M:Why didn't you celebrate it with your family?

W:I went home for Thanksgiving this year, and couldn't afford to go home again for Christmas.

M:I see（我明白了）, what did you do at your friend's party?

W:We decorated the Christmas tree with tinsel（金属箔）and ornaments（装饰品）, had a traditional Christmas dinner with roast turkey, and sung Christmas carols（颂歌）.

M:Did you exchange Christmas gifts with each other?

W:Yes, what about you, how did you celebrate it?

M:My family went to church, opened gifts, and then spent the day eating and playing games with each other.

W:Which do you prefer, giving gifts or receiving them?

M:Obviously, I like getting gifts from other people, but I feel better about giving people gifts that I know they like.
