Does anybody have any Christmas-themed lessons for high school students? New Years-themed lessons would be fine too.

The previous teacher here did a lesson based on the differences between WISH and HOPE.

I wish you + noun (happiness)
I wish I + simple past verb (had a bicycle)

I hope you + simple present or future verb (have lots of success)

I posted some stuff on this thread: http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/korea/viewtopic.php?t=48770

However, I'd really like some even easier and more passive stuff for the last week, after exams, when there's really not much happening at school. Does anyone know of a downloadable Christmas video that's not too long?

Making Christmas cards is also a lot of fun. Hint: bring along a chocolate bar as a prize for the student with the most English on his / her card, or it will turn to nothing but an art class.

Thanks for your ideas. It sure sounds like you are good at motivating the students to get some work done. I think you certainly deserve your free chicken and beer!

For new years we're going to look at new years resolutions, mebbe try and find a friends episode where they make them. (insert relevant listening exercise here) then we'll make one following a template and then one from scratch.

Thinking of then having guess the persons resolution but it might be a little too personal. We'll see.
