Todd: So, Santi, now you are from Indonesia but you actually are Christian, correct?
Santi: Yes.
Todd: And now most people in Indonesia are Muslim.
Santi: Yes, that's true.
Todd: Right, so are there any other major religions in Indonesia?
Santi: Oh, we have about six religions, actually: Muslim, Christians. We have two types of Christians: Catholic and Christians, and then we have Buddhists and Hindus and Confucius.
Todd: So you are Christian?
Santi: Yes.
Todd: So do you have a ... do you celebrate Christmas specially, like Indonesian style?

Todd: So what do you normally do for Christmas?

Todd: That's it?
Santi: Yes.

Santi: No.
Todd: No Christmas tree?
Santi: No.
Todd: No giving presents?
Santi: No. Even for Christmas tree, my mom always tells that if you want to decorate the tree, you have to - well - clean it up later, so we just like ... ok, maybe later on.
Todd: You don't want to do it.
Santi: No.
Todd: Wow. OK, that's interesting. So Christmas is very basic and simple?
Santi: Yes.
Todd: Well, actually that's kind of nice. I think a lot of people from other Christian countries would probably prefer that Christmas was that way.
Santi: Really? Well, as a children I expect a present actually from my parents but they don't give me so ... it's OK.
Todd: So, were you bummed when you didn't get a present?
Santi: Yes, sometimes. Well, looking for other friends that they got presents, like, a bunch of presents from their parents or their uncles but, well, me and my sister just don't so ...
Todd: Well, that's OK, though. I mean I think maybe that's even better because maybe that teaches children a lesson, you know. So does that mean you never get presents or gifts or money or anything?
