今天，我通过网络了解到......

每年12月25日是全世界大多数基督徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子。

教会开始并无圣诞节，约在耶稣升天后百余年内才有。据说：第一个圣诞节是在公元138年，由罗马主教圣克里门倡议举行。而教会史载第一个圣诞节则在公元336年。由于圣经未明记耶稣生于何时，故各地圣诞节日期各异。直到公元440年，才由罗马教廷定12月25日为圣诞节。公元1607年，世界各地教会领袖在伯利恒聚会，进一步予以确定，从此世界大多数的基督徒均以12月25日为圣诞节。其实哪一天并不要紧，重要的是应该知道它是为纪念救主耶稣降生。

由于圣经记载耶稣生于夜间，故传统称12月24日夜为"圣诞夜"或"平安夜"。

在圣诞节人们会准备圣诞树，给朋友和心爱的人准备圣诞节礼物并在圣诞夜放在他们的帽子里面，还会和朋友们一起唱圣诞歌，制作圣诞卡片，和家人朋友在圣诞树下一起吃圣诞大餐等。总之，圣诞节是个象征着美好的日子!

圣诞节是西方国家最重要的节日。它是在12月25日。当我和妈妈住在美国，我们邀请了我母亲的一个朋友，去一个美国家庭过圣诞节。我们买了他们家的路上，我们为美国的一些朋友的礼物。

他们准备为他们的家人和客人时，我们到他们家，如圣诞蜡烛，蛋糕，卡片，小玩具和饼干等，各种各样的礼物。圣诞树放置在大厅角落的辉煌。它多么美丽!这些我们留下了深刻印象。我们吃了一顿大餐。晚饭后，他们给我们讲一些有趣的圣诞故事。我们了解到，圣诞节已是与上帝。我们半夜才上床睡觉。尽管我们知道圣诞老人不是真的，我们还是等待着白胡子给我们带来presents.And我们收到了许多漂亮的第二天早晨的圣诞老人。

这个圣诞节实在太令人难忘。我不仅有很好的时间，但我也了解了外国文化的东西。...

"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas"Have you heard that song? Yup! Its Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.

Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. Thats why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.

Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynskis house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.

As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a partys on!

Whats more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windowseverywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santas hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.

Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of things they wish "Santa"to give them for Christmas) for a long time. I didnt want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis were so kind to "force"me make one list as well (Mr. Stapczynski told me if I didnt make one he would chop off my legs). So I wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.

Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very interesting experience for me. The priest started the service reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.

Sometimes, the church choir would start singing. The atmosphere was very quiet and holy. Then there was a ceremony called "The Receiving Communion". People waited in line to "receive"a spoonful of food from the priest. It was a very special Christmas tradition. The food was made from bread and wine. The bread represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. After this ceremony, the priest had a speech. He reminded us not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, and let Jesus really live inside us--that is, to love the people around us wholeheartedly. I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this principle should be part of our lives. After the priest finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came: Christmas carols5. Christmas carols are songs that people sing at Christmas, such as "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night"and so on. Some were very merry, others sounded quite holy, but all of them were beautiful. I closed my eyes, and let all the peacefulness and happiness that were in the songs flow through me. What a feeling it was!

We went to sleep earlier that day for we had to get up early on Christmas Day to open our presents. Sure enough, when I was still half-way during a sweet dream, Stephen burst into my room and told me to get up and open presents. There were a huge pile of presents under the Christmas tree, and there was such a mysterious mist shrouding them that made me eager to see what they all were. So one by one, we went through all the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Stapczynski had bought me everything I had written on my Christmas list--and a lot more! I got music CDs, film DVDs, clothes, books I was very happy, and I didnt know how to express my appreciation for what they had done for me.

Stephen and Niko had gotten a lot of presents too, and they had already been trying out their new games!

In the afternoon, we went to Mrs. Stapczynskis brother, Uncle Stans house. They had prepared a marvelous meal for us. A lot of their friends and relatives also came. I saw Stephen and Nikos grandparents, Yiayia and Papou (words of grandma and grandpa in Greek--Mrs. Stapczynskis parents came from Greece, so they like the boys using Greek words to call them). They were very kind to me, and treated me just like one of their family members. We had a very luxurious meal, consisting of turkey, beef, pork, and all sorts of other food.

After the meal, when all the stomachs were full and everyone was feeling drowsy6 from all the food, we just sat around the table and chatted, just like what we Chinese people do at the Spring Festival. After all, Christmas, like the Spring Festival, is a time for us to get away from our busy lives, a time for family gathering, and a time to have some fun.

今天是美好的圣诞节平安夜。一放学，我就和同学一起蹦蹦跳跳地回家去。

一到家，爸爸就告诉我，今天和叔叔阿姨去外面的饭店吃饭，我听了,高兴得更加起劲的蹦了。不过妈妈还没回来，所以得等妈妈回家了一起去。

过了一会，妈妈回到家了,我就催着爸爸拉着妈妈出门去了。一路上,我看到今晚行人的脸上都洋溢着笑脸,给人一种详和,温馨的感觉.走到国际大厦的门口就感觉到一股暖流,玻璃门外寒风刺骨,推门进入温暖如春。大厦里的圣诞老人不停地向我们招手.圣诞树那翠绿的树枝上面挂满了千盏完盏五彩缤纷的彩灯.一闪一闪眨着闪亮的眼睛。

一进大厦,我就直奔2楼,西餐厅里回旋着一首圣诞歌,歌声悠扬,让心情舒畅.墙上挂者一张和蔼可亲的圣诞老人的照片。叔叔阿姨已经先到了，我和爸爸妈妈走过去，和他们打招呼，然后坐下来，大家好象是一个大家庭。

没过多长时间,那些美味可口的菜就来了。一见那香喷喷的鸭肉,我再也控制不住自己,狼吞虎咽地吃起来，等我吃完以后,贪玩的我和许多小朋友在国际大厦跑来跑去,跑上跑下,一会儿去看那和蔼可亲的圣诞老人,一会去看那些闪着五彩缤纷光芒的圣诞树，真是好玩极了。

我爱圣诞节!

因为美国是由许多民族组成的国家，所以美国人庆祝圣诞节的情形也最为复杂，从各国来的移民仍多依照他们祖国的风俗。不过，在圣诞节时期，美国人的门外挂着花环以及其它别致的布置则是一样的。

因为美国定居着许多不同国籍的人，所有地区之间的圣诞节的差别很大。在宾夕法尼亚州，摩拉维亚人在圣诞树下设立了一道风景称作PUTZ。相反在同一州的德国人从Belsnickle那里得到礼物。Belsnickle 经常对那些违反纪律的人轻轻敲打，以示惩罚。

在南方，相距甚远的人们在 圣诞节 的那天以鸣火枪互相道福。

在阿拉斯加州，人们举着一根带有星星的竿子窜门。后面跟着想要摘星星的人，被称作希律特。居住在殖民地的门口经常挂者一个菠萝，它象征象征当地居民的热情好客。

在波士顿，圣诞颂歌是十分有名的。歌手在表演时常配有手铃。

在奥尔良，那里圣诞节的风俗是将一头装饰得很神圣漂亮的牛游行。

在夏威夷，人们以圣诞船的到来作为圣诞节的开始，此时圣诞老人也会随船而至。

在加利福尼亚州，圣诞老人将作冲浪运动。

一个自由且多彩的国家，圣诞节是他们快乐狂欢的日子。美国的民族复杂，所以其庆祝方式常因移民的不同而有所差异。大部分室内都有别致的布置，门外悬挂着美艳的花环及绮丽的饰物。

梵谛冈：如果你想在世界最大的圣彼得教堂参加由教皇亲自主持的圣诞弥撒，虽然那里可容纳三万五千人但仍需预先定位。其圣诞弥撒大多在十二月二十五日零时举行，教皇坐在八个侍从抬着的轿子上穿过群众，一边向信徒们祝福一边走上祭坛。教皇着白袍外罩金黄色祭服，登上圣彼得大教堂的祭坛，以拉丁语念出祷告词。零时整，号角手吹响的喇叭，安放于大祭坛上的摇篮本被覆盖着。这时，圣婴耶稣身上的白布被徐徐除下了。教堂内的各国信徒眼眶里含着热泪，以各自的语言唱出悠扬的“平安夜”。世界各地的天主教徒均视前往圣彼得大教堂，亲谒教皇，受其祝福，为一生中最大的荣幸。

日本：虽然日本非基督教国家，但战后日本过圣诞节的风气十分风靡。原因之一与各大商家的促销有关。有的百货公司以圣诞树作装潢，在店内布置雪景，增加银色圣诞的气氛。各色茶店、夜总会、酒吧也都安置一株圣诞树以应景。十二月中旬各商店人山人海，大家为准备圣诞礼物赠送亲友而忙碌。善心人士亦趁机致赠礼品予东京室内五十二所肢体及心智障碍的儿童。

Santa Claus was born in US in the 1860s he was named this as he had a white beard and a belly,so he was named Santa Claus as this was the Dutch word for St Nicholas,Sintaklaas.Although the Dutch had bought him with them in the 17th century,he did not become an important person at Christmas until the Novelist Washington Irving put him in a novel that he wrote in 1809.This first Santa Claus was still known as St.Nicholas,he did smoke a pipe,and fly around in a wagon without any reindeer,but he did not have his red suit or live at the North Pole,he did however bring presents to children every year.

In 1863 He was given the name Santa Claus and bore the red suit,pipe,and his reindeer and sleigh.

Now Christmas celebrations vary greatly between regions of the United States,because of the variety of nationalities which have settled in it.

In Pennsylvania,the Moravians build a landscape,called a putz - under the Christmas tree,while in the same state the Germans are given gifts by Belsnickle,who taps them with his switch if they have misbehaved.

Early European settlers brought many traditions to the United States.Many settled in the early days in the South,these settlers would send Christmas greetings to their distant neighbors by shooting firearms and letting off fireworks.In Hawaii this practice is still in use as under the sunny skies,Santa Claus arrives by boat and Christmas dinner is eaten outdoors.

In Alaska,a star on a pole is taken from door to door,followed by Herods Men,who try to capture the star.Colonial doorways are often decorated with pineapple,a symbol of hospitality.

In Alaska,boys and girls with lanterns on poles carry a large figure of a star from door to door.They sing carols and are invited in for supper.

the name christmas is short for "christs mass". a mass is a kind of church service. christmas is a religious festival. it is the day we cele

ate as the birthday of jesus. there are special christmas services in christian churches all over the world. but many of the festivities of christmas do not have anything to do with religion. exchanging gifts and sending christmas cards are the modern ways of celeating the christmas in the world.

the birth of jesus had a story: in nazareth, a city of galilee. the virgins name was mary was betrothed to joseph. before they came together, she was found with child of the holy spirit. joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly. while he thought about these things, gaiel, an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take mary as wife. and mary willing forth a son, and he shall call his name, jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

before jesus births, joseph and mary came to quirnius was governing syria. so all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. joseph also went up out of galilee, out of the city of nazareth, into judea, to the city of david, which is called bethlehem, because he was of the house and of the lineage of david, to be registered with mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. so it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to bedelivered. and sheought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

12月25日一大清早，我们就向妈妈“讨”圣诞礼物：“妈妈，我想要一只小狗！”“妈妈，我要一只小猫养养！”可妈妈就是摇头不答应：“狗狗太脏了，养猫咪，房间里就“充满”了脚印！”你说，没有小狗、小猫做伴，还有什么乐趣呢？连棵圣诞树都不买，过圣诞节还有什么意义呢？

“哇！这只小狗可爱极了！真知不知道中国有没有这种小狗！”姐姐想着她幻想中的小狗狗。“要是圣诞老人送我们一只小狗就好了，也不会浪费爸爸妈妈的钱。可是，真不知道圣诞老人会送点什么给我们。”

“其实，小猫咪也是很可爱的呀！”我插嘴了，“像屠千寻她们家的贝猫，一定很乖巧！”

今天，我们感受到了一次不快乐的圣诞节的滋味。

圣诞节英语作文：

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.

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Christmas is the most important festival in the western world. It falls on December 25th. When my mother and I stayed in America, we were invited by one of my mothers friends to have Christmas with an American family. We bought some presents for our American friends on our way to their house.

They had prepared different kinds of gifts for their family and guests when we got to their house, such as Christmas candles, cakes, cards, little toys, biscuits and so on. A Christmas tree was placed in the comer of the brilliant hall. How beautiful it was! We were impressed by these. We had a big meal. After dinner, they told us some interesting stories about Christmas. We learned that Christmas had something to do with God. We went to bed at midnight. Though we knew the Santa Claus was not true, we were still waiting for the Santa Claus with white beard to bring us presents.And we received many beautiful presents the next morning.

This Christmas was really unforgettable. Not only did I have a good time, but also I knew something about foreign culture.

12月25日的圣诞节是西方国家最重要的节日。我和妈妈在美国的时候，曾应妈妈的一位朋友邀请，去一个美国家庭过圣诞节。在去他家的途中，我们为美国朋友买了一些礼物。

我们到时，他们已为家人及客人们准备了各种各样的礼物，有圣诞蜡烛、蛋糕、卡片、小玩具和饼干等。圣诞树放在灯火通明的客厅的一角，实在是太荚了。这一切给我们留下了深刻的印象。我们吃了一顿大餐。饭后，他们给我们讲了一些圣诞节的故事，我们知道了圣诞节与上帝有关。我们午夜时分才上床睡觉。尽管我们知道圣诞老人不是真的，但还是等待着白胡子的圣诞老人为我们送来礼物。第二天早晨我们收到了许多漂亮的礼物。

这个圣诞节实在太令人难以忘怀了。我不仅过得很愉快，还了解了外国文化。

到美国以前看过很多讲中国留学生在美国生活的书，其中印象最深刻，也是一般人心目中最典型的一个场景是，一个中国女孩在圣诞夜站在无人的街头，一面流泪，一面握着话筒给大洋彼岸的亲人打电话。我本来以为这也会发生在我的身上的，因为我的两个roommate都要到别的城市看望她们的亲戚，大大的apartment只留下我一个人。结果在平安夜那天中午，我的友好家庭开车过来接我到他们家里过节。

于是，我的平安夜就在我的友好家庭家里度过了，这真正是我第一个在国外的圣诞节，也是到美国以后第一次在老外家里住，真正是从头到尾看了老美怎么过圣诞节的。感觉呢，嗯，好玩是非常好玩，有几个年龄相仿的美国年轻人一起玩游戏，看录象(哎呀呀，他们家的basement有一个“家庭影院”，效果比起当年我在华工的时候在计算机上看道班碟子是没有办法比的啦)。唯一觉得受不了的是他们的圣诞食品。平安夜的晚餐除了一碗非常非常鲜的海鲜汤以外就只有烤面包。我正奇怪，我都吃不饱，他们家那个牛高马大的儿子是怎么吃出来的?紧接着就是圣诞的service，一家人来来回回唱了几首圣诞赞美诗(我当时感觉好饿，忍不住就四下张望!)，然后好不容易结束了，就是全家每人念一段圣经，也是好长好长，我都不知道走神走到哪里去了。

好不容易结束了，我心想这下总该开桌了吧?结果是一桌子的cookie和shrimp，shrimp还不错，这个得承认。撤了cookie以后，还是dissert，那么甜，又不能吃多，吃的时候我都可以预料到，晚上我肯定会饿肚子的。本来今天还有turkeymeal的，我昨天晚上实在忍无可忍，就非闹着要人家开车送我回家住，理由是不习惯住在别人家里，实际上是赶紧回家吃点中国菜。

正像中国人过春节吃年饭一样，欧美人过圣诞节也很注重全家人围坐在圣诞树下，共进节日美餐。

圣诞大餐吃火鸡的习俗始于1620年。这种风俗盛于美国。英国人的圣诞大餐是烤鹅，而非火鸡。奥大利人爱在平安夜里，全家老小约上亲友成群结队地到餐馆去吃一顿圣诞大餐，其中，火鸡、腊鸡、烧牛仔肉和猪腿必不可少，同时伴以名酒，吃得大家欢天喜地。

正像中国人过春节吃年饭一样，欧美人过圣诞节也很注重全家人围坐在圣诞树下，共进节日美餐。?

法国中部的色日尔斯地方，每年圣诞节前后几天必降大雪，白雪皑皑，令人清新。在西方人眼里，白色圣诞是一种吉祥。在法国，马槽是最富有特色的圣诞标志，因为相传耶稣是诞生在马槽旁的。人们大唱颂赞耶稣的圣诞歌之后，必须开怀畅饮，香槟和白兰地是法国传统的圣诞美酒。芬兰在12月圣诞节前后，漫山遍野都是怒放的紫罗兰，掩映在白色的大地上，望去一片紫红色，紫色圣诞使人心旷神怡。

英国人和德国人一样，圣诞节喝啤酒，吃烤鹅，他们更喜欢利用圣诞节假日外出旅游。美国人过圣诞节着重家庭布置，安置圣诞树，在袜子中塞满礼物，吃以火鸡为主的圣诞大菜，举行家庭舞会。瑞士人在圣诞节前4个星期，就将4支巨型的蜡烛点燃，放在由树枝装饰成的一个环里，每周点1支，当点燃第4支后，圣诞节就到了。丹麦人对不合意的圣诞礼物，可去商店兑换价格相似的其它商品。

澳大利亚是南半球的国家之一。十二月底，正当西欧各国在寒风呼啸中欢度圣诞节时，澳大利亚正是热不可耐的仲夏时节。因此在澳大利亚过圣诞节，到处可以看见光着上身汗水涔涔的小伙子和穿超短群的姑娘，与商店橱窗里精心布置的冬日雪景、挂满雪花的圣诞树和穿红棉袄的圣诞老人，构成澳大利亚特有的节日图景。这种酷暑和严冬景象的强烈对比，恐怕在西方国家是独一无二的。父母给子女最好的圣诞礼物，莫过于一副小水划。圣诞节弄潮是澳大利亚的一大特征。节日晚上，带着饮料到森林里举行“巴别居”野餐。人们用石头垒的露天灶中用枯树枝生火、上面架一块铁板，把香肠、牛肉、鲜鱼等放上去煎。吃饱喝足后，就跳起“迪斯科”或“袋鼠舞”，一直闹到深夜才结束。喝醉了的，便往草地上一躺，在如雷的鼾声中迎接圣诞老人的莅临。

在波兰每年十二月二十五日、二十六日举行，家家户户都要装饰圣诞树，大街小巷都有圣诞树上的装饰品出卖。节日里亲友之间相互祝贺，互赠礼品，表示友好。晚间吃饭时桌布下边要放一些草，以示耶稣的降生。晚饭很丰富，但不能吃肉。夜间十二时后，全家去教堂礼拜。圣诞节期间，一般不到别人家中做客，但主人盛情邀请者例外。?

据保加利亚的历法，圣诞节是灵魂出没、妖邪猖狂的日子。因此，人们要借助火来驱妖镇邪。圣诞节前夜，家家都燃起火堆，一直燃到天亮，不得熄灭，否则会招来横祸。由男人取圣诞木点火进屋并高声念到“圣诞节降临，牛、羊、猪、马长满圈，麦苗出满垅，人人走好运。”在屋里等候的人则齐声回答：“阿门!”
