Question

13．Some young people have become disappointed with how commercialized Christmas has become．As a result，they try to break with established traditions．What do they do to get more out of Christmas？
Ways of celebrating
       By booking a short holiday abroad they can escape winter weather．OK，so flying to warm countries is great for those who live in cold winter climates．But how do you celebrate Christmas when your year-round climate is warm，or even hot？
        In California，Santa Claus arrives on a surfboard，wearing an unusual red wetsuit．As long as he comes bearing presents，Surfing Santa would probably be welcome anywhere．
        In Australia，many young people enjoy the warm weather with a beach barbecue and cold beer．In recent years，Bondi Beach has become an attraction for overseas visitors to gather and celebrate．It's not uncommon for numbers to reach 40，000 on Christmas day．
Gift giving
        We all know the feeling：you receive the kind of gift that you wouldn't choose for yourself in a million years．But you have to bear it pretending that you love your new present．
        To avoid this experience，many people give gift vouchers（購(gòu)物禮券）at Christmas．With this，the receivers can buy whatever they want．
        Digital and electronic goods feature highly on many young people's Christmas wish lists．Not surprisingly，then，the Guardian's top gifts for modern young people are：
        Apple's iPad：The iPad is probably one of the hottest items of the year．However you look at it，almost everybody wants one．
        Digital Cameras：Christmas is the perfect time to give this gift that can help you to catch those special seasonal memories．Digital cameras are not as expensive as they used to be，either．You can take a bargain for as little as $100．
