Tom: Hi, Ana! I'm good, thanks. How about you?
Ana: I'm great, thanks. Hey, I wanted to talk to you about traditional celebrations. Do you celebrate any special holidays in your culture?
Tom: Yes, we celebrate Chinese New Year! It's a big festival for us. What about you?
Ana: Oh, that sounds interesting! In my culture, we celebrate Christmas. It's a time for family gatherings and exchanging gifts.
Tom: That sounds lovely! What do you usually do during Christmas?
Ana: Well, we decorate our homes with lights and a Christmas tree. Then, on Christmas Eve, we have a big dinner with roast turkey, mashed potatoes, and lots of desserts!
Tom: Wow, that sounds delicious! During Chinese New Year, we also have a big family dinner. We eat dumplings, fish, and other traditional dishes for good luck.
Ana: Dumplings sound yummy! Do you have any special customs or rituals during Chinese New Year?
Tom: Yes, we have the tradition of giving red envelopes called "hongbao" with money inside for good luck and prosperity.
Ana: That's fascinating! In my culture, we also have some customs like hanging stockings by the fireplace for Santa Claus to fill with gifts.
Tom: It's interesting to learn about different traditions! Thanks for sharing, Ana.
