And then they decorated them with fruits, candies, cookies and candles.The first Christmas trees in America were set up by German immigrants(移民) in the 1820s.

Or, he can save $3 if he has no soft drinks. He can save on lunches if he brings his own.He may be able to save on CDs by borrowing them from his friends or buying them second-hand. He doesn’t have to go to the movies or restaurants.Different people need or want different things, so their budgets are different. Girls may not like computer games.

This is because we have to pay for some things only once a month or once a year. Clothes, textbooks, vacations, and so on are not weekly expenses (开支). They are monthly or yearly expenses.41.
