Hello and happy Christmas.
This is 6 Minute English with me, Neil, and joining me today is Sam.
Hello.
So Sam, are you feeling excited about Christmas?
Of course.
Time with friends and family, eating lots, passing, presence,
and generally indulging.
What's not to like?
Indulging, allowing yourself to have perhaps too much of something you enjoy.
Well, it only happens once a year, Sam, but for those of us who do celebrate Christmas,
it comes at a price.
Yes, well, buying all those presents can be expensive.
Not just that, Sam, I mean it comes at a cost of the environment, as we'll explain shortly.
But let's start off with a quiz question for you to answer.
In 2010, a Christmas tree in Belgium was awarded the World Record for having the most lights on it.
But do you know how many?
Were there A, 19,672, B, 94,672, or C, 194,672?
What do you think, Sam?
