>>Лена: Значит, большой вечер вы устраиваете на Рождество? >>Lena: That means you arrange a big evening on/for Christmas? Устраивать вечер here means to prepare a party. I'm not sure how the whole sentence should look like.
>>Гэри: Ну, как тебе сказать? Стол действительно большой. Но Рождество обычно отмечают в семье. >>Gary: Hm, how to tell you? A really big table [semantically, feast?] But Christmas is usually celebrated in the family. Стол действительно большой means a lot of dishes is served etc. Big feast or big banquet or something like that.
>>Нелли: Да. Как раз 25-го я здесь очень скучала по своим. Ведь если бы я была дома, мы дарили бы друг подарки, мы с мамой готовили бы обед, пошли бы в церковь... >>Nelly: Yes. Just this 25th I missed everyone very much. [?] If I were at home now we would give gifts [to our] friends, we would make dinner with Mama, we would go to church...
[?] - no, it's correct. "мы дарили бы друг подарки" this thrase is wrong. It should be either "мы дарили бы друзьям подарки" - then your translation is correct, either and more probably (? How to say that?) "мы дарили бы друг другу подарки". Друг другу - to each other.
