Today, the Everybody Loves English.com Christmas Celebration will begin! We will read and discuss Christmas stories, traditions, customs, recipes and our holiday plans. There's even a discussion about Christmas carols and their meanings. So light some candles, put up a Christmas tree, pour some eggnog and get ready for very special times as we celebrate together!
December 6 is our next English party! This month's party will, of course, have a Christmas theme. We'll be enjoying virtual champagne, eggnog, Christmas cookies...all non-calorie! We'll also be exchanging gifts, so you want to hurry and get your test completed in time to attend! Everyone who has completed the English Placement Test is invited to attend! Don't miss out!
Best wishes to you as you continue your English learning adventure!
"See" you at Everybody Loves English.com!
