Ozmas is a Christmas celebration in the Australian winter.
Since the 19th Century,[1] European immigrants to Australia have recognised Christmas's roots as a celebration of mid-winter and have explored ways of celebrating the shortest day of the year. The name "Ozmas" comes from combining 'Australia' and 'Christmas'.[2]
