Christmas means a lot to Westerners: family, food, shopping, and shopping, and shopping. Big department stores and shops make more money in the 6 weeks before Christmas than they do in the whole rest of the year. For those in the retail business, Christmas is the busiest and most important time of year.
Every year, on UK TV, there are lots of adverts encouraging people to spend more money, on food, on presents for their family and friends, and on alcohol. Here are some of the adverts for this year.
The first advert is from a department store called John Lewis. This advert is currently very popular in the UK. It emphasises buying presents for the joy of giving. What do you think of it?
Please please please let me get what I want.
Lord knows, it would be the first time.
This second ad is from a food store called Iceland. This ad emphasises food. In the ad you will see some traditional food, and some more modern food, invented by the food company. What do you think of it?
So which one do you prefer? What does Christmas mean to you?
