Everyone hopes for a white Christmas that means you have snow on Christmas. I live in Vancouver it will only snow maybe like I don't know how many days a year like four or five days a year or something like that. Everybody hopes that it's snowing on Christmas or the day before Christmas so they can have a white Christmas. Last year I don't remember exactly but I feel like we might have had a white Christmas and everyone was very happy. Okay the second Christmas idiom is "good things come in small packages" so that means if you get presents you can get like a very big present you can get some medium-sized presents or a small present if you get a very small present it might actually be something expensive it could be like a ring or a necklace or another piece of jewelry so you could say "oh good things come in small packages". The next Christmas idiom is "Christmas came early". That means something good happened kind of unexpectedly. So for example: if you get a raise or you get a bonus at work you could say "Oh Christmas came early" because maybe you didn't expect that to happen. The next one is "you and yours". So that's a way to say you and then your loved ones so, for example, you could say "wishing you and yours all the best" or "please give my love to you and yours" so you and the people that you love your children or your extended family. The final Christmas idiom is "the more the merrier". So this could refer to a party or a dinner or something like that so if someone says "oh is it okay if I bring my boyfriend to the party?" you could say "the more the merrier", that means the more people the better. Okay so those are my top five Christmas idioms. Please leave a comment and tell me if you have a special Christmas idiom that you like.
