Chris: What are you doing over Christmas
Sonia: Not sure - will probably go to my brothers on Christmas Eve, but apart from that not sure. How about you?
Chris: Same - back to my mum's on Christmas Eve and then back home again on either Boxing Day or the day after.  
Sonia: I love the fact that Christmas is a family time.  
Chris: Yes me too. But after a few days I always want to run away from them! It makes me feel suffocated at times.
Sonia: True!  Think it is hard to go back home once you have left. 
Chris: Never mind - this is what Christmas is about isn't it?
Sonia: Yes always think that Christmas is family time and then New Year's Eve is for having fun!  
Chris: Talking of which I have a couple of passes for DeVinci's on New Year's Eve. It was a free gift for a big order we handled at work. Do you fancy joining me?
Sonia: Yes love to - I love that place! It has great music and lots of interesting people!
Chris: Yes....there are a lot of extroverts there plus the fashion lot.
Sonia: I know! I love being part of their world. Their clothes are amazing!
Chris: Amazing or just mad!  Anyway the ticket's yours! Catch up with you before Christmas!
Sonia: Cheers!
Sonia will visit her brother on Christmas Eve. Chris will spend it at his mother's and will come back the day after. They both love Christmas, but both find it tiresome to spend too much time with their families. Chris invites Sonia to the New Year's Eve party at DeVinci's. Sonia accepts.
