The funnyman went on to describe how 'the whole country' becomes involved in the tradition. 'it's known as 'Chrissy-New Years'.

'In the morning you wake up, the kids will open their presents and you have a beer. The food then comes out, the first thing out is prawns. Australian comedian Monty Franklin (pictured) has whipped his overseas fans into a frenzy after he took to social media to describe what a typical Aussie Christmas celebration looks like.
'It's pretty much like American Christmas, except there is going to be something that is "off". Why is the turkey a ham, why is everything cold, why are there paper crowns, why are we eating outside?. 'These are just Australian traditions! The food is really just there to mop up all the beers you are drinking. Christmas is the one time you can drink 700 Crownies (beers) and not be labelled a pervert!'.
