Number 65: Have a ball!

Hello everybody!

 

Have you already had your work Christmas party? If so, did you enjoy yourself?

 

Have a look at the following expressions for having fun:

 

to have a ball (to enjoy yourself immensely)

 

A: How was the party last night?

 

B: Absolutely brilliant! We had a ball!

 

to have the time of your life (to enjoy yourself very much)

 

We spent 4 weeks in Australia and had the time of our lives!

 

to have a whale of a time (to enjoy yourself a lot)

 

A: Did you go to Tom’s birthday party on Saturday?

 

B: Yeah, we had a whale of a time!  

 

So, I hope you had a ball at your Christmas party, and that you have a whale of a time with your family and friends over the Christmas holidays!

 

All the best and have a great start to 2016!
