Anja: So, Fred, tell me, how is it on Christmas? Who do you give gifts to in Canada?


Fred: Well, Anja, personally 1 I prefer to receive gifts. That's always funner. Yeah, well, of course, we give gifts and we receive gifts.


Anja: Oh, yeah. So the gifts, how are they? Are they really expensive or...?


Fred: Good question. Well, I don't know. It depends on who you're giving the gift to, and it also depends on, you know, how many gifts you have to buy.


Anja: Oh, so, who exactly are you buying gifts for? Only the really.... people that are really close to you?


Fred: Well, yes, I would say that in my case I have a large family.


Anja: How many are you?


Fred: We are six siblings 2: six brothers and sisters and plus my parents and both my grandparents are still alive, and aunts and cousins and so a very big family, and so what we do is we exchange gifts. So we buy a small gift, 45 dollars, and then we play a small game where we exchange that gift amongst 3 each other, so we don't have to buy gifts to everybody.


Anja: Oh, that's quite nice, so it won't get too expensive, right?


Fred: It won't but, personally, I like to buy gifts for my mother or my father and especially my grandmother and grandfather. It's very important, and so I enjoy doing the shopping for it.


Anja: Oh, you do like shopping?


Fred: For Christmas it's something different.


Anja: It's really difficult on Christmas, right? Usually, the shops are really packed and there's so many people. It's really stressful 5, isn't it?


Fred: Yeah, but I like that stress 4.


Anja: Oh, you do?


Fred: Yeah, I love it.


Anja: Oh, wow. I think you are the only one.
