W: Are you all ready for Christmas?
M: No, I haven’t even started. I’ve done zero shopping.
W: Well, [8]you’d better get going. [9]Christmas is only a week away.
M: I have to tell you that [10]I’m one of those people who really get stressed out by the Christmas rush.
W: Oh, I’m not I love the holidays. I love the crowds, the shopping, the holidays, the music, the food, the parties, and all the presents.
M: [10]That’s just the beginning. My wife always spends too much money on Christmas. That takes me till April to pay off all our Christmas bills.
W: Don’t be a miser about it. Think about your kids. Didn’t you use to love Christmas when you were a kid?
M: I guess so. I don’t remember.
W: I know you did You know, maybe Christmas is for kids, but you can still enjoy it through the eyes of your children
M: [10]Well, kids enjoy it because they don’t have to do all the shopping and pay all the bills.
W: Maybe that’s true. [8]But you know as well as I do, that Christmas is more than shopping and trees. It’s about what’s in your heart and how you can make others happy.
M: You’re right. You’re absolutely right. [11]I’m going to try harder to be nice to people and try to keep the true spirit of Christmas in my heart.
W: I’m glad to hear it.
