Ok, who’s telling porky pies from you people down under. I’ve just been having a few drinks with some friends earlier and they said they were in NZ one Christmas (Dunedin I think) and it snowed on Christmas Day. Were they having me on? Or have they moved NZ to the northen hemisphere when I wasn’t looking?
I was in Fairbanks Alaska for the summer soltice in 1980. 24 hours of daylight. It was 92 degrees that day and the much anticipated mosquito season was only a few days away.
NZ is a lot further south than most of Australia. It’s possible it snows there even at Christmas time. Or it may have been sheep falling from the sky. You know, sort of like free christmas presents. You never know with those kiwis.
Check out my link to the Bureau of Meteorology (http://www.bom.gov.au) they’ll give you the straight dope about the temp on Christmas day. ALl temperatures in C. I don’t know how to do F. I’m too old to remember.

So, not quite as warm as the last couple of years, but still mighty pleasant.
For a whole year? You’re on.
If you just mean for the festive season, nah, it’s not worth the bother of packaging them up and shipping them while I fly first class 
It snowed in Lithgow (200km north west of Sydney) on Christmas Day one year in the early 70s. The snow did not lie on the ground though. I have been out that way in December and there was a roaring fire going in the pub.
For the Northerners, Christmas in summer for me, like the other Aussies in this thread, is “real” Christmas. Also, it coincides with the six week summer school holidays, so there is a residual childhood comfort feeling of Xmas being carefree. When the Christmas decorations go up, the school year ends. christmas is about burning your feet on the carpark ashphalt and then the sand as you sprint towards the Pacific ocean with the surfboard Santa left for you.
Christmas dinner is cold meat, seafood, salad and beer. Outside. Frequently, this involves standing in the haze from the b®ushfires surrounding the city. In 2001 (a big fire year), Sydney had a black Christmas - it rained charred leaves as we ate and drank outside in the smoke haze. Very surreal and cool. Possibly the most surreal thing for a visiting Northerner would be that the retailers here insist on a traditional Christmas, so fake snow abounds in the malls. Being a shopping mall Santa is a hot, sweaty job.

8 hours and 56 minutes of daylight where I live (Boise, Idaho).
Makes mental note to pull up this thread in June when situations are reversed and am no longer huddled under electric blanket freezing butt off . . .

Now, now lavenderlemon no need to be bitter 
Yeah, I kind of figured that (or June, even) but I was just wondering if there were any.
This thread reminds me to look at the this site.

Cool site Yeticus. Particularly the map.
In July, we northerners shall have our revenge!
Well, I’m sitting in front of the 'puter in shorts and no shirt at all. In July, it might be jeans and a t-shirt indoors. Might put the heater on for an hour or two if I really have to, and just a light jacket if I go out.
July in Sydney isn’t all that cold. I don’t have any heating installed in my house and I leave all the windows open throughout winter. I just put on a sweater. Occasionally I pull a small fan-heater out of the cupboard and turn it on to warm up a room, although I didn’t use it all during this year’s winter.
