春节是我们中国农历的新年，所以过年对我们中国人而言非常重要的！因此，春节前的准备也是必不可少的。

过年了！过年了！家家户户忙着贴春联，剃头发，做年夜饭要做的事情太多了，而且“规矩”太多了！有些习俗还很怪，无奈之下，我就去问正在贴春联的妈妈。

我看见妈妈将“福”字倒着贴，我固然知道为什么要倒着贴，将‘福’字倒着贴是一种习俗，‘福’倒贴说明‘福’倒（到）了！但我仍然问道：“过年有什么习俗和规矩啊？”妈妈停下手中的活，耐心地给我谈起来。

原来，以前过年还有一种放鞭炮的习俗，来源于“年兽”的故事。很久以前有一只“年兽”，长期居住深海底，到了除夕就跃出海面到处作恶。有一年一个老人用放炮，穿红衣，贴红春联的方法驱赶走“年兽”，这才得以平静，此后这个方法就流传开来。但是现在广州禁止燃放烟花爆竹，所以我们就不再进行这个活动了。

除夕这一天对我国来说是极为重要的。这天晚上，我们全家准备除旧迎新，吃团年饭。吃年夜饭，是春节家家户户最热闹愉快的时候。大年夜．丰盛的年菜摆满一桌 ，全家团聚，围坐桌旁，共吃团圆饭。人们既是享受满桌的佳肴，也是享受那份快乐的气氛，桌上有鸡、鹅、烧肉等等，一般少不了两样东西，一是火锅，一是鱼。火锅热气腾腾，说明红红火火；“鱼”和“余”谐音，喻意“年年有余”。最后一道甜食，祝福往后的日子甜甜蜜蜜。

今天我的收获太大了，知道了很多过年习俗的知识，不过我觉得有点迷信，但这又仿佛是一种乐趣，只要快乐就好，何必迷信不迷信？更何况这是传统的习俗，宁可信其有不可信其无啊！

Then, the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken.

They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted. He shouted our, "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." The hall After that, they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there, the other three stood around him, each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right:"The dog stands out among a group of chickens."

New Year Party

On New Years Eve，our class had a party。 The atmosphere was good。 It was out of the ordinary from the very begining。 The boy student from one bedroom gave an unusual performance。 We saw a boy named Li Xinmin turn off all the lights in a sudden snap。 Then with three resounding（响亮的） crow of a cock echoing in the hall，the hall was again brightly lit in a snap。

过年喽！过年喽！新的一年又来到了。小朋友们，你们知道过年是有怎样的来历吗？有怎样的习俗吗？哈哈，就让我来告诉大家吧！

相传以前，有一头叫“年”的怪兽。每到除夕这天。村里的人们便逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。

这年除夕，人们准备上山避难。这时，从村外来了一个乞讨老人，乡亲们谁都顾不上这位乞讨老人。只有一位老婆婆给了老人一些食物，并劝他快上山躲避“年”兽，老人笑道：“婆婆若让我借宿一夜，定把‘年’撵走。”半夜时分，“年”兽闯进村，发现老婆婆家门贴大红纸，屋内灯火通明，还传来了“噼里啪啦”的鞭炮声。“年”最怕红色、火光和鞭炮声，只能狼狈逃蹿。第二天，人们回来后，村里依然安然无恙。

这件事很快传开了，人们都知道了驱赶“年”的办法。

从此，每年除夕，家家户户贴红对联、燃放爆竹、守更待岁。这种风俗越传越广，最后成为了中国民间最隆重的传统节日——春节。

知道了过年的来历，就让我们再去了解一下绍兴人是怎样过年的吧！

在绍兴，一跨入农历十二月，人们就忙着准备过年：裹粽、掸尘、杀鸡宰鹅、晒鱼干、酱猪肉，准备新年的衣裳，购买赠送亲友的礼品。

腊月二十三晚上，家家户户都要送灶神上天。送灶神之后，除夕之前，每户人家总要选择一个祝福的吉日，这是一年之中最为隆重的大祭典。绍兴人叫祝福菩萨，来答谢神明保佑和祈求来年幸福。人们都说，天上的菩萨，不进不洁之家。因此，祝福之前，必须把厅堂、祭桌、祭器等掸扫、洗刷得干干净净。

大年夜，首先要给祖宗分岁，就是祭祖。祭祖后，一家人就会聚在一起吃年夜饭，年夜饭所备饭菜是最为丰盛的一餐。年夜饭后，就是“辞岁”，小孩向长辈行礼，长辈将事先用红纸所包的钱币分发给晚辈，俗称“压岁钱”。在新年的钟声敲响的时候，有些人会燃放爆竹，俗称放关门炮仗。有些人则嬉戏娱乐，通宵不眠，直至天明，俗称守岁、坐长命夜，据说坐长生夜可以保佑长生不老。

过年的习俗，绍兴和外地大同小异。在新年旧岁交替的一个月里，人们就是这么忙碌着的。

There are many festivals in China，During these holidays, my favorite holiday is Chinese New Year.Not only because it’s the biggest festival in the year, but also because it’s a new beginning that brings hope to people and it’s time for family gathering.Before the festival, people come home no matter where they are.Usually, we have a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. And then families sit together and share their lives or planes.Some will play games or hang out to have some fun.

On the New Year’s Day, people get up early and say good words to anyone they meet.Children can get lucky money from relatives.In the following days, we will visit relative’s home and bring New Year’s wishes to them.In short, it’s a time for family gathering and all of us enjoy it.

在中国，一年有很多节日，在这些节日中，我最喜欢春节。这不仅因为它是一年中最大的节日，更因为它是新一年的开始，给人们带来新的希望，也因为它是亲朋好友团聚的时刻。不管身在何方，人们总会在春节前回到家里准备过节。

通常，我们会在除夕夜吃一顿丰盛的晚餐，之后家人团座一起，分享一年以来的生活以及新年计划。有的人则会玩游戏或者出去玩。大年初一，人们通常会早起，会与见到的人说吉祥话。孩子们会得到压岁钱。在接下来的几天里，人们会带上新年祝福互相串门拜年。总之，春节是一个欢聚一堂、供人享乐的日子。

“小孩，小孩，你别馋，过了腊八就是年，腊八节，真热闹，大街小巷有年味道。”这是小时候，阿婆教我的家乡过年时的童曲。现在大多忘干净了。但是，家乡那一道道绕过青山的年味道中的年规（习俗）我可一样没忘。

我是南方人，春节的习俗比北方多许多。

小时候，在农村的阿婆家住，阿婆和阿爹是地地道道的农村人，每逢过年，规矩可多了，例如：全村人凑在一块打糟米（年糕用的主要原料）时，未出嫁的姑娘家是不可以去凑热闹，阿婆每次都不让我去，说什么姑娘家看打糟米会嫁不出，我信以为真，就不去了。可现在我也弄不清楚是真是假。那时的我只能在家偷喝八春酒。八春酒是一种药酒，是用黑枣、荔枝、桂圆、杏仁、陈皮、枸杞、薏仁米，外加上几粒橄榄。泡上几个月，打开来，酒香加药香，那才叫一个鲜美，阿婆是老一辈的人，是做八春酒师太，村里很多人都找她学。阿婆对村民们说：“八春酒，是强健身体的，还可以明目。”阿婆是不让我喝酒的，说什么太补了，小孩不可以喝的。我偏不信，等外婆去打糟米时，我就跑过去偷喝，村里人每家一个地窖，我家也不例外，阿婆总是把竽头、春笋，当然还有八春酒了放在地窖里。那时候，我小，总觉得外婆家酒缸好大，不过真的好大，我那时会拿那种专门舀竹勺舀起来喝。许多次，都晕睡在地窖中，阿婆找我时，那才叫一个哭笑不得。

家乡人并不贪喝八春酒，那是因为喝八春酒是一种习俗。村里哪一家没酿八春酒，如果不酿的话，来年一定是祸害不断；相反，酿了酒的人家是一定红运当头，年年全家健康的。

再说一说我们的年席吧。我们的年席不是一家办的，而是全村人办，一家分配一个任务，东家包饺子，西家自是煮腊肉了。再把各家桌子搬到最宽阔的地方并成一排，一起过年。平时，有大人上席，小娃子就不可以上席的，可年席不同啦，大人坐一块，小孩坐一块，可热闹了。

民俗是人类文明的积淀中一个重要的组成部分。它代表着一个民族特色和文化。

Every Italian family has a model of the birth of Jesus. On Christmas Eve, All families get together for a big meal and attend Christmas mass at midnight.

At Christmas, the italians have a very good custom, and children write or write poems thanking their parents for their upbringing. Their works are hidden in napkins, dishes, or tablecloths before they have a Christmas meal. After they had finished the meal, they retrieved it and read it to everyone.

每一个意大利的家庭，都放有耶稣诞生故事的模型景物。在圣诞前夕，家人团聚吃大餐，到午夜时参加圣诞弥撒。完毕之后，便去访问亲友，只有小孩和年老的人得到礼物。在圣诞节，意大利人有一种很好的风俗，儿童们作文或撰诗歌，表示感谢他们的父母在这年来给他们的教养。他们的作品，在未吃圣诞大餐之前，被暗藏在餐巾里、碟子的下面或是桌布里，父母装作看不见。在他们吃完大餐之后，便把它取回，向大家朗读。

小年，即每年农历腊月23或24，它是庆祝整个春节活动的开始和伏笔，主要活动有两项：扫年和祭灶. 扫年，即扫尘，实际上就是搞家庭环境卫生。北方人以腊月23为小年，称“扫房”;南方人以腊月24为小年，称“掸尘”.这一天每家每户黎明升起，扫房擦窗，清洗衣物，刷洗锅瓢，实行彻底的卫生大扫除.据《拾遗记》记载这个习俗可以追溯到3000多年前，当时先民驱役鬼，祈福安康的宗教仪式.后“尘”与“陈”谐音，故扫尘就是一扫而光陈旧的东西，这既指庭院里的陈年老垢，也指旧岁中碰到的不快。

祭灶，即祭送灶神升天.古代，科技不发达，人们奉灶神为了控制家庭饮食的神明，认为灶神要在小年晚上向玉帝述职，玉帝对这家的赏罚全在灶神的汇报了.祭灶的祭品中最具民俗的是“糖瓜”，一说糖瓜是甜的，可使灶神在玉帝面前只说甜言蜜语;一说糖瓜是粘的，可以粘灶神的牙，使他的坏话出不了口.祭祀时，将供奉一年的灶神像揭下，焚化，算是送祭升天.至今民间仍有“糖瓜祭灶，新年来到”之说。

除夕，是指每年农历腊月的最后一天(今年公历二月六日)，它与春节(正月初一)首尾相连。“除夕”中的“除”字是“去;易;交替”的意思，除夕的意思是“旧岁至此而除，新年明晨而始”，故此期间的活动都围绕着除旧部新，禳灾祈福为中心。 除夕的主要活动有三项：吃团圆饭，祭祀，守岁。其中最有特点的还是守岁。

守岁，俗称“熬夜”，即除夕之夜，达旦不眠。传说，远古时侯有一种凶猛的怪物叫“年”，它每到腊月的最后一天夜里出来吞食人畜，危害百姓。后来，人们发现它的弱点是怕火光，怕声音，于是人们便在除夕之夜，通宵不眠，燃起火堆，焚烧青竹，使其发出爆响，年这个怪物也就不敢出来为非作歹了。从此就留下了除夕晚上熬夜和放炮的习俗。不过，守岁还有一项重要的工作：包饺子，而且还必须包素馅的饺子，这是为了希望在新的一年里“素素净净，平安顺利”。还有人在饺子里放糖，花生等物，吃到糖者意味着生活甜蜜，吃到花生者意味着长寿。

注意，守岁还有不少禁忌，如禁扫地，过小年时，平时很难触及的角落都要打扫干净，而进入除夕至大年初一早晨，即使地面再乱也不能扫，习惯上认为那样会“破财”。再如，禁用剪刀，禁说“没有了”凡此种种，都是人们盼望吉祥的心理反映。

This year I have a happy spring featival with my family.

On New Years Eve,all the family people get together to have a big dinner in the resturant.During the dinner we have a small talk and play some games.We say some good hope to each other.For example,keep good healthe,try your best to do everything,have a good mood in this year,happy everyday and so on.

The first year of the year is a happy holiday for every child. Of course, I am no exception.

Today, my father and mother took me back to the countryside to go back to the country and come back to the countryside. New clothes are all wearing beautiful, a tight uncle home, hung around the festive decorations, so I hastened to di Ershen said: "I wish happy new year, uncle Ershen congratulation!" "Darling, give you a big red ershen." I took the red bag, the red bag full and full, I think: there must be a lot of money. My heart is like eating sugar.

After lunch, I went out to "make money". Walk, walk, gee, isnt that three aunts? So I walked up to the three aunts and said, "Happy New Year!" The three aunts listened, laughed and gave me a red bag, and I saw it so effective. Then, I repeat those actions... Well, at the time of dinner, I was tired of calling my mouth, but I saw my deep pocket, and my eyes were shining. Although there are so much money, but I will never waste a tiny bit. Suddenly, a burst of firecrackers disturbed my thoughts, the original is a group of friends in the small firecrackers, ah, I really miss the childhood friends together and jubilant firecrackers at ah, then, one day the whole week I happy to firecrackers, a time gone.

After dinner, both my parents and I went home, looking forward to the good tomorrow.

按照我的家乡的习俗，春节差不多在小孩子放假的时候就开始了。而家家户户也会在这几天里尽量的吧需要的食材准备好，开始做食物。

在这期间，我们老家人最重视的食物就是——茶果。它虽不如外面那些零七八碎惹人喜爱，也不如那些可以调制出来的糕点好瞧，但却有一股浓浓的情谊包含在里面。

它长得千奇百怪，有平凡丑陋，但在我的老家确堪称美味点心这一代号，它的香味，让人闻了食欲就会活生生的被调起来。不过，在重大的节日，茶果可就不能再这么相貌平庸的上台了。人们多数会将他们从锅里烧好，拿出来盛在印有梅花印等之类的白瓷盘里，然后再在他们的周边点缀一些刚从树上摘下来的新鲜果子，切成小块小块的，再放到指定的梅花印盘子里。这样一来，这茶果不仅色味双美，还微微透着别具一格的风情。

孩子们准备回家过年，第一件大事儿就是帮人家捣面团儿。那白溜溜的面团儿家搅在手里，总是怪好玩儿的。而激昂面团揉好之后，便将面团儿交给长辈们，让他们做东西给自己吃。第二件大事便是买些小玩意儿，然后大大小小的聚在一起，展现自己手中的能力。恐怕第三件是才是保护自己的新衣服，以免他们新年还没过便糟蹋的不成样了。

等到出席来了，便到处都是酒肉的香味。男女老少穿起新衣，门贴红对联，在大街小巷贺新年，也是必不可少的事情。除夕夜鞭炮声连绵不断，不管是谁都精神抖擞的。

当然，春节那日来时，就截然不同了大伙儿聚子一个大堂里，聊天、喝酒、看表演、耍戏子样样都有。原本分在四处的桌子此时也拼成几个大桌子，每个桌上都有自家做的茶果和新鲜玩意儿，以及自家儿女在外地带回来的小食，特别热闹。晚上，大伙便在自家亭院白起桌子，赏景聊天；小孩子们则在则在一旁地安置等、财迷，玩躲猫猫。这的确是美好快乐的日子。

一眨眼，到了尾声，老家的春节在正月十九结束了。学生做作业，大人么照常做事。一切又恢复平常，可喜气却还荡漾在空中挥之不去。

[写家乡的春节习俗作文

春节是我国一个古老的节日，也是一年中最重要的一个节日。在中国千百年的历史发展中，还有一些较为固定的习俗习惯相传至今。比如，扫尘、贴春联、贴窗花、倒贴“福”字、画年画和守岁等等。

“腊月二十四，掸尘扫房子”，在古书《吕氏春秋》中记载，我国在尧舜时代就有春节扫尘的习俗习惯了，此外，扫尘还有“除陈布新”的含义。

春联也叫对联、桃符，它以对偶、精巧的文字抒发美好的愿望，是咱们中国独特的文学形式。春节贴春联这一习俗起源于宋代，春联分为上联、下联和横批。

“福”字，指的是福气、福运，春节贴“福”字是为了表达对亲朋好友的一种祝福。可是为了更充分地体现这种祝福，人们干脆把“福”字倒过来贴，表示“福‘倒’了”。

现在春节挂贴年画在城乡已很是普遍，浓黑重彩的年画给家家户户带去了兴旺和欢乐的喜庆场面。我国收藏最早的年画是南宋《隋朝窈窕呈倾国之芳容》的木刻年画，画的是王昭君、赵飞燕、班姬和绿珠四位古代美人。

在此我再送大家一副对联：“焰火耀长空，色彩斑斓欢度除夕度，金龙腾大地，人声鼎沸喜迎吉祥年”！

农历正月初一是新春佳节。新春佳节是中国农历岁首，也是中国民间最热闹的古老传统节日。中国民间过新春佳节的习惯大概是从原始社会的时代‘腊祭’演变而来的。 The first day of the first lunar month is the New Year.The Spring Festival is the first year of the Chinese lunar calendar and the most lively ancient traditional festival in the Chinese folk.The habit of the Chinese folk New Years New Year is probably evolved from the era of the primitive society.

导语：端午节那天人们都会举行划龙舟活动，你对这项活动有什么了解的呢?下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的有关端午节的作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival, held all over the country. As the gun is fired, people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their destination.

Folk tales say the game originates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuans body, but experts, after painstaking and meticulous research, conclude that dragon boat racing is a semi-religious, semi-entertaining program from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). In the following thousands of years, the game spread to Japan, Vietnam and Britain as well as Chinas Taiwan and Hong Kong. Now dragon boat racing has developed into an aquatic sports item which features both Chinese tradition and modern sporting spirit. In 1980, it was listed into the state sports competition programs and has since been held every year. The award is called "Qu Yuan Cup."

【参考译文】

划龙舟是端午节不可缺少的一部分，在全国各地举行。当枪被发射时，人们会看到在龙形独木舟中的运动员们在快速的鼓声中快速和谐地拉着桨，向着目的地飞驰而去。

民间故事说游戏来源于寻找屈原的尸体，但专家的活动，经过艰苦细致的研究，得出这样的结论：赛龙舟是一种半宗教半娱乐性的节目从战国时期(公元前475-221)。在以后的几千年里，游戏传播到日本、越南、英国以及中国的台湾和香港。龙舟运动已发展成为具有中国传统和现代体育精神的水上运动项目。1980，它被列入国家体育竞赛项目，此后每年举行。该奖项被称为“屈原杯。”

The New Year, new weather. Out of their homes, families are decorated; Street, beaming everywhere, laughter. The breath of spring flowers reflected the joy of thepeople in the face.

New Years eve firecrackers rang a hanging outside and another hung, thunderbolt barak ring; Inside the home, everyone was laughing, lively!

《贴门神》

我国各地过年都有贴门神的风俗。最初的门神是刻桃木为人形，挂在人的旁边，后来是画成门神人像张贴于门。传说中的神荼、郁垒兄弟二人专门管鬼，有他们守住门户，大小恶鬼不敢入门为害。

然而，真正史书记载的门神，而不是神茶、郁垄，而是古代的一个勇士叫做成庆的。在班固的《汉书·广川王传》中记载：广川王(去疾)的殿门上曾画有古勇士成庆的画像，短衣大裤长剑。到了唐代，门神的位置便被秦叔宝和尉迟敬德所取代。

《西游记》中叙述就更加详细，“泾河龙王为了和一个算卜先生打赌，结果犯厂天条，罪该问斩。玉帝任命魏征为监斩官。泾河龙王为求活命，向唐太宗求情。太宗答应了，到了斩龙的那个时辰，便宣召魏征与之对奕。没想到魏征下着下着，打了一个盹儿，就魂灵升天，将龙王斩了。龙王抱怨太宗言而无信，日夜在宫外呼号讨命。太宗告知群臣，大将秦叔宝贵道：愿同尉迟敬德戎装立门外以待。太宗应允。那一夜果然无事。太宗因不忍二将辛苦，遂命巧手丹青，画二将真容，贴于门上。”

还有画关羽、张飞像为门神的。门神像左右户各一张，后代常把一对门神画成一文一武。门神分三类：第一类是“大门门神”，多贴在车门或整间大门上，高约四五尺，宽约二三尺。第二类是“街门门神”，多贴小街门上，高约二尺，宽约一尺。这两种门神都是一黑脸一白脸两位尊神。白左黑右，白善易，黑狞恶，各手执槊钺。第三类是“屋门门神”，较街门门神稍小有限，也是黑白二神，但也有黑白二神是坐像的。屋门最多是贴“麒麟送子”像，两个傅粉涂脂梳太子冠的娃娃，各乘麒麟。这种门神，本应贴在新结婚的屋门上，以取吉利，后来也就作普通街门的新年点缀品了。

Poland

波兰

For Poles, Christmas Eve is a night of magic when animals are said to talk and people have the power to predict the future. It’s a time for families to gather and reconcile any differences, and to remember loved ones who have gone before them.

对于波兰人来说，平安夜是充满魔力的一夜。据说动物在这一夜可以与人说话，而人有预测未来的能力。家人们会在平安夜团聚一堂，调和矛盾，并怀念过世的亲人。

Wigilia (vee-GEEL-yah), which literally means "vigil," or waiting for the birth of Baby Jesus, is considered more important than Christmas Day itself.

对波兰人来说，“守夜”或“等待婴孩耶稣的诞生”（Wigilia）比圣诞节那一天更重要。

Wigilia is a meatless meal because, years ago, Roman Catholics fasted for the four weeks of Advent, including Christmas Eve. In the past there were thirteen main dishes

(representing the Apostles and Christ), but, these days, many families have replaced this tradition with a twelve-fruit compote for dessert.

1

“守夜”晚餐是素食，因为多年前，罗马天主教徒在降临节四周一直到平安夜都斋戒。过去晚餐有13道主菜（代表耶稣和他的使徒）。但是如今许多家庭转而选择12样水果的果盘甜点。

The foods are to represent the four corners of the earth -- mushrooms from the forest, grain from the fields, fruit from the orchards, and fish from the lakes and sea.

食物代表地球的天涯海角——蘑菇来自于森林，谷物来自于田地，水果来自于果园，而鱼来自于湖海。

Meals vary from family to family but usually include a special soup followed by many elegant fish preparations, vegetables, and pierogi.

每家的饭菜都不同，但通常都包括一种特制的汤，还有许多精致的鱼肉餐、蔬菜和半圆形小酥饼。

Czech Republic

捷克共和国

The Czech version of Saint Nick is known as Svaty Mikulas, who is said to climb down to Earth from the heavens using a golden rope. Mikulas is accompanied by an angel and a 2

devil who help him decide which girls and boys deserve treats and toys, and which ones deserve a swatch.

捷克人称圣诞老人为“米库拉斯”（Svaty Mikulas）。据说他用一根金绳从天堂爬到了大地。陪在他身边的是一位天使和一位恶魔。他们俩决定哪些男孩女孩值得得到美食和玩具而哪些孩子该被鞭打一顿。

There are a lot of fortune-telling traditions that are associated with Christmas as well. One involves a family member cutting a branch from a cherry tree and putting it inside in water. If it blooms in time for Christmas it is good luck. It also may represent that the winter will be short, or if a single woman picked the branch, it could mean she will get married in the next year.

圣诞节也有一些算命的习俗。其中有一个是家庭成员从樱桃树上砍下一根树枝并把它放入水中。如果它在圣诞节开了花，就表示好运。它也代表冬季会很短。倘若一位单身女子捡到了这根树枝，这表示她在明年将会结婚。

On Christmas Eve, single woman also try to see if they will get married in the next year by standing outside with their back to their front door, removing one of their shoes and

throwing it over their shoulder. If the shoe lands with the toe facing the door, then she will marry in the next year. If not, she will have to wait at least another 12 months.

在平安夜，单身女子还会通过“扔鞋子”来测试自己明年是否会结婚。她们在屋外背对前门站着，脱下一只鞋，把它从肩上向后扔。如果鞋子落地时鞋头朝门，这就表示她们明年将会结婚。如果鞋子鞋尾朝门，她们就得再等个一年了。

Austria

奥地利

Austrian children still get to celebrate the arrival of Ol’ Saint Nick, but they also have to brace themselves for the arrival of his evil counterpart, Krampus. Where Saint Nicholas 3

rewards good behavior with treats and toys on December 6, the demonic Krampus arrives on December 5, looking to punish all the bad children. His weapons of choice are birch switches to beat children with and burlap sacks to kidnap them and throw them into the river. The worst part is that local men actually dress up like Krampus (just like many men dress up as Santa in America) and terrorize the streets. In some villages, kids are even made to run what is known as a Krampus-gauntlet, in an attempt to outrun the switches. 地利的孩子们庆祝圣诞老人的到来，但同时他们也得迎来邪恶的克拉普斯（Krampus）。圣诞老人在12月6号给表现好的孩子送美食、发玩具。而恶魔般的克拉普斯5号就到了，意在惩罚所有的坏孩子。他把桦树枝做的鞭子当武器，还用粗麻袋绑架他们，把他们扔到河里。最糟糕的是，当地的男士会打扮的像克拉普斯（就像许多美国人打扮的像圣诞老人一样），在街上吓唬小孩子。在很多村庄里，很多小孩子甚至必须接受“克拉普斯大挑战”，他们努力比克拉普斯的鞭子跑得更快。

France

法国

Children of East France have an evil visitor to keep them behaving all year long. Le Pere Fouettard, which translates into “The Whipping Father,” accompanies Saint Nicolas in on December 6. While St. Nick gives good children presents, Le Pere Fouettard gives coal and whippings to the naughty children.

法国东部的孩子们有个邪恶的造访者，他叫“鞭子老爹”（Le Pere Fouettard），确保孩子们一整年都表现乖巧。圣诞老人12月6号给孩子分发礼物时，他也陪伴左右。“鞭子老爹”会给淘气的孩子煤块和一顿鞭子。

4

One of the most popular origin stories of the character say that he was a greedy inn

keeper who killed three rich boys on their way to boarding school. In many versions of the story, he even eats the children. Whether or not he cannibalizes the boys, the story ends when Saint Nick finds out and resurrects the children and forces Le Pere Fouettard to act as his servant throughout time.

关于“鞭子老爹”这个人物的起源，最流行的一个版本是说，他是一个贪婪的旅馆老板，在三个富男孩上学路上把他们杀了。很多其他版本甚至流传他吃小孩。故事的结局是圣诞老人找到并救出了孩子们，还迫使“鞭子老爹”永世做他的仆人。

Aside from The Whipping Father, another popular French tradition involves making a cake that looks like a traditional Yule log, known as buche de Noel. Christmas trees never really caught on in the country and while most people don’t have any use for an actual Yule log, the cake is a fun and festive substitute. Some of the buche de Nol can get fairly elaborate and even involve meringue mushrooms and edible flower decorations.

除了“鞭子老爹”的故事，法国圣诞还有一个传统是做“圣诞柴蛋糕”。其实圣诞树从未风靡全法国。虽然圣诞柴对法国人来说没什么实际用途，但这个蛋糕代表了人们的愉快和节日的喜庆。有些“圣诞柴蛋糕”做得相当精致，甚至有蛋白酥皮小蘑菇和能吃的花朵装饰品。

Germany

德国

Belsnickel is the German Santa’s dark enforcer, but he’s not nearly as evil as Krumpus or The Whipping Father. Instead he just wears fur from head to toe and gives good girls and boys candy and bad children coal and switches.

贝尔森克（Belsnickel）是德国圣诞老人的惩罚执行者，但他没克拉普斯或鞭子老爹那么邪恶。他从头到脚穿着毛皮，给好孩子们发糖果，给坏孩子们煤块和一顿鞭子。

Dear Mike,

How are you? Im really glad that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. There are many traditional festivals in China, such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Day and so on. Id like to introduce the Spring Festival to you. Spring Festival is the most important traditional holiday in China. It usually lasts for 15 days。

Days before the festival, people clean their houses. They think cleaning sweeps any bad luck. They decorate their houses with paper cuts. On the eve of the festival, family members get together and have big meals. Then they watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. At midnight, they set off fireworks to welcome the New Year. During the festival, kids get lucky money from old people. People visit their relatives and friends. They wish each a happy year and good luck. How happy we are。

Best wishes!

过年啦！每个地方都有不同的习俗，并且都各具特色。今年我有幸回趟家乡重庆过年，就让我给大家介绍一下土家族的春节习俗吧。

除夕的中午，我见姥姥煮了好多饭，就好奇的上前去询问：为什么要煮这么多饭，我们一顿也吃不了呀？姥姥回答道：“今天要多煮一些，大年初一可不能再煮新鲜饭。因为土家族人很少吃鱼，所以就要多煮饭，这也叫‘年年有余’吧。”

除夕的下午，爷爷和爸爸一起贴对联，我也过去凑热闹。东看看，西瞧瞧。这时爸爸问我：“你知道我们为什么要贴对联吗？”我回答：“知道一点点，喜庆呗。”“也对吧，对联是为了表达人们祈求新年福运的美好心愿。现在我们贴好了对联，就不能往外扔东西了，连垃圾也不能扔，一直要到大年初二才可以扔东西。这样就表示把财圈在家里了。”爸爸接着说。

除夕的傍晚，由家里的最长者带领全家去“拜山祭祖”。在先辈的坟前点上红烛和香，摆上祭品，以表对先辈的怀念。这也是对他们的尊敬。

这些就是我了解的土家人的春节习俗，你觉得有趣吧。
