Hey , May , how are you doing ?   Oh , I'm a little busy these days .   Why is that ?   Don ’ t you know Christmas is coming ? I have a lot of things to get ready .   But you ’ re in China . Are you planning on going home for Christmas ?   Yeah , so I have to buy presents for everyone before I leave .   Why not just give them money in red envelopes ? That would be much easier .   Americans don ’ t like giving money , they prefer presents you buy for them . So I have to figure out what to buy for all of my family and friends .
