E29 How I’ve ruined Christmas in the past - British English storytelling for advanced learners
Manage episode 456234684 series 3577242
As the year draws to a close, I’m excited to share the final episode of English and Beyond for 2024. This festive episode is all about Christmas! It’s a nostalgic dive into personal traditions, some ancient history, and the quirks of celebrating the season across different cultures.
🎙 What’s Inside?
- My reflections on chaotic childhood Christmases (spoiler: black bin bags instead of wrapping paper!)
- The fascinating Roman origins of modern Christmas traditions.
- How César and I navigate the cultural differences of Christmas in Spain versus the UK.
- A heartfelt look at why the imperfections make the holidays so special.
🎁 A Small Christmas Request
