Hi, I'm Georgiana, your English teacher.

Thanks for joining me for a new episode of the Speak English Now podcast.

If you want to help, please share the podcast on social media.

That would mean a lot. Thanks.

Before we start, visit my website, speakenglishpodcast.com,

and subscribe to my free mini-course. Okay, let's start. It's Christmas at last.

I don't know about you, but I love this time of the year.

I start to think about what presents to give to my family and friends.

Normally I make a list, so I don't forget anyone.

Can you imagine forgetting someone? That would be terrible.

That's why I start very early to plan what presents to give to everyone. Finding the right gifts for someone can be difficult, so what I usually do is search online for gift ideas, and buying online

helps me avoid the holiday crowds. To really feel the Christmas spirit, I like preparing a pot

with a delightful scent using orange, cinnamon, apple cinder and club. I let everything

boil throughout the day so that the fragrance spread throughout the house. At this time of the

year, I also love to listen to Christmas songs. I can recommend some popular Christmas songs. Every Christmas,

I listen to Mariah Carey song, all I want for Christmas is you. Last Christmas by Wham.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow by Frank Sinatra, Jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Helms,

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bear Rock, and something from Michael

Bubble's Christmas album. Plus, I enjoy placing Christmas lights and decorations. And let me tell you something,

I sometimes use social media to find unique decorations. Did you know that some Americans

use popcorn threaded on the string to help decorate their Christmas tree,

or that in New England you can find some shops called Christmas shops.
