Mark: Hi, Sarah! Are you excited about Christmas?

Sarah: Yes, I love Christmas! It's my favourite time of the year. What about you?

Mark: Me too! I love everything about it. The best part for me is the food. Mum's Christmas dinner is always amazing.

Sarah: Oh yes, the food is fantastic! I love the Christmas pudding, and I always eat too many cookies.

Mark: Same! I eat so many cookies. Do you have a favourite part of Christmas?

Sarah: Hmm, I think I love the decorations the most. The Christmas tree with all the lights and ornaments looks so beautiful. And the house feels so cosy with all the lights on.

Mark: I agree. Decorating the tree is one of my favourite things to do. I like putting the star on the top. It feels special.

Sarah: And of course, the presents! I love giving presents to everyone. It's so much fun to see their faces when they open them.

Mark: And I love getting presents!

Sarah: Ha, you always love getting presents! What about the weather? Do you like it when it snows at Christmas?

Mark: I love the snow! Everything looks so beautiful when it's white outside. I hope it snows this year.

Sarah: Yes, it makes Christmas feel more special. The snow makes it feel like a real winter wonderland.

Mark: I also enjoy the Christmas TV specials. There are so many good shows and movies on TV.

Sarah: Oh yes! I love watching Christmas movies. We always watch a lot of them in December. I love the one with the kids who build a snowman and go on a magical adventure.

Mark: I know that one! It's great. I also like the old Christmas comedies. They always make me laugh.

Sarah: And we can't forget the Christmas music. I enjoy singing Christmas songs. They always make me feel happy.

Mark: Yes, we sing together in the evening every year. It's fun!

Sarah: I can't wait to start decorating the house. It's going to look so festive!

Mark: Same here! Christmas is the best time of the year, for sure.
