Keith Urban talked with Capitol Records Nashville about Christmas traditions, and for the Australian that include a trip to the beach, “’cause there it’s summertime. Load up the station wagon and head off to the beach.” He compared Christmas in Australia to the Fourth of July in America, and he says he’s continued that tradition with his family.

“We still love going to be beach at Christmas time, as long as we’re in Australia.” He says they sang the same Christmas songs even though the temperature’s a bit too high for a white Christmas. “We’re in like 90-degree heat with shorts and tank tops singing ‘Walking In A Christmas Wonderland,’ and I remember getting Christmas cards of like Santa on a surfboard.”
