Alien Christmas

Imagine this: On December 20 a spaceship drops off a friendly alien in your backyard. You walk outside to meet the visitor. He looks passably human, speaks reasonable English, and explains that his goal is to spend a week on the planet to learn about its people. He asks you to be his guide for the week.

You show him around your house and your neighbourhood. He notices all the Christmas decorations everywhere and he asks a LOT of questions!
