David: Hi, Christina. How are you? Are you in the mood for holidays?  

Christina: Hi, David. I’m fine, thank you. I am, of course. Seven hours later we’ll have Christmas. By the way, Merry Christmas!

David: Thank you, it’s my favourite holiday. My family is already getting ready for the feast.

Christina: What are they cooking?

David: Well, my mum always cooks a roast turkey with rosemarine leaves. It is incredibly delicious. You should come and try it sometimes.

Christina: With pleasure. In fact, I’m free after 7 pm today and can visit you. However, it will be a quick visit, as I still haven’t bought the postcards for some of my friedns.

David: No problem. Come to see us. I think the turkey should be ready by that time and you can have a slice.

Christina: I’ve never tried turkey with rosemarine. It should taste good. What else is your mum cooking?

David: She is also in charge of the desserts. Her main specialty is Christmas pudding.

Christina: My parents also cook pudding but with small good luck object in it. So in case you try a piece be careful not to swallow anything. Did you know about this tradition?

David: No, it’s the first time I hear about it. Which object do you mean?

Christina: It’s an old British tradition which my parents follow. They put a silver coin, a thimble, a ring and an anchor charm in the pudding. A person who gets a coin is supposed to be lucky and successful all year round.

David: How about the other ones?

Christina: The person who gets a thimble gets a sign of thrift. A ring is an anticipation of wedding, an anchor symbolizes a safe year. In fact, it protects the receiver from possible dangers.

David: That’s an interesting tradition. We’ve never practised it. What other Christmas traditions do you follow?

Christina: By some reason, my parents always place the presents under the Christmas tree.

David: We place them in the stockings which hang above the fireplace.

Christina: That’s what most people in Britain do, don’t they?

David: Yes, you’re right. What else do you do on Christmas night?

Christina: We often go to see the fireworks after midnight. Would you like to join us?

David: With pleasure. Do you mean the fireworks of the Central Square?

Christina: Yes, it’s almost round the corner. Why not to go and admire the city festivities? Apart from fireworks there is always a merry fair and some carousels. Everything is lit by cheerful colors and lights. I like the atmosphere of this day.

David: Me too. Let’s go there together.

Christina: What are you going to do after the 25th of December?

David: Well, I’m having a short holiday after that and I hope to spend these days usefully.

Christina: My school is also on holiday. Let’s pick a day to go skiing in the woods, shall we?

David: Sounds like a good idea. I’ll tell my dad to fix up my skis. One was broken last year.

Christina: I see. Then let me know when it’s fixed and we can have a small ski adventure.

David: Ok, I have to go now. Hope to see you a little later today.

Christina: See you.
