Christmas Preparation

Mr. Williams

I'm nearly ready for Christmas now. I've sent off all my Christmas

cards except one, and I've bought all my presents. Have you sent out

the invitations to our party yet?

Mrs. Williams

Mr. Williams

Not yet. I'll send them out tomorrow. Just look at the list again

to make sure we haven't forgotten any­one.

We’re inviting just about everybody in the street except for the Jones family.

It seems a bit rude, but to tell the truth I can’t stand that woman.

Mrs. Williams

Well, she's so ill-mannered. Last time she came here she left without

saying a word. And apart from that she tells such lies about us. She never

stops running us down to the neighbours.

Mr. Williams

That's settled then. We won't invite them. By the way I met Pat O'Dowd

last night and he told me he'd be leaving for Ireland next week.

He said he was sorry he would miss our party but he might see us

at the Rushtons' New Year party.

Mrs. Williams

What a pity! He's so lively at parties... Oh, I saw some wonderful

Christmas trees on sale in the High Street but I didn't have time to ask

how much they were.

Mr. Williams

I'm sure they're much too expensive.

Mrs. Williams

Well, we've got to have a tree. If you don't want to buy one, you'll

have to go out and dig one up. Oh, and we need a few gifts for the tree.

Apart from the holly and the mistletoe that's about everything.

Mr. Williams

It's the same every year — you end up with every­thing you want

and I end up with a headache from worrying about my bank balance.
