[music]

Are you hanging up? You're stucking on

the wall. [singing]

It's a time when every [singing]

Santa has a ball. [music]

Does he ride around [music] reeer? Does

he turn up on his sleigh? [music]

Do the fairies keep him sober for

[singing] a day?

So here is

[music] Christmas. Everybody's [singing]

having fun. [music]

Look to the future now. It's only just

[music] beun.

Are you waiting [singing and music] for

the family to arrive?

[music]

Are you sure you got the room to spare

inside?

>> [music]

>> Does your granny [singing] always tell

you that the old songs are [singing] the

best? [music]

Then she's all rock and rolling with the

rest.

Sing it. So here [music] is

Christmas.

Everybody's

[music]

What [music] will your daddy do

[singing] when he sees your mama kissing

Santa Claus? [music]

Oh,

are you hanging on? You're stucking on

the wall.

Are you hoping [music] that [singing]

the snow start to fall?

Do you [music] ride on down the hillside

in a [singing] buggy [music] you have

made? If you land upon your head, then

you've been [music] slain.

So here is

Christmas. [music]

Everybody's

having fun.

[music]

Just

from the front to [laughter] the back.

[music] Oh, here is

Merry Christmas. Everybody's [singing]

having fun.

Look [music] to the future now. It's

Key Grammar Structures

• Are you hanging up? You're stucking on the wall.

  ➔ Present continuous for an action happening now, incorrect verb form ('stucking')

  ➔ The phrase uses the present continuous tense – “Are you **hanging** up?” – to describe an action happening at the moment of speaking. However, 'stucking' is not a correct verb form; it should be 'stuck'.

• Does he ride around reeer?

  ➔ Interrogative with 'do' + base form of verb, unusual onomatopoeia ('reeer')

  ➔ This line forms a question using the auxiliary verb **'do'** and the base form of the verb **'ride'**. The 'reeer' is likely an attempt at an onomatopoeic sound, but it's not a standard word.

• What will your daddy do when he sees your mama kissing Santa Claus?

  ➔ Future continuous with 'will' + base form, conditional clause (when + present simple)

  ➔ This sentence uses the future continuous tense – **'will do'** – to describe an action that will be in progress at a specific time in the future. The **'when'** clause introduces a conditional situation.

• Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made?

  ➔ Present simple for habitual actions, relative clause ('you have made')

  ➔ The verb **'ride'** is in the present simple, suggesting this is something the speaker does regularly. The phrase **'you have made'** is a relative clause modifying 'buggy', providing additional information about it.
