[speaker001:] Is everything ready for the Christmas party?
[speaker002:] Almost. I 'Ve put up the decorations, and we 'Ve decorated the Christmas tree with plenty of tinsel and baubles.
[speaker001:] I like the big star on the top of the tree. I 'll put the presents under the tree later, how 's the food.
[speaker002:] I 'Ve prepared most of it already and we 'Ve got plenty of snack foods-you know, crisps, biscuits, and things. Are you going to make the punch?
[speaker001:] Yes. I 'Ve bought all the things to go in it. It won 't take long to make. How many people are coming to the party?
[speaker002:] I think everyone will be coming. Dave don 't come because he has to go to his parent 's home and they live in Scotland.
[speaker001:] Do we have Christmas pudding?
[speaker002:] Yes, we do. I hope we have enough for everyone. Did you send out all your Christmas cards in time?
[speaker001:] Yes, I did. I send most of them a week ago. I 'Ve brought some with me to the party to give to people in person.
[speaker002:] I did the same. I spent hours yesterday evening wrapping presents. I hope I didn 't forget to buy anyone something!
[speaker001:] I hope you didn 't forget mine!
