English speakers sometimes include this word to add a casual, friendly feeling to their speech.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For students, learning when to use \"little\" in this way naturally may take some time, so be sure to listen for it in songs, movies and everyday conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"The-Christmas-Song\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CThe_Christmas_Song%E2%80%9D_1946_%E2%80%93_Nat_King_Cole\"><\/span>&#8220;<mdspan datatext=\"el1638280956002\" class=\"mdspan-comment\">The Christmas Song<\/mdspan>&#8221; (1946) \u2013 Nat King Cole<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nat King Cole - &quot;The Christmas Song&quot;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A8eWaR8ONvw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This song describes the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Chestnuts roasting on an open fire <br><strong>Jack Frost<\/strong> <strong>nipping<\/strong> at your nose  <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/12\/13135117\/shutterstock_2059346042asd-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1804\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/12\/13135117\/shutterstock_2059346042asd-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/12\/13135117\/shutterstock_2059346042asd-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.blog.engoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/12\/13135117\/shutterstock_2059346042asd-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Berries covered in frost<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\"Frost\" is a thin layer of ice that appears when the weather is very cold.
