Represent the dialog for retrieving similar scenarios Speaker2: Only 1 month till Christmas!
Speaker1: Yeah, time's really flying, isn't it?
Speaker2: Tell me about it. I still remember last Christmas as if it was yesterday.
Speaker1: Who usually buys the gifts in your family.
Speaker2: Ronnie loves buying presents for the kids. He usually picks them out so meticulously.
Speaker1: I do all the buying in my family. Hank's usually busy with work at this time of year. It's so interesting to see how shopping's moved to the net over the years.
Speaker2: I know. I remember like 10 years ago, no one would have thought twice about choosing clothes by just looking at the pics online.
Speaker1: Toys are a little easier. I mean, obviously there's no difference between the toy at the store and the one on your screen. Plus, you can do your shopping in pajamas!
Speaker2: True. But it's kind of sad how everything changed in the last 10 years. It's such a short span of time. There's just something about shopping around the holidays, there's a certain magic in the air, you know what I mean?
Speaker1: I hear ya. But I thought Ronnie does all the Christmas shopping :)
Speaker2: He does, but you obviously I have to pick out his gift :)
Speaker1: Speaking of Ronnie, what are you planning for him this year?
Speaker2: Well, I was thinking of a nice watch? What do you think?
Speaker1: I'm sure he'll love it. I'm buying my beau a new toolkit. He's been kind of hinting at it for a long while. Where are you guys going for Christmas this year?
Speaker2: We're going to Hank's for Christmas Eve and then we're going to my family the next day. A marathon, like usual!
Speaker1: That's the thing about the holidays, you wait for them, but then you're glad their over :)
Speaker2: I just hope it snows this year. It seems like it's been a while since we've had snow in Dec.
Speaker1: I don't mind not having any, actually. It makes driving so much easier, you know.
Speaker2: I usually drive more than you during Christmas ;) Your family is all in one city!
Speaker1: Yeah, but you wouldn't believe the traffic in the city. Once you leave out on the highway, you leave all the traffic behind. Speaking of traffic, I'm stuck in it now. Actually, I shouldn't be texting you now. I gotta watch it for cops
Speaker2: Ok, talk to you later.
Speaker1: Ok, bye
