W: I’m in the holiday spirit.
M: So am I. Are the decorations beautiful?
W: Yeh. I’d like to come downtown to see all that glitters.
M: I’ve got a lot of shopping to do. I have to hurry.
W: I bought most of my gifts at the Thanksgiving. Now I can enjoy the season.
M: You are smart. I wish I planned ahead. Lot’s start at this department store.
W: OK.
M: There is a Santa Claus. Look at all the children lining up to see him.
W: I wonder if they get their wishes. It’s really crowded in the department store.
M: I know. I hate fighting crowds and shopping. The price seems too high.
W: That’s the way it goes, Price always go down after the holiday.
M: Yeh. That is right. Look, there is the Salvation Army.
W: Oh! Yeh. They are raising money for the people of Ethiopia this year.
M: I suppose it would be good to give some money.
W: That’s a part of the spirit.
