We've already told you how Australians celebrate Christmas and which dishes are part of their meal. During an exchange program, it's natural and important to acquire some of the habits of our "aussie" friends, as this is part of the experience. But if you want to have a traditional Brazilian Christmas dinner, don't worry, it's possible! And to make your search in the supermarkets easier, we've put together a special list of Christmas vocabulary:
