On the FIRST DAY of Christmas ....

 

As Santa is getting ready for Christmas, maybe today you are putting up your Christmas tree also...   Officially today, December 13,  there are 12 days left before THEEEE DAY!!! Have you EVER heard of the song Click >The Twelve Days of Christsmas? A good practice of the -ING words, don’t you agree?  Well this year, I'm going to be your twelve days of CHRISTMAS! AS the song's lyrics go, WELLLLL .....  I'm going to change it around a little bit   TO> 'On the first day of Christmas',         'MY TEACHER SENT TO ME ...!  And you thought that your English classes were over for this session! NO! No! NOOOO! I'm still here! REMEMBER ...You answered when I asked   that it was OK with you and that I could send you emails, right? I wasn't kidding! HERE I AM!!!   I'm officially your 12 days of XMAS!   I just want to have fun and allow you to experience the joy and the vocabulary that is used around Christmas time.   HAVE A GREAT DAY and if you are decorating .. . Be CAREFUL when you go up the ladder! See you tomorrow!             SUZANNE   NOTE to the reader: this is the attached TEXT: Well it’s Christmas time again! YES! And this year we have the snow to prove it. People always appreciate a bit of  the white ’stuff’ for the HOLIDAYS. You’ve heard of the expression  WHITE CHRISTMAS as in Bing Crosby’s  very popular song, haven’t you?  Well… maybe not! Listen to it here:  ‘’I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas’’ This is just a start, for the next 12 days,   as in another Xmas song, I  will be sending you a daily ‘something’ (story, joke, cartoon, song, video…)   about Christmas and the Holidays. A challenge for me, some vocabulary for you.       Consider this as my Xmas gift for you all! And ... I’ll be with you right up to the 25th!!!  SUZANNE
