Christmas Is Coming!

It's almost Christmas! My favourite time of the year. My personal waiting for the December, 24^th starts when I hear for the first time on the radio “Last Christmas” by Wham. Don't ask! It's something that for years wakes up my impatience and all the Christmas Spirit.

I've decided to prepare for you two listening exercises with that song. Let's see if I can spread my 80s Christmassy love ;)
