ロキシーと彼女の父親がクリスマスシーズンに向けて準備をしています。
What are you doing with those old notebooks, Dad?
I’m trying to make a Christmas dinner guest list. It’s hard to find people’s contact information.
Don’t worry about it, Dad. I’ll take care of the invitations. The biggest problem is making the dinner.
Making a traditional Christmas dinner is easy. You liked my Thanksgiving turkey, didn’t you?
Yeah, it was great.
The Christmas turkey will be even better. And this time, I won’t burn the pie.

What sort of problem, Omega?
I’m getting a red light on the fuel indicator. I’m going to play it safe and shut down the engine.

Bob, how do you paint so quickly? You’re really fast.

You don’t even look at the thing you’re painting.

But I don’t have a good imagination like you.
You can develop that too. The important thing is to relax. That really helps.
OK, I’ll give it a try.

I think we should postpone our trip to Hokkaido.

I know, but have you seen the weather forecast? They’re warning of a snow storm for this weekend.
Yes, but it might not be that bad. Forecasts are often wrong.
Still, I don’t think we should take the risk. We can go another time.
Well, I suppose you’re right. Let’s wait until the weather is better.

Let’s play it safe and buy him the fountain pen that he’s been keen to get.
