In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack talk about how they get into the holiday spirit each year.Transcript:00:00:00JackYou're listening to the A-Z English podcast.00:00:14JackWelcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we're going to do a short discussion.00:00:23JackOn a topic and the question is, how do you get into the holiday spirit?00:00:30JackOr a better question, so so might be. Do you get into the holiday spirit? And because that's the question I would ask myself, what about you? How do you get into the Christmas or the holiday spirit, I should say?00:00:47XochitlI don't know.00:00:47XochitlJack, I would say the Christmas spirit is kind of all around us when we're in a country that celebrates it. So you would see like the lights, decorations or like.00:01:04XochitlThe Christmas music you start hearing in the stores and the and the Christmas decorations you see everywhere, the Christmas items for sale like we talked about, like the eggnog or Christmas cookies and the grocery or certain treats or candies that are popular during Christmas but also in the stores you see like decor and like little else on a shelf and like ugly.00:01:25XochitlChristmas sweaters and different things that we kind of just wear during Christmas season as well. And so since it's kind of all around us, it almost doesn't feel like you have to get yourself in the Christmas spirit. It's kind of the rust upon.00:01:39JackYou're right.00:01:40XochitlSometime sooner than I wish it was. I just wish people would wait until, like December. But like sometimes it's October and you're already seeing this stuff and.00:01:47JackOhh Halloween before Halloween, you'll.00:01:50JackHear Christmas songs on the yeah on the yeah.00:01:53XochitlI know it's terrible.00:01:57JackUM my in my case.00:02:01JackI have to make more of a concerted effort to to put myself into the spirit, because in Korea the Christmas is a rather minor holiday. At least it's more for the religious people. But it is a day off, but it's not.00:02:20JackYou know, if you want to get into the Christmas spirit, you have to go to the mall because.00:02:26JackYou go to the mall. They've got the big displays with all of the Legos.00:02:31JackAnd the Santas workshop.00:02:32JackUp and the Christmas music is getting pumped out through the speakers.00:02:37JackAnd people are shopping and it's and it's cold. Like, that's one way that I can get myself really quickly into the Christmas spirit or into the holiday spirit. Another one is listening to music. Like, I'll play some Christmas music right now.00:02:58JackMy wife and I have a a a small coffee shop and right now I've got it playing Christmas music in the in the in the in the.00:03:08JackYeah, I also put up some lights here in my studio, my my little podcasting studio, so I've got some lights up and that helps me get into the holiday spirit.00:03:22JackSo just all those.00:03:23JackLittle things that we do, the lights, the decorations, the tree.00:03:28JackThe music. That's the way to kind of get yourself into the holiday spirit when you're not surrounded by it all the.00:03:34JackTime and unfortunately I really miss not being home in America during Christmas time because I it is my favorite time of the year. It's so nice.00:03:48XochitlYeah. Well, listeners, let us know how you get into the holiday spirit.
