Now that Christmas is really round the corner, don't you feel like singing a Christmas carol? Well, just in case I recommend you read the text about Christmas carols that you will find in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_carol and, for the braver, listen and try to sing the following Christmas songs. Enjoy and have fun!
Jingle Bells (rap version)
Santa Clause is coming to town (by Michael Bolton)
Jingle Bells (by Frank Sinatra)
Jingle Bell Rock (by Bobby Helms)
Let it snow (by Doris Day)
All I want for Christmas is you (by Mariah Carey)

Christmas is about to come. Are you ready for it?
Hello, everybody!
If almost a couple of months ago we talked about the "swine flu", this month we would like to think about Christmas and all the different aspects of this holiday.
Have you thought about the amount of extra money that Christmas demands of each of us? Well, maybe not. However, I encourage you to watch this video by Martin Lewis, a person who definitely has thought about how to save money this Christmas. Not a bad thing considering the economic difficulties that some people around Europe are already experiencing.
Once you have watched it (and read the script provided towards the end of this post), you could write your comments to this post. Some guide questions to help you:
- Do you agree with Martin's opinions? Which of his twelve pieces of advice is the most useful? And the least?
- What type of presents do I buy for my family and friends? Are they useful? Do you buy the cheapest things or, on the contrary, do you buy something that you really like regardless of its price?
- What about the presents that you get? Are they useful? Which has been the best present you have ever had? And the worst? Justify your answers.
- Do you think the celebration of Christmas has changed a lot along the years? Which things would you like to change if you could? Why? Which ones would you like to keep? Why?
Now you are ready to watch Martin Lewis' The Twelve Saves of Chritmas
And for those of you who want to check what Martin Lewis is talking about, please click on the following link where you will find quite an accurate script of the whole listening: http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog/consumer_advice/lewis_12_saves_christmas.shtml
Well and that's all so far. Hope you enjoy this new activity and I am waiting for your nice comments.
Happy Christmas shopping!!!
