    What a great video! I really like how Christmas is very uniting and everyone has their way of celebrating it. I enjoyed that people were willing to talk and share what they do. Please do it again this year!

    On Christimas day my Family and I used to go to the church and then we have a dinner. This is one of my favorite days of the year because we are Christians and we used minding about Jesus and the gospel. Nice video man and amazing edition.

    I heard someone summoned me, ehh, my country, Indonesia😄
    My family and I don't celebrate Christmas, but some of my friends.
    Oh, but I've experienced this atmosphere when I was in Germany. All of my guest family members gathered, we strolled around the city in the cold day, then had dinner (I ate chicken, while they pork). We had so much fun talking about everything. And lastly, the most exciting moment was unboxing Christmas presents😄

      Germany is where we'll be this year, I hope we have as good a time there as you did :)

    Hey Jake, i have few questions regarding this video please help me to clear my concepts.
    1- what's pig in blanket?
    2- what's shrimp on the barbie??
    3- what does it mean "stereotype person or thing"

    • @SimplyStreetEnglish
      @SimplyStreetEnglish  4 года назад +1

      Great questions!
      1. Pigs in blankets are sausages wrapped in bacon
      2. Shrimp on the Barbie is shrimp or prawn on the barbeque (it's a common thing we think Australians do)
      3. A stereotypical person is someone who does something that is considered stereotypical of them e.g.British person drinking tea.
      Hope that helps!

    • @SimplyStreetEnglish
      @SimplyStreetEnglish  4 года назад +1

      He's saying it's an event that will happen very quickly. Just like a light, on and off.
      E.g. Christmas in the UK is not a switch on and off affair as there are decorations up for weeks before Christmas Day!

      @@SimplyStreetEnglish Improve me if I make a mistake: sprouts are young shoots of a plant so you like eating plants for Christmas... Dictionaries give all the meanings connected with growing, plants, etc. That's why I can't understand and answer the question properly))
