关于庆祝圣诞节的英语作文【实用20篇】

the original santa claus, st. nicholas, was born in the ancient southeastern turkish town of lycia early in the fourth century. his generosity was legend, and he was particularly fond of children. we know this primarily through roman accounts of his patronage of youth, which eventually led to his becoming the patron saint of children. throughout the middle ages, and well beyond, he was referred to by many names none of them santa claus.

children today would not at all recognize the st. nick who brought gifts to european children hundreds of years ago except perhaps for his cascading white beard. he made his rounds in full red-and-white bishops robes, complete with twin peaked miter and crooked crozier. he was pulled by no fleet footed reindeer, but coaxed in indolent donkey. and he arrived not late on christmas eve, but on his christian feast day, december 6. the gifts he left beside the hearth were usually small: fruit, nuts, hard candies, wood and clay figurines.

during the protestant reformation of the sixteenth century, st. nicholas was banished from most european countries. replacing him were more secular figures, who in general were not at center stage at that point in history..the dutch kept the st. nicholas tradition alive. as the "protector of sailors," st. nicholas graced the prow of the first dutch ship that arrived in america. and the first church built in new york city was named after him. the dutch brought with them to the new world two christmas items that were quickly americanized.

in sixteenth century holland, children placed wooden shoes by the hearth the night of st. nicholass arrival. the shoes were filled with straw, a meal for the saints gift laden donkey. in return, nicholas would insert a small treat into each clog. in america, the shoe was replaced with the stocking, hung by the chimney.

the dutch spelled st. nicholas "saint nikolass," which in the new world became "sinterklass". later changed to "santa claus".

much of modern day santa claus lore, including the reindeer drawn sleigh, originated in america. dr. clement clarke moore composed "the night before christmas" in 1822, to read to his children on christmas eve. the poem might have remained privately in the moore family if a friend had not mailed a copy of it (without authorial attribution) to a newspaper and became part of the santa legend.

it was in america that santa put on weight. the rosy-cheeked, roly-poly santa is credited to the influential nineteenth-century cartoonist thomas nast. from 1863 until 1886, nast created a series of christmas drawings for harpers weekly. these drawings, executed over twenty years, exhibit a gradual evolution in santa from the pudgy, diminutive, elf-like creature of dr. moores immortal poem to the bearded, potbellied, life-size bell ringer familiar on street corners across america today. nasts cartoons also showed the world how santa spent his entire year constructing toys, checking on childrens behavior, reading their requests for special gifts. his images were incorporated into the santa lore.

santa is known throughout the world in many different names, such as:

saint nikolaas (sinter klaas), from the dutch father christmas, from the english kris kringle, from the germans befana, from the italians bobouschka, from the russians (a grand motherly figure instead of a male)

Christmas， annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25， and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well. Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6， when they celebrate Epiphany， a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus. Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem (near Jerusalem， Israel)， where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold， frankincense， and myrrh. The official Christmas season， popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas， extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6.

Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew (see Matthew 1：18-2：12) and the Gospel according to Luke (see Luke 1：26-56). Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas， then known as the Feast of the Nativity， as early as 336 ad. The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse， meaning “festival of Christ.” Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century. The X stands for the Greek letter chi， an abbreviation of Khristos (Christ)， and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified.

The origin of the Christmas

Christmas Day-December 25-which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the founder of the Christian religion, is the biggest and best-loved holiday in the Christian World.

According to the Bible, the holy book of Christians, God decided to allow his only son, Jesus Christ, to be born to a human mother and live on earth so that people could understand God better and learn to love God and each other more. "Christmas"- meaning "celebration of Christ "- honors the time when Jesus was born to a young Jewish woman Mary.

Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph, a carpenter, but before they came together, she was found to be with child. Because Joseph, her husband, was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."

Although the exact date of the birth of Jesus nearly 2,000 years ago is not known, the calendar on the supposed date divides all time into B.C. (Before Christ )and A.D. ( a Latin phrase, Anno Domini, "in the year of our Lord.") For the first 300 years, Jesus birthday was celebrated on different dates. Finally, in the year 354, church leaders chose December 25 as his birthday.

译文：圣诞节的由来

十二月二十五日圣诞节庆祝耶稣基督的诞生,基督教的创始人,基督教世界最大和最受人喜爱的节日。

根据圣经,圣经的基督徒,上帝决定让他唯一的儿子,耶稣基督,出生,母亲是人类,生活在地球上,这样人们能更好地了解上帝,学习热爱上帝和彼此更多。“圣诞节”——意思是“庆祝基督”——纪念耶稣诞生的时候,一个年轻的犹太妇女玛丽。

玛丽约瑟夫订婚,一个木匠,但他们同居之前,约瑟夫发现了她和孩子。约瑟夫,因为她的丈夫是一个正派的人,又不想把这件事说出去让她丢脸,所以他想悄悄地和她分手。

但他认为这后,耶和华的使者在梦中向他显现,说,“不要害怕把玛丽带回家作为你的妻子,因为她怀孕是圣灵。她将生下一个儿子,你要给他起名叫耶稣,因为他将从罪恶中拯救他的人。”

虽然耶稣诞生的确切日期将近2000年前不知道,应该上的日历日期时间分为公元前公元(公元前)和(拉丁短语,老年,“我们的主。”)300年第一,庆祝耶稣的生日是在不同的日期。最后,在354年,教会领袖选择12月25日定为耶稣基督的生日。

Oh! After original each festival has a history, we must study hard, get to know the history of the festival.

今天放假了，是因为明天就是元旦。元旦的来历是什么呢?下午我在网上查了一下，由我来告诉大家吧：

元有始之意，旦指天明的时间，也通指白天。元旦，便是一年开始的第一天。

元旦在古时候称为元日，据说“元旦”最初的称呼起自三皇五帝之一的颛顼，颛顼以正月为元，初一为旦，而后来的夏、商、周、秦、汉各个朝代对元旦的规定各不相同。夏代以正月初一为元旦，商代以十二月初一为元旦，周代以十一月初一为元旦。

元旦一词，最早出自南朝人萧子云 《介雅》诗：四气新元旦，万寿初今朝。宋代吴自牧 《梦梁录》卷一正月条目：正月朔日，谓之元旦，俗呼为新年。一岁节序，此为之首。汉代崔瑗《三子钗铭》中叫元正。晋代庾阐《扬都赋》中称作元辰。北齐时的一篇《元会大享歌皇夏辞》中呼为元春。唐德宗李适《元日退朝观军仗归营》诗中谓之元朔。历来元旦指的是夏历(农历、阴历)正月初一。在汉语各地方言中有不同叫法，有叫大年初一的，有叫大天初一的，有叫年初一的，一般又叫正月初一。我国历代元旦的月日并不一致。夏代在正月初一，商代在十二月初一，周代在十一月初一。

哦!原来每个节日都有来历，以后我们一定要好好学习，多了解节日的来历。

每年的12月25日都是一年一度的圣诞佳节，今年也不例外，怎样过才是最有意义的，才是最令我终生难忘的呢。让我冥思苦想、绞尽脑汁。

西方国家的人们都喜欢过圣诞节，欢欢喜喜的节日气氛，一点不亚于中国人过大年，那么我就想到了圣诞的前夜是平安夜。哈哈，平安夜当然要送平安果的了。有了……于是，我让妈妈帮忙准备了好多的牛奶苹果，既甜又面还红的，我几乎每天都是在扳着指头计算着平安夜到来的日子，好不容易等到了今天，我太兴奋了，马上开始包装行动。我用手仔细的擦拭着其中一个自己认为最满意的苹果，它是那么晶莹剔透、那么讨人喜那种。提前几天就买回来了，都是精挑细选的，可见我的良苦用心了吧。

自此以后欢，真想凑上去啃它一大口，那滋味别提了，肯定是垂涎欲滴。然后用彩色的包装纸包好，再打上个漂亮的蝴蝶结。万事具备只欠东风，我太期待24日的到来了。

在平安夜这一天，能收到平安果，是每个人最最高兴的事情了，因为它包含着心意和祝福，老师一定会心花怒放的。接着，我又组织了祝福的话，“齐老师，送给你一个平安果，祝你平平安安、顺顺利利、健健康康、开开心心!”饱含着我诚挚地语气和真实地情感，再鞠上一躬，然后双手捧给老师，她一定会接受的。因为礼轻情重，那是她的学生的一片心意，她怎么好拒绝一个来自孩子的小小的礼物呢。

送人玫瑰手有余香，给老师送去祝福的同时，我也会收获属于自己的幸福和快乐。

今年的圣诞节，我过的非常的有意思，我不仅收到了圣诞老人送给我的礼物，而且还挣了11元钱。和大家一起分享一下吧。

12月24日是平安夜，放学后，我和班里的10个同学被我们的妈妈们带到通州西门人流较多的地方去卖平安果，妈妈们让我们这些孩子们体验生活，同时也过一个难忘的圣诞节。

到了地点，我们两人一组，分成五组，每组一个小篮子，里面装上6个平安果，我们的行动就开始了，家长们在一边看着。

我们看见有个阿姨走过，我们10个人就呼啦一下围过去就说：“阿姨，买个平安果吧，5元一个，祝您圣诞节快乐。”10个人吵作一团，都争着卖自己的，结果把阿姨吓跑了，谁的也没买，我们10个人就开始互相埋怨，又开始唧唧喳喳的吵个不停。我们的妈妈们看着我们争吵都一言不发，只是看着我们。争吵一会之后，我们感觉应该拉开距离，不能在一起，我拿了2个苹果自己去天桥卖了，我连问了几个人，有叔叔也有阿姨，他们都不买，我快急哭了，手里拿着苹果，眼里含着泪水，一回头，妈妈在我身后笑着对我说：“小朋友，我想买个平安果，多少钱一个啊?”我说：“不卖您，看我的，我一定能卖出去。”这时过来了一个阿姨，我走过去说：“阿姨，您买个平安果吧，5元一个，祝您……。”我的话还没说完，没想到阿姨说：“孩子，我买一个。”阿姨给我5元钱。“耶，我卖了一个平安果。”我高兴的蹦很高，我真高兴，忘记了寒冷，忘记了刚才的难过。我后来又卖了两个苹果，一个是5元卖的，一个是1元买的，我一共卖了11元钱。

妈妈们让我们集合了，要去吃饭了，我拿着自己挣到的11元钱，心里美滋滋的。妈妈们请我们这10个小朋友到比格吃的自助餐，我们吃得特别的多特别的香。一边吃，我们还一边比谁卖的钱多，陈潞曦卖了50元，最多，还有5元的。哈哈，我不是最后一名。

旁边桌上，妈妈们在吃饭，她们也在议论我们，还有个妈妈笑的眼泪都流出来了。

今年的圣诞节，我体会到了，挣钱还真不容易，做事情真不能放弃，要相信自己，要坚持。生活还真有意思，我今年的圣诞节好玩吧。小朋友们，你们有这样的经历吗?也和我一起分享一下吧。

真是一个难忘的圣诞节，我虽然只卖了11元钱，但是，我体会到的却很多。

Christmas is a Christian holiday held on December 25 which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Eastern Orthodox Churches, which use the Julian Calendar to determine feast days, celebrate on January 7 by the Gregorian Calendar. Both dates are merely traditional and neither is thought to be the actual birthdate of Jesus. Christs birth, or nativity, is said to fulfill Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming of a messiah, or savior.

The word Christmas is derived Middle English Christemasse and from Old English Cristes m?sse.[1] It is a contraction meaning "Christs mass". The name of the holiday is often shortened to Xmas because Roman letter "X" resembles the Greek letter (chi), an abbreviation for Christ .

In Western countries, Christmas has become the most economically significant holiday of the year. The popularity of Christmas can be traced in part to its status as a winter festival. Many cultures have their most important holiday in winter because there is less agricultural work to do at this time. Examples of winter festivals that are believed by some to have influenced Christmas include the pre-Christian festivals of Yule and Saturnalia.

In Western culture, the holiday is characterized by the exchange of gifts among friends and family members, some of the gifts being attributed to Santa Claus (also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Father Frost). However, various local and regional Christmas traditions are still practiced, despite the widespread influence of American, British and Australian Christmas motifs disseminated by film, popular literature, television, and other media.

Christmas Day is on December 25th. It was originated in the western

country, but today, this festival has been celebrated by the world. For the

manufacturers, they are very happy to make this day as a shopping day. I enjoy

the great atmosphere.

I had a very special Christmas day last year. I experienced the western

style festival. There was a new foreign teacher taught us the lesson. She was

about 50 years old and she was very kind and we all liked her. On Christmas Day,

she brought us the desserts she made early in the morning. We enjoyed the

home-made cakes. Whats more, she invited us to came to her house and spent the

day with her. Then for the first time, I ate big turkey, which was so delicious.

The turkey was filled with many stuffs and the flavor was so good. After dinner,

we sang songs and danced.

Thanks to my foreign teacher, I experienced the American style festival. It

was such funny for me. Though today many people enjoy shopping in all kinds of

festivals, the meaning of these festival should be remembered.

"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.

It was Christmas day. I got up early and put a boot on the bed. To be honest, I really want the advent of Santa Claus.

On the way, there was a Christmas atmosphere everywhere. In front of the store stood a large and small "Christmas tree", white glass with cotton candy. The stationery shops Santa Claus pencil bag is even more attractive.

When they came to the school, they were all studying in the classroom, and no one was aware of the "broken jade" scattered by the fairies outside the window. After 20 minutes, through the thin gauze curtain, you can clearly see the snow-covered snow, there are thousands of small footprints, this is their beautiful youth time.

The jade castle of the snow, at Christmas. It dances with the colorful Christmas tree. After a while, white the golden words on the roof, white campus corner...

The good time hurried by, I reluctantly walked on the way home.

In the evening, I was surprised to find that the boots were bulging and opened. There were so many lovely presents in it. A Santa Claus muppet, a little girl with pigtails and some weird candy. Maybe this is the legend of Santa Claus.

Today, I had an interesting Christmas. In todays morning song, the teacher told us about the story of Christmas and the legend of Santa Claus, and so on.

The most interesting thing is the afternoon. In the afternoon, the students in our class first made a handmade greeting card and then shared the Pingan fruit, the apple.

Manual is the teachers idea. This card is to be given to mom and dad and to thank them for their hard care for a year. The method is: Handmade cover is a "Merry Christmas", there is a pine tree, pine trees on both sides are some of his paintings about Christmas figures etc.. The back is a letter of gratitude to mom and dad. The handwork seems simple, but its hard to do it. I was anxious to cut the paper, and all the sweat was crying. After cutting the paper, the framed frame is cut. After cutting the box, draw the pine tree first, then fold it along both sides of the pine tree, and finally decorate it with the edge, so that the card is almost ready. The cover read "Merry Christmas" and write a letter of thanks to mom and Dad, will be accomplished.

After the card for mom and Dad, we started to divide the apples. Every student is rushing to the forefront. The class is bustling with excitement. Everyone is happy to eat apples. They are chattering Like a bird flying away.

This is an interesting Christmas, a meaningful Christmas, a happy day!

The stars look forward to the moon, and at last we look forward to Christmas.

Christmas is a happy holiday. As soon as I think about it, my heart will bloom a brilliant flower, happy and excited.

On Christmas day, all the days of the cold, raining outside snow. But the cold weather could not stop the happy steps of Christmas. There are beautiful Christmas trees in front of the shops in the street, and the staff in the supermarket are also wearing a lovely Christmas hat.

This evening my cousin, aunt and uncle, walked out of the door, everywhere can see the "floating" in the window of the shop "Snow", shops on both sides of the Christmas tree full of Santa Claus and toys, and lights in a riotous with colour light, people crowded a bit crowded, people holding many to buy things, the car to and fro, The stream never stops flowing. We walked on the street and heard a lot of Christmas songs, and I started to humming.

We walked into the clothing store and the clerks were busy entertaining customers. I left the right choice, that is, I cant find my favorite clothes. Suddenly, my eyes found a red and blue dress, then uncle brought a look dark clothes, with funny tone: "good looking?" I see, head shaking like a rattle. I took this piece of blue and red clothes and said: "I have to dress." Uncle agreed without hesitation. But uncle saw the price, with the manager a lot of bargaining, finally put 450 yuan the price becomes 300 yuan. So I returned home with satisfaction.

At home, I couldnt wait to put my socks beside the pillow. I slept in bed, while I waited for Santa to hide the gift in my socks, close my eyes, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

It is said that around sixteenth Century, the German evergreen pine branches to the furnishings in the house, and later, the German missionary Martin Ruud put the candle on the fir tree in the woods, and then lit, it looks like to guide people to the Bethlehem stars, like two thousand years ago, the three Magi found Jesus in accordance with the stars in general. Today, people have used small light bulbs instead of candles.

A long time ago, a farmer, met a poor child on Christmas day, he received a child, the child when he left pine root inserted in the ground and immediately turned into a pine tree, hung above a gift to farmers in return for the kindness.
