F: Hey, Paul, you're still having Thanksgiving dinner at my house on Thursday, right? ,M: Yeah, thanks again for the invitation. I was worried I'd have to spend it alone after my parents announced they'd be in Finland. ,F: I think it's strange that you're not going with them. Is it because of the cold weather in Northern Europe? ,M: Not exactly. I have a lot of work to do next week. ,F: Well, I'm glad you won't be alone on a holiday. It'll be great to have you celebrate with us. The more the merrier! ,M: Exactly, how many people will be there? ,F: Let's see, my parents, my grandpa, my sister, my brother-in-law, my niece and my two cousins, plus us. So, ten people altogether. ,M: Should I bring anything? ,F: Nope, we've got it covered.
