Welcome to the English we speak.
I'm Beth.
And I'm Fayfay.
We have an expression all about being very happy,
particularly when your face suddenly reflects how happy or excited you are.
It's a nice phrase for Christmas and it has a Christmas word in it.
It's light up like a Christmas tree.
Light up like a Christmas tree.
Can you give us some context, Beth?
Well, think about a Christmas tree.
When you turn on the lights, it's suddenly much brighter.
It's full of life and energy.
Now imagine this being your face.
Last year I got a puppy for Christmas.
It was such a shock when I saw him.
I lit up like a Christmas tree.
I was so happy.
Wow.
I can imagine your face very excited.
When I was a child, I really wanted a doll's house.
