Every December, I begin to feel uncomfortable. Why? Christmas is coming. Most people enjoy this holiday, but it makes me depressed. First, I’m not a religious person. This holiday celebrates the birth of Christ, and it’s full of religious symbols. Second, Christmas is becoming more and more commercial. It’s the most important time of year for owners of stores, for example. Spending lots of money seems to be people’s main activity in December. Everywhere you hear the commands “Buy! Spend! Give!”. It’s awful. Finally, I think Christmas is difficult time of year for people without families. I’ve been living away from my family for several years, and I miss being with them-especially at Christmas. 1)What is Christmas associated with? ......................................................................................................................................... 2)When is the birth of Christ? ........................................................................................................................................ 3)What seems to be people’s main activity in December? ........................................................................................................................................ 4)Who finds Christmas the most important time of year? ........................................................................................................................................ 5)Who finds Christmas is a difficult time of year? ........................................................................................................................................
