Lol, no! It's just not a big thing here. Some people do have them, but mostly we just put presents under the tree. Because it's a lot hotter here, there aren't a huge amount of houses with fireplaces, and the ones that do are often smaller than American fireplaces. Out of the 10 or so houses that I've lived in, only 2 had fireplaces and neither of those had a mantle to hang a stocking on. Aussie christmases are very different - we often eat seafood or have a barbeque, because it's just so damn hot at Christmas time.
