I don't mind
What's your favourite festival?
I love Christmas. I really enjoy the atmosphere - the parties, the decorations, the presents, the food, even the weather!
And what will you do for Christmas?
I will be at home with my people. I like to spend time with my family and old friends.
Are you serious? Why?
I suppose Christmas makes me nostalgic, and I prefer making arrangements and plans for the year ahead. What about you, Seán?
I understand both of you but I have to say that Halloween is my favourite festival! I love the costumes and the fireworks.
It's a long time since I was dressed up on Halloween!
Tell me now, Áine: do you make New Year's resolutions?
I do, surely. The trick is to choose resolutions that are worthwhile and achievable.
That makes sense, I suppose. What resolutions do you have this year?
My resolutions are to avoid meat and to improve my French.
I slipped up and ate chicken a couple of times but apart from that, I'm getting on well. Do you have any resolutions?
Yes. I would like to go running three times a week as I intend to do a half-marathon in a couple of months.
I'm envious of you, lads. Maybe I should make resolutions next year.
Why not start now?
Okay then. This year I will lose ten kilograms and read ten books!
What are your resolutions regarding learning Irish?
Good for you. How are you getting on?
