Ho, Ho, Ho! here comes the ... CHRISTMAS SPECIAL


So, 3 weeks for Christmas means it's time for a Christmas Special🎅🎄. I have picked this Sainsbury's ( Supermarket chain) Commercial picturing the  British Christmas holiday through this festive song " Every bit of it". Enjoy the ad , sing along if you feel like ( there is a karaoke version at the end), and then take some time to answer FOUR of the following questions. Please ,post the answers.




1. What is the connection between the tv classics on Christmas and the word cheese?
2. There are two typical british appetizers ( considered pastry) mentioned in the clip,
one is round and the other one is implicit in "you bring the pigs , and I bring the blankets... What are they?
3. Who do they refet to with " both the in-laws"?
4.  The kid on a sheep costume mentions a particular speech on TV. Who gives it? In his opinion ,do they pay attention?

5. What Christmas rituals do you share with the ones presented on the commercial?
6. What typical British rituals or christmas traditions differ from yours?

Do you want to know more about the commercial?  Read the article published on The Telegraph, It may come in handy for your next final task "TV Spot".😉

  3. 2. The two typical British appetizers are minced meat pie and the other the pigs.

    4. The Queen speeches. No, the kid say that the baby screams over speeches by the queen.

    5. I share that Christmas are the best time for showing off, for the family sing together and for saw festive movies.

    6.The traditions that are more different is the type of food that we eat and they take Christmas as a very important date of the year.

  5. 1. I think it's related to the typical Christmas movies shown on tv during that time, since they're pretty cheesy, often named ''a Christmas romance'' or ''falling in love with santa''
    3. Their mother and father-in-law, these ones are usually expected to not have much fun (maybe because a lack of family bonds?)
    4. A speech given by the Queen, they don't pay much attention and some babies often cry, so it can barely be overheard.
    5. We also hold a kind of ''party'' when it comes to Christmas, everybody brings homemade meals and we sing along to Christmas classics while laughing non-stop.

    6. There are differents traditions, par example, in Spain, we eat chicken meat and soup in Chritsmas and we don´t send Christmas card. But, there are similitudes, par example, in my family, we sing in a karaoke. It´s very funny!
