Conversation One
W: Are youall ready for Christmas?
M: Are youkidding? I haven’t even started. I’ve done zero shopping.
W: Well,you’d better get going; Christmas is only a week away.
M: I have totell you that I’m one of those people who really get stressed out by theChristmas rush.
W: Oh, I’mnot. I love the holidays. I love the crowds, the shopping, the holidays, themusic, the food, the parties, and all the presents.
M: That’sjust the beginning. My wife always spends too much money on Christmas. Theaverage Christmas expense for US families is about $550. But somehow I alwaysspend about twice that much. It takes me till April to pay off all ourChristmas bills.
W: But didn’tyou use to love Christmas when you were a kid?
M: I guessso. I don’t remember.
W: I know youdid. You were the most exited kid in the whole class I remember. MaybeChristmas is for kids, but you can still enjoy it through the eyes of yourchildren.
M: well, kidsenjoy it because they don’t have to do all the shopping and pay all the bills.
W: Maybethat’s true. But you know as well as I do, that Christmas is more than shoppingand trees. It’s about what’s in your heart and how you can make others happy.
M: You’reright. You’re absolutely right. I’m going to try harder to be nice to peopleand try to keep the true spirit of Christmas in my heart.
W: I’m gladto hear it.
