0:00.0	Hello my friends welcome to another follow him favorites it is Christmas here at follow him. I'm here with my friend John by the way
0:10.8	Hi John. Hi, Hank.
0:13.0	We are going to cover a single question from this week's Christmas lesson.
0:17.0	The question for this week's lesson comes right from the manual,
