In Australia at this time of year, it’s pretty difficult to avoid anything Christmas.

Every store is decked out with decorations, gifts, Christmas related food items, carols play on the PA system and some even have a resident Santa.

It’s the focus of end of year work parties, school events and concerts… but what if you don't celebrate it?

Today we speak to three people who do not get into the Christmas spirit (well not entirely), how they feel being surrounded by it 24/7 and what the last few weeks of the year look like for them here in a multicultural but very Christmas heavy Australia.
