Deck the Halls

Idiom: Deck the Halls Example 1: Jennifer:(singing) Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la! Olaf: What? I don’t understand a word you are singing! Jennifer: It’s an old Christmas carol, or song, Deck the Halls! Olaf: What does it mean? Jennifer: Well, “deck the halls” means to decorate for Christmas. A bough is a branch, so they are hanging up branches of holly. Olaf: Ummm, what is holly? Jennifer: Oh, it’s a type of flowering plant, usually with green leaves and small red round berries. Olaf: I see those everywhere at Christmas time. Teach me the song! Example #2 – Two roommates are talking at home Jack: This neighborhood is gorgeous. Look at all the Christmas lights. Terri: I know! Every single house is decorated with something unique. It’s a beautiful sight. Jack: Hey, I heard that Carlos is moving to this neighborhood with his new wife next year. Terri: Well, they had better be prepared to deck the halls and a whole lot more at Christmas time! Meaning: “Deck the halls” comes from an old Christmas carol, or song, and it simply means to put up decorations at Christmas time. @SBLA@OC@NELA@DTLA www.languagesystems.edu Posted by at 11:19 AM Labels: Christmas carol, Christmas lights, Christmas time, Christmas tree, deck all the halls, DTLA, NELA, OC, SBLA
