Prof. Jin Hwa Lee

Sol International Healthcare Management Department

26 * He went to Australia in 1999 and came back to Korea in 2016.

Q: What happens to Australia when Christmas comes?
A: It doesn't snow in Australia. Because it's summer, instead of doing white

Christmas, people start decorating their homes with LED lights about a month
ago. Australians prefer decorating house to decorating trees. So at night, the
whole town is lit up in the shape of Santa Claus or Rudolph. Next, Australia has
a very good shopping center. Unlike Korea, the shopping center is three to four
stories high and the center is crooked, so you can install a large tree in the
middle so that you can see it anywhere in the shopping center.

Q.: Have you ever eaten any special Christmas food in Australian?
A: They eat a lot of Turkey in American way, and since Australia is an immigrant

country, they each have their own traditional food. If someone from Europe
invited me, I had a Hungarian food and European food. The food depends on
where I visit. When a Korean invited me, Korean food came out. The food in that
country is usually served according to the nationality of the host.

Q.: Did you remember any Christmas you spent in Australia?
A: Well, I thought the summer Christmas is not very Christmas-like, but I think

it's nice to have all the lights on the LED lights up at night and the whole street
feels like Christmas. There are always trees near the house. They're wrap LED
lights on tree trunks and decorate real trees, not fake Christmas trees. The tree
in front of house... I think it's really cool at night.
Oh, is it 2001? Even though it's never snowing in Australia, people dream of a
white Christmas. I picked up a patch of snow from a place like a local
government where I lived and sprinkled it on the street. To feel the white
Christmas, I think maybe it's an artificial eye made by a poem. But I really liked
being able to see snow.

Q: Usually, Koreans spend Christmas with their lovers or with their
family. How about Australian?

A: I spend time with my family, but I invite my close friends and have a party.

Q. Can you tell me anything about how people celebrate in Christmas?
A. Oh my gosh, our big city like Mexico City, Guanajuato completely the

whole town is jacked out with everything on the street, big Christmas trees,
lights everywhere... Mexico City and Guanajuato have churches on almost
every block, so for the Christmas time, they put different candles out, they
also do very nativity scene, like birth of Christ, its very beautiful. Look, (piture)
the whole city look like this. Its big celebration, very very big. When I was in
US, but my family, still Mexican, we celebrated Christmas like that as well. Still
even though we lived in US, but I'm from Mexico, so its very common. So
when I grew up, my family also had a very large tree in our house. It was 11
feet. Two Troies. (smile) Very tall. So I love Christmas, I think Christmas is not
just about a celebration of catholic way, but the celebration of love, enjoy for
the friends you have, not just of your family. Who you wanna share. And a lot
of people love to decorate their houses, everywhere.

29

Q. What kinds of food you usually eat at Christmas? Like turkey...?

Oralia A. Thanks-giving is turkey. But for us, Christmas is different. When I was

younger, we ate ham, fish, tamales, and special sauces like the green sauce with
avocado... things are very special and expensive. So, as I Hispanic, we had a lot
of Mexican and American style food. But now we married, and became older
and we really love food, so we enjoy to eat foie gras... We host family to my
house, then 20 people are coming for Christmas dinner. The Christmas dinner
for us is always on the 24th, in Christmas eve. We don't celebrate Christmas
dinner on Christmas. So for our family, we have big dinner on December 24th,
and then we hang out and wait until midnight. And we do go to Mass, and then
come back, Christmas Mass in midnight, and open present! And we go to bed
at 1:00AM. And so the morning, mom can sleep in because kids are all tired,
right? And then she wake up and eat leftover all day playing with other toys. So
Christmas is just hanging out at home, playing with toys and eating left over. It's
Mexican Christmas. Very different. I can't wait to open present until Christmas
day!

TROY A. I usually eat turkey with my family. Most America people like to eat

turkey in special day like Christmas or thanksgiving. And I open the present in
Christmas present at morning. And I eat big breakfast with family But I adopt
her tradition So we are open present at midnight!

Q. Is there anything special experience you did in Christmas?

Oralia & Troy A. We just participate decoration at home, and make some

cookies. Every Christmas, we make cookies and give it away to everybody. We
share it to neighbors, grocery store people, friend's family, doctors, professors...
anybody has been in our life for a year and be nice for us, we give them
cookies. We made 800 cookies! And also we make 100 tamales then enjoy with

family are close people.

The brand name of our magazine is ‘The Fiesta’!

Fiesta means a festival in French. The fiesta! means

the only festival. Also, exclamation marks are often
used to emphasize. The reason why I put exclamation
marks on our brand name is because I wanted to make
it amazing and inspiring to read our magazine.

we put moon and Rudolph in our brand logo.

1. The circle represents the moon, and the meaning of a
full moon in East Asia is the vertical meaning that
brings good luck. And it means that people hold a
festival to wish the moon good luck.

2. Rudolph is a symbolic animal that changes monthly.
While making a magazine in December, he made a
logo using a symbolic Rudolph in December.
