Lassan végre lecsitul a vásárlási őrület és kezdetét veszi a meghitt szeretet-ünnep, amihez mi egyik kedvenc karácsonyi filmünkkel szeretnénk hozzájárulni. Ez a Love Actually (Igazából szerelem), ami alátámasztja a jó öreg közhelyt: a szerelem nem ismer határokat! Nagy színészek játszanak benne, mint például Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley vagy Alan Rickman (Harry Potter Piton professzora). Blogunkban részleteket elevenítünk fel a filmből, amelyek segítségével gyakorolhatod az angolt, például most megértheted végre az All I Want for Christmas Is You című híres karácsonyi slágert. Tudtad, hogy ez volt az első karácsonyi csengőhangok egyike?

Ha nem ismered a filmet, itt az ideje megnézned eredeti nyelven! Ha igen, nézd meg idén is, mi is ezt tesszük sokadszorra, mindig van mit tanulni belőle! :)

Még jelentkezünk idén egy könnyed szilveszteri angol leckével. Addig is kellemes, meghitt, békés Karácsonyt kívánunk Nektek, kedves blog olvasók!

I don't want a lot for Christmas 
There's just one thing I need 
I don't care about the presents 
Underneath the Christmas tree 
I just want you for my own 
More than you could ever know 
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is... 
You 

I don't want a lot for Christmas 
There's just one thing I need 
I don't care about the presents 
Underneath the Christmas tree 
I don't need to hang my stocking 
There upon the fireplace 
Santa Claus won't make me happy
  With a toy on Christmas day 
I just want you for my own 
More than you could ever know 
Make my wish come true 
All I want for Christmas is you 
You baby 

I won't ask for much this Christmas 
I don't even wish for snow 
I'm just gonna keep on waiting 
Underneath the mistletoe 
I won't make a list and send it 
To the North Pole for Saint Nick 
I won't even stay awake to 
Hear those magic reindeers click 
'Cause I just want you here tonight 
Holding on to me so tight 
What more can I do 
Baby all I want for Christmas is you 
Ooh baby 
All the lights are shining 
So brightly everywhere 
And the sound of children's 
Laughter fills the air 
And everyone is singing 
I hear those sleigh bells ringing 
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need 
Won't you please bring my baby to me... 

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas 
This is all I'm asking for 
I just want to see my baby 
Standing right outside my door 
Oh I just want you for my own 
More than you could ever know 
Make my wish come true 
Baby all I want for Christmas is.
