Dai: OK so Christmas is coming around the corner. How do you feel about that?

Sharron: I love Christmas. I love the time with the family, the time off work to relax and enjoy each other's company and just time at home with everyone.

Dai: So, what do you .... what's like a traditional Christmas for you then?

Sharron: Well, the build-up is a bit of a nuisance1 really. It's a lot of money, but it's good fun and it's great. The end result, Christmas morning, watching everybody opening the presents that I've bought and things, but, yeah, a traditional Christmas would be rushing around Christmas Eve getting all the last minute things. Probably up 'till very late, wrapping2 presents, and then up early Christmas morning, opening presents, a family visit to see our daughter opening her presents as well, and then it's normally3 shared around some of the family. We do a different Christmas dinner every year. Either we ...

Dai: Christmas dinner? What kind of ... ?

Sharron: Right! Christmas dinner back home is a big roast4 turkey and all the trimmings: stuffing6, vegetables ...

Dai: Stuffing?

Sharron: Stuffing. It's like herbs7 and breadcrumbs and onions and things. All made up and you stuff5 it under the skin of the turkey and when the turkey roasts8 it cooks in there as well. It's really, really tasty. So we have sort of a family meal and one year we'll go to one of the parent's houses or they'll come to us. We just change it 'round every year. And then normally, it's sort of a lazy afternoon after we've eaten far too much, and watching some of the traditional British television: The Queen's speech at 3 o'clock every Christmas Day.

Dai: So the Queen gives a speech?

Sharron: Yeah. Tells everybody how her year has been and what she thinks Britain has achieved in the last twelve months and how she thinks things are going to go for the next twelve months and it's on for about twenty minutes I suppose. Not everybody watches it. Sometimes people, after their large lunch, have fallen asleep in the chair by the time it's on the TV, so ...

Dai: Right.

Sharron: But Christmas night then, it's normally cold turkey sandwiches, pickled onions, crisps9.

Dai: Crisps? Like ...

Sharron: Like ...

Dai: Potato chips?

Sharron: Potato chips, yeah, sorry, potato chips, yeah. We call them crisps back home so ...

Dai: OK.

Sharron: Sit in front of the TV again. It's just a generally family time.

Dai: Sounds pretty lazy.

Sharron: It is. Very lazy. Boxing Day then is ...

Dai: Boxing Day?

Sharron: Yeah, now Boxing Day is the day after Christmas Day.

Dai: So the 26th?

Sharron: The 26th of December. Saint10 Steven's Day, but we have another day's holiday then so ...

Dai: Why is it called Boxing Day?

Sharron: I haven't got a clue11. Not a clue.

Dai: Think it's cause everyone gets rids of their boxes?

Sharron: Could be. After all the Christmas gifts, yeah. But we generally have a busier day the next day. There's a lot of sports activities going on where we live. In Temby, which is a local seaside town, they have a big Boxing Day swim, which is unheard of in the winter. Nobody goes in the sea much in the summer, where we live.

Dai: Right, it must be really cold.

Sharron: Very cold.

Dai: Like, what would that be in degrees?

Sharron: Oh, I don't know, but people dress up and run in the sea for charity12. People give donations13 for money and it's all in a good cause and it's a bit of fun. But there's also football matches and rugby matches and things.

Dai: So you generally have a good time.

Sharron: Yeah, most people go out on Boxing Day. It's a more active day than Christmas Day. Christmas Day is the day where most people tend to stay in and be with the family and Boxing Day we will go out and meet up with friends generally.
