To have all your Christmases come at once

Скрипт видео: 0:07 Feifei: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. 0:10 I’m Feifei… 0:11 Rob: And I’m Rob. And I am so excited. 0:14 Feifei: Oh yeah? Why’s that, Rob? 0:16 Rob: You know, Feifei – it’s that festive time 0:19 of year – presents, parties, time with the 0:22 family, snow… did I mention presents? 0:25 Feifei: Yes, Rob. It’s Christmas time. 0:27 Rob: Come on, Feifei – aren’t you excited? 0:30 Imagine if we had lots of Christmases all 0:32 at the same time! 0:34 Feifei: Oh no, think of the cost of buying 0:36 all those presents. 0:38 Rob: But hopefully you’d receive lots of 0:40 presents too! Anyway, do you know that 0:42 for some people, all their Christmases 0:44 can come at once? 0:46 Feifei: I don’t think so! 0:48 Rob: OK, well, they’re not really Christmases, 0:50 but if someone has extreme good fortune, 0:53 it’s like the feeling of having lots of 0:55 Christmases all at the same time. 0:57 Feifei: Got it. Having all your Christmases 1:00 come at once just means ’having lots of 1:03 good luck’. 1:04 Rob: Yes! Let’s hear from some people 1:07 who’ve had all their Christmases come at once 1:09 – lucky them! 1:13 Yeah! I got a pay rise and I’m off on holiday tomorrow, 1:17 and I’ve won the lottery! 1:19 It seems like all my Christmases have come at once! 1:22 The day I got married, I heard I’d passed 1:24 my exams and got a promotion, so it felt like 1:28 all my Christmases had come at once. 1:31 All my Christmases have come at once: 1:34 my parents bought me a new car, I got a 1:36 place at university and I’ve got a new girlfriend! 1:42 Feifei: This is The English We Speak from 1:44 BBC Learning English and we’re learning 1:47 about the phrase ’to have all your 1:49 Christmases come at once’ 1:51 – which means ’to have extreme good fortune’. 1:55 Did you know, Rob, that I’ve had lots of good luck? 1:59 Rob: No. What’s happened? 2:00 Feifei: Well, I’ve been invited to a big 2:03 swanky Christmas party tonight, I’m going 2:06 skiing at the weekend and you’ve bought 2:08 me an amazing Christmas present. 2:11 Rob: Have I? 2:12 Feifei: Yes, in that box over there. 2:15 Rob: Oh, that’s not for you. Sorry. It looks 2:18 like not all of your Christmases have arrived! 2:20 Feifei: Oh well, you may as well have 2:22 your present now. 2:26 Rob: Hmm, a book of English phrases – 2:30 how useful! 2:31 Feifei: It will be. Happy Christmas, Rob! 2:34 Rob: Same to you, Feifei.
