Gift budget: 禮物預算
20 dollars is a common budget for office or social Christmas parties: 公司或社交類的聖誕派對，20美金是個普遍的預算
Two main styles of gifts: 買什麽禮物?兩大套路
由於聖誕派對上送禮有遊戲屬性，所以買禮物第壹不用太貴;
風格則可以二選壹：
Practical: 實用
Prank: 創意或惡搞
或者像Adam那樣買壹袋大米(a huge bag of rice), 合二為壹、壹舉兩得
Don't party too hard: 不要玩太瘋
Generally speaking, performances are not part of Christmas parties: 壹般聖誕派對參與者不需要表演
The tone of Christmas parties is more warm, friendly, enjoy people's company: 聖誕派對的基調壹般比較溫馨、友愛、陪伴
Don't drink too much or party too hard: 別喝太多、玩兒太瘋
New Year's party is more about crazy partying and lots of drinking: 之後的元旦派對就比較瘋狂、喝很多
?玩兒得很瘋?有兩個有趣的說法，都和town有關：
Go to town
Paint the town red
What to say? 聖誕祝福說什麽?
Christmas greetings and wishes: 聖誕祝福語
最好用的當然就是：
Merry Christmas!
可以說Merry X'mas嗎?
X'mas通常用於非正式的書寫，口語還是Christmas更常用
這幾年，美國也有很多人說：Happy Holidays! 節日快樂
Since not everyone is a Christian: 因為不是所有人都信基督教
It's very PC (politically correct): 是個很政治正確的說法
But it makes some people really angry because they see their religion and culture not being respected: 但這也讓很多人很生氣，覺得自己的信仰被侵蝕
Say both! 那就兩個都說吧!
