Script
Speaker 1
I've been talking to a girl for a long time. She lives in Canada and studies at the University of Toronto. This time her Christmas was spent in the dorm. We were separated by time zones, but this allowed us to celebrate Christmas twice online! I am very glad that I was able to brighten up her loneliness, and next year I will try to do everything to celebrate Christmas next to her!

Christmas in England is wonderful! Anglican churches, decorations, unusual dishes. On the one hand, everything is wonderful because David promised me that my Christmas this year would be truly authentic. At first, everything was going great until David's grandfather offered me to taste eggnog. This is a traditional English egg drink that is very popular at Christmas. It was inconvenient to refuse, so I drank it. Next time David will eat Russian jelly and herring under a fur coat, I promise.

Every year for the holidays we always had an artificial fir tree in our house. It did not age; it was perfect and canonical. But at the same time it was boring and I did not feel the true spirit of the holiday. Therefore, this Christmas we bought a real fir tree for the house. There were even bumps on it! We decorated it with pink, gold and white balloons. Now, when I wake up every morning, I smell a special fragrance, as if I am in a coniferous forest. It's so motivating!

At Christmas, every year I rush to my parents. Our relatives, including my older sisters, are always present at the celebration. We have a certain tradition of bringing our signature dish with us. Therefore, as soon as everyone sat down at the table, I began to taste each dish at the request of each of the sisters, mother and grandmothers. Salad, turkey and pudding took up the entire space of my large plate and later my stomach. I didn't want to tell them that they ruined my Christmas, but I went to bed early, missing the festivities and fireworks.
Speaker 5
I dreamed of spending Christmas at home under a blanket with a cup of cappuccino, but my girlfriend did not share my desires because she is a party animal. So I had to leave the blanket at home and go on adventures. I spent four hours listening to blaring music and fell asleep on the couch. Noisy parties are not for me. The main thing is that Jessie doesn't decide that I'm a grumpy old man and I don't suit her. I'm just an introvert.
Speaker 6
We have a tradition: with the advent of Christmas, the whole family settles in a cosy bungalow near the ski resort. During the day we actively do sports, and in the evenings we eat and play board games. This year I left my snowboard at home and switched to skiing. And I can say that the snow sparkled with a special brilliance for me. Skiing is wonderful!
