Christmas idioms
Here are some interesting related idioms you can share with your class once they have completed the Christmas conversation questions.
To say that all someone’s Christmas’s have come at once means that they have been very lucky. Similarly, if someone says that Christmas has come early, then they are saying that they are also very lucky and something good has happened to them that they did not expect.
The idiom “like turkeys voting for Christmas” is used to describe someone making a choice that will bring them harm or be bad for them. This refers to the fact that in North America Turkeys are often eaten for Christmas dinner.
