overseas, where December is cold. They tell her that their family usually eats a roast meal indoors and wears warm clothes. Arjun notices that the season changes the way each family plans its day. Both families enjoy a special meal and time together, but not every Australian celebrates Christmas. In another part of Arjun's neighbourhood, her friend Amir is preparing for Eid al-Fitr with his family. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a month when many Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. The date of Eid changes from year to year because it follows the Islamic lunar calendar. Amir's family will visit relatives, share festive food and give to people in need. They are looking forward to prayer and catching up with loved ones. Arjun sees that Christmas and Eid have different meanings and dates, yet both can bring people together. She asks Amir about his family's plans, and he asks her about the pavlova.
