Christmas is one of the most important celebrations of the year for the western countries. It falls on the twenty- fifth of December and has the same importance as Chinese New Year to people with English backgrounds. The celebration is for the birth of Jesus Christ, who is the son of God in Christianity. Now days Christmas is no longer only celebrated by the Christians, but by most people from all over the world.
On the twenty- fourth of December everyone gets excited for it’s the day before Christmas which is called Christmas Eve. The children are usually sent to bed early and are warned that “Santa Claus will only come and give you a present if you be good.” The younger kids actually believe that Santa will come down the chimney on the sleigh that’s pulled by his reindeers. Food like short bread and beer are prepared for Santa when he comes, however most times parents just eat them. Some children put socks and sacks up for the holding of the presents (that their parents put in).
Rise and shine on Christmas morning! The children are always the first ones to wake up, some even do at four. Present wrappers everywhere! They look into their presents with a big smile on their face and oh dear….I hope no one’s disappointed. I feel sorry for anyone that got pink underwear. Children play while dinner is prepared by the adults. The Christmas dinner are usually eaten together by relatives. The tradition of Christmas pudding and roosters are usually eaten with deserts afterwards. The rest of the day is usually games and fun before the good days all come to an end.
圣诞节是西方国家一年中最重要的庆祝活动之一。这是十二月的第二十五，对有英语背景的人来说和春节一样重要。这是为了庆祝Jesus Christ的诞生，他是基督教的上帝之子。现在，圣诞节不再仅仅是基督教徒庆祝，而是来自世界各地的大多数人庆祝。
十二月的第二十四日，每个人都很兴奋，因为圣诞节的前一天是圣诞节前夕。孩子们通常早睡，并警告称，“圣诞老人只会给你的礼物如果你是好的。”年轻的孩子们相信Santa会上，坐在驯鹿拉的雪橇从烟囱。当Santa来的时候，像短面包和啤酒这样的食物是为他准备的，但是大多数时候父母只吃它们。有些孩子把袜子和麻袋拿起来拿礼物(他们的父母穿上了)。
在圣诞节早晨升起和照耀！孩子们总是第一个醒来，有些甚至四岁起床。到处包装!他们看着他们的礼物，脸上带着灿烂的笑容，哦，亲爱的……我希望没有人失望。我为那些穿粉红色内衣的人感到难过。孩子们玩耍，晚餐由大人准备。圣诞晚餐通常由亲戚一起吃。圣诞布丁和公鸡的传统，通常吃过之后。在美好的日子结束之前，剩下的时间通常是游戏和娱乐。
Although Christmas is a Western holiday, but now there are many Chinese people love it, perhaps because in the day we can get many gifts, or perhaps because it is.
Interesting, but I love it, and more than that, but also because we are teachers and students together, happy, except that the "red, green and white" between teachers and students outside of deep love.
Hope the stars, get the moon, and finally looked forward happy Christmas. On that day, I arrived gate, suddenly, I was shocked, and saw a Santa Claus holding a saxophone, where side-hop edge blowing, extremely beautiful and it is filled with gifts and lawn around the time I really well want to touch it, the way it should be a gift ah! "Hey! A pity! It is simply impossible. Immediately, I saw two or three from Santa Claus face, hands, also took a number of things, but unfortunately do not see what is inside. Powerful sense of curiosity that I can not help to pour into the crowd, along for the ride. "So is the candy ah!" Although I rarely eat candy, but not today, I would have to carry on eating one meal, even if I lost half of the teeth.
虽然圣诞节是西方的节日，但现在有很多中国人喜欢它，也许是因为在白天我们可以得到很多礼物，也许是因为它是。
很有意思，但我喜欢它，而且不止于此，也因为我们是老师和学生在一起，快乐，除了那“红、绿、白”之外，老师和学生之间的深情。
希望星星，得到月亮，最后期待圣诞快乐。在那一天，我来到门口，突然，我惊呆了，看见圣诞老人抱着一个萨克斯管，边跳边吹，美丽极了，充满了天赋和草坪周围的时候我真的很想去触摸它，它应该是一个礼物啊！”嘿!可惜!这简直是不可能的。顿时，我看到两、三个从圣诞老人脸上、手上，也拿了一些东西，可惜看不见里面是什么东西。强烈的好奇心，让我忍不住要涌向人群，一起兜风。原来是糖果啊!虽然我很少吃糖，但今天不行，我就得继续吃一顿饭，哪怕我掉了一半的牙齿。
On the night before Christmas, all across the world, millions of children will be tucked in their beds while visions of sugarplums dance in their heads. When they awake they will check their stockings to see if Santa Claus has come.
Santa Claus has become the most beloved of Christmas symbols and traditions. The image of the jolly old elf flying in a sleigh pulled by reindeers and leaving toys and gifts for every child is know worldwide.
Just like the season of Christmas, the history of the origins of Santa Claus is influenced by the customs and cultures of many countries, beginning in Asia Minor sometime around the 4th century AD. It was here that Bishop Nicholas became renowned for his exceptional generosity, especially to the very young. Many years later he became known as Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children.
As time went on, adults began to dress in the manner of Saint Nicholas, dressed in Bishops vestments and carrying a staff., to re-enact the kindness of the saint. They went from house to house, asking if the children who lived there had been well behaved. In response to these visits, the children left their shoes outside the doors of their houses so that next morning they might find them filled with sweets and trinkets.
An Anglo-Saxon version eventually evolved and was known as Father Christmas. His character was a mixture of the Saint Nicholas and earthly perceptions of the gods Thor and Saturn. He wore robes decorated with ivy and holly and carried a switch to threaten unruly children, as well as a bag of toys to reward the well behaved.
在圣诞前夜，全世界的数百万儿童将藏在自己的床上，在他们头上糖果舞蹈幻象。当他们醒来时，他们会检查他们的长统袜，看看圣诞老人是否来了。
圣诞老人已成为最受欢迎的圣诞象征和传统。的老精灵坐在雪橇上飞像驯鹿拉的，给每个孩子带来玩具和礼物是知道的世界。
正如圣诞节的季节一样，圣诞老人起源的历史受到许多国家的风俗习惯和文化的影响，从公元前四世纪左右的亚洲小调开始，尼古拉斯主教以其非凡的慷慨而闻名于世，特别是对非常年轻的人。许多年后，他被称为圣·尼古拉斯，孩子的守护神。
随着时间的推移，大人开始给圣·尼古拉斯的方式，身着主教法衣和执行人员，重新制定的圣善。他们从一家到另一家，询问住在那里的孩子们是否表现良好。针对这些访问，孩子们把鞋放在他们的房子的门，以便次日早晨他们可能发现他们装满糖果和小饰品。
盎格鲁撒克逊版本最终演变为圣诞老人。他的性格是圣·尼古拉斯和尘世对神托尔和萨图恩的看法的混合体。他穿着用常春藤和冬青树装饰的长袍，拿着一个开关来恐吓那些无法无天的孩子，还有一袋玩具奖励那些行为端正的孩子。
