Dialogue:

Christmas Eve Traditions

Erin: The guests are going to be here soon.

Dad: We should start bringing out the food and setting up the table.

Erin: What are we going to do tonight?

Dad: We’ll sit around and talk while we eat. And then maybe we’ll play some
cards. And after that we’ll watch Scrooge.

Erin: Scrooge again? We saw that last year.

Dad: That’s right. We watch it every year.

Erin: Can’t we watch something different? We’ve seen it so many times.

Dad: I watched it with my Dad every year on Christmas Eve when I was
growing up. It’s our family tradition.

Erin: Fine. I’ll watch it again.

Wrapping a Present

Dad: Hey, Erin. Do you know where the wrapping paper is?

Erin: It’s in the closet by the front door.

Dad: Thanks!

Erin: No problem. What do you need it for?

Dad: I’m wrapping a present for mom.

Erin: Ooo! What did you get her?

Dad: These boots. What do you think?

Erin: Those are really pretty. She’ll like them.

Dad: I hope so. I’ve got to get them wrapped before she gets home.

Erin: I’ve got some ribbon in my room if you need it. And I can make a bow for
you.

Dad: That would be great! Thanks Erin!

Getting Ready for Christmas Eve

Erin: Good morning!

Dad: Good morning! So are you excited for Christmas?

Erin: I sure am. I can’t believe it’s Christmas Eve already.

Dad: Time flies! And we still have a lot to do before our guests arrive.

Erin: Like what?

Dad: I have to prepare all the food for the party. I still have presents to wrap and
some last-minute shopping to do. And on top of all that, I have to help mom
clean the house.

Erin: Is there anything that I can help you with?

Dad: Do you think you could wrap some presents for me?

Erin: Sure. I can do that. And I’ll help you and mom clean up later.

Dad: Thanks. That’s really kind of you.

Erin: Well, it is the day before Christmas after all!
