Passage Two
Christmas is one of those holidays which means very different things to different people.
It can be a spiritual time, a family time, a time for giving, a time for holding parties or a time for just over-eating... Most people find something to enjoy on Christmas, whether they are Christians or not. But hasn't Christmas in the consumer age become just a bit too big? (13) And a lot too commercial?
(13) I think so. The secret of a good Christmas is to be selective. Here is my personal list of the things Christmas would be infinitely better without. Let's get rid of...
Plastic Christmas trees. Fussy people don't like trees that drop leaves on the carpet. Surely, in the age of vacuum cleaners, this is not a problem anymore. (14) Worst of all are those plastic trees that come with their own decorations already attached, so depriving children of the great pleasure of hanging the decorations themselves. Replace with: real fir trees, from sustainable forests.
Fairy lights that don't work. We have sent people to the moon. Computers have changed our lives. On the Internet, huge amounts of information travels all over the world at the speed of light. So it shouldn't be too difficult to put a few colored light bulbs in a row, so they last until New Year without breaking down. Replace with: candles.
TV. It's a fact that we spend more time in front of the TV on Christmas than on any other time of year. The TV schedules are filled with old films, comedy "Christmas Specials", soap operas with Christmas-related plots, and of course hundreds of advertisements. Switch it off and visit your relatives instead. (15) Replace with: log fires, board games.
13. What does the speaker think about Christmas?
14. Why doesn't the speaker favor the plastic trees?
15. How can we replace TV according to the speaker?
