MERRY CHRISTMAS! Learn English idioms & North American customs for the holidays

What better way to celebrate than with a merry lesson on Christmas idioms and customs? It doesn’t matter if you celebrate Christmas or not. In this lesson, I will teach you expressions that we use around Christmas time, like stocking stuffer, trim the tree, white Christmas, beat the holiday blues, good things come in small packages, the more the merrier, and more. You will hear these idioms in songs, on TV, and in popular culture in general. We will also discuss some traditions that we have in North America when it comes to celebrating the Santa Claus season. You can test your Christmas knowledge by doing the quiz after watching. Raise your glasses because Christmas came early at EngVid!

I got 7/10, because religion of my country is buddhism so I don’t aware many thing about Chrismas and it isnt popular in my country. The lesson is quite long and hardship, hope next time is better. Thank James

I`ve got 9 of 10, so almost perfect! By the way, you can use this list of tongue twisters (the fullest I`ve found: https://ivypanda.com/tongue-twisters) for your next lesson, I think it would be interesting :)

A well known Spanish football player (in a commercial video) wish to us happy cristmas in this way, “morri crismas”. Absolutely funny. Btw you cut the video to explain “don’t look a gift horse in its mouth” you forgot it, am I right?
