美国人如何庆祝圣诞节 英语作文(精选20篇)

The Christmas story also draws attention to all those people who are on the edge of society - people who feel cut off and disadvantaged; people who, for one reason or another, are not able to enjoy the full benefits of living in a civilised and law-abiding community. For these people the modern world can seem a distant and hostile place.

It is all too easy to turn a blind eye, to pass by on the other side, and leave it to experts and professionals. All the great religious teachings of the world press home the message that everyone has a responsibility to care for the vulnerable. Fortunately, there are many groups and individuals, often unsung and unrewarded, who are dedicated to ensuring that the outsiders are given a chance to be recognised and respected. However, each one of us can also help by offering a little time, a talent or a possession, and taking a share in the responsibility for the well-being of those who feel excluded.

And also today I want to draw attention to another group of people who deserve our thoughts this Christmas. We have all been conscious of those who have given their lives, or who have been severely wounded, while serving with the Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The dedication of the National Armed Forces Memorial was also an occasion to remember those who have suffered while serving in these and every other place of unrest since the end of the Second World War.

For their families, Christmas will bring back sad memories, and I pray that all of you, who are missing those who are dear to you, will find strength and comfort in your families and friends.

A familiar introduction to an annual Christmas Carol Service contains the words: Because this would most rejoice his heart, let us remember, in his name, the poor and the helpless, the cold, the hungry, and the oppressed; the sick and those who mourn, the lonely and the unloved.

Wherever these words find you, and in whatever circumstances, I want to wish you all a blessed Christmas.add text here.

Chinese Families and American Families

提纲

1。 中国家庭与美国家庭的共性。

2。 中国家庭与美国家庭的个性。

Both Chinese families and American families are smaller than they used to be。 Most young Chinese parents have only one child， while young Americans also prefer to have fewer children than their parents have。

However， unlike the Chinese young people， many young American couples think it is not easy to get along with their parents。 They will leave their parents and have their own homes once they get married。 Many of them would almost never live with their parents again。 It is a sad thing indeed。

Things are different in China。 Both the young and the old admit the problems between them， but they will try to understand each other。 Besides， sons and daughters in China will feel that they must take care of their old parents while old people cannot help wanting to do some thing for their busy children。 So it is still very common in todays China to see married sons and daughters living with their parents。 However， China no longer has families where four generations live under the same roof。

Underneath there is a button, and then sing "the moon". When I heard this song, I feel like as happy to see Santa Claus.

大家都过过圣诞节吧，你们都收到了什么礼物我猜大家都是爸爸妈妈给你买的吧可是我是圣诞老人送的。我已经收到圣诞老人两次礼物了。

第一次是在前年的12月25日。那天傍晚，我放学回到家，刚一进门，我想不到的是灯上挂着圣诞礼物，还有一封信。圣诞节的前一天，我曾给圣诞老人写过条子。写的是：“圣诞老人，我想要一个遥控车，最后祝圣诞快乐，身体健康。”圣诞老人的回信是：“谢谢，你已经有一个遥控车了，所以我送给你一个米老鼠。”我连写作业都顾不上，直接打开，果然是一个米老鼠。底下有一个按纽，一按，便唱起了《月亮之上》。听到这首歌，我感觉好像见到圣诞老人一样高兴。

第二次是去年的12月25日，和上次相同，一样收到礼物。我感觉这是爸爸妈妈送给我的。但爸爸露着一张诚实的脸告诉我：“圣诞老人真有”。我与同学也提起过这件事，同学都说肯定是爸爸妈妈给我买的。这两年解答这个问题也很难，我是半信半疑。今天，我写这篇文章时，姐姐给我讲了一个故事，名叫《圣诞节老人的来历》(真实的故事)。

在很久很久以前，圣诞老人是一个比较富裕的人，每年12月25日，他都给穷人送礼物。后来，他死了，为了纪念他，有很多人学做圣诞老人，给孩子们送礼物(玩具)。圣诞节是多么令我难忘，多么让我激动。今天，我终于解开了这个谜，圣诞老人是真有的，他是多么的关心我，我心里是多么的喜欢他，每当回忆起圣诞节，我就会由衷地发出会心的微笑。

Just in the month of this month, xu wenxu, a farmer of the village of jiaxi, the tujia miao autonomous county in chongqing, was busy. In order to prepare for this New Years eve dinner, some of the essential traditional entrees are not available for the first ten days and a half months. The most important of these are "dunking" and "pepper irrigation". Xu wenxu said, "the cut meat" seems simple, but to be really fat and not greasy, soft and smooth mouth, is to take a hard time. "Irrigation HaiJiao" is to mix in the glutinous rice noodles HaiJiao ingredients after fill in the empty one by one, and then into a pickle jar sealed half a month, in the New Years eve, take out a Fried oil will be ready to serve.

Tujia attaches importance to the two dish, because before all the year round on a few back to meat rare, glutinous rice is also a rare thing, so every family take this chance to show your skills as a family reunion dinner two dish, is also the family in order to reward hard work for a year.

Surprisingly, the kelp was once the main dish of the tujia family reunion dinner. Because the former tujia region to eat salt and water is difficult, medical conditions are also poor, often people have a large neck disease due to iodine deficiency. In order to provide the family with iodine, the family members of the family in the lunar New Year dinner together with a kelp, in order to replenish the iodine needed by the human body. Under the conditions at that time, the kelp was a "delicacies" to the family, and it was impossible to eat them regularly, so it became a good dish for the annual dinner. Today, the kelp has long been out of the stage.

After the family had eaten the New Years eve dinner, each family would have a log of firewood, and everyone would sit around and listen to the old man telling the story. The old man was waiting for the first day, and he was called "the ridge of the field" to express his love for the field.

Ethnic Korean: "wine" and "degu" occupy a special place

The yanbian Korean autonomous prefecture of jilin province is the main settlement area of Korean nationality in China, and the Spring Festival is also the traditional and most important festival of Korean nationality. The Korean lunar New Year meal has its own traditional food and features.

The Korean people have a lot of food, large and small plates, or even hundreds of dishes. The special place is the old wine and degu.

On the eve of the Spring Festival, reporters in the villages of yanbian Korean autonomous prefecture saw that many ethnic Korean villagers were brewing "old wine". The Korean people have the custom of drinking "wine" at the feast. This wine is often brewed before the "year of the year". The festival is equivalent to the Spring Festival of the han nationality, and the "year old wine" is mainly made of rice, which is a kind of medicinal liquor. During the Spring Festival, they drink and entertain themselves. They believe that drinking this wine can ward off evil spirits and long life.

"Is" is a kind of bread, soup is to big rice noodle and steamed, pounded into big stick, and then rub into oval round bar, sliced, pour into chickens, pheasants, beef soup pot, to eat again when put some sesame oil and sesame oil and seaweed, taste delicious.

On the thirtieth day, Korean women wear beautiful national costumes. Most families start making cakes in the early morning. Despite the fact that there are now machines for making cakes, they still prefer to use the hammer for themselves, because they still taste different.

On New Years eve, a family reunion dinner is a very happy time, and the whole family will stay up all night. Unlike the han Chinese, the Korean family will dance and dance with the old Korean gayqin and pipe music to welcome the New Year.

刚进腊月，重庆市酉阳土家族苗族自治县板溪乡红杏村农民许文旭家就忙开了。为了准备好这顿年夜饭，一些必不可少的传统主菜不提前十天半月准备是不行的。其中最主要的当数“扣肉”和“灌海椒”。许文旭说，“扣肉”看似简单，但要做到真正肥而不腻、嫩滑爽口，是要下一番工夫的。“灌海椒”则是把糯米面拌上作料后填入一个个掏空的海椒中，然后放入咸菜罐子里封存半个月，到了除夕，拿出来用油一炸就可以上桌了。

土家人之所以重视这两道菜，是因为以前一年到头难得吃上几回肉，糯米也是稀罕东西，因此家家都把这两道菜当作年夜饭展示手艺的机会，同时也是为了犒劳辛劳了一年的家人。

令人意外的是，海带还曾一度成为土家年夜饭的主菜。因为以前土家族聚集地区吃盐巴都困难，医疗条件也差，经常有人因缺碘患上大脖子病。为了给家人补碘，土家人就在年夜饭上一道海带，以补充人体所需的碘。在当时的条件下，海带对土家人来说，真可谓 “山珍海味”，经常吃根本不可能，因此成了年夜饭上的一道好菜。如今，海带早已退出年夜饭的“舞台”。

土家人吃过年夜饭后，各家都会燃起一根木柴，大家围坐聆听老人讲故事，守岁到天亮，名叫“守田埂”，以表达对田地的热爱。

朝鲜族：“岁酒”和“德固”占据特殊位置

吉林省延边朝鲜族自治州是我国朝鲜族主要聚居地区，春节也是朝鲜族的传统的和最重要的节日。朝鲜族的年夜饭有着自己传统的食品和特色。

朝鲜族的年夜饭丰常丰富，大大小小的盘子七八十个，有的人家甚至达上百个。其中占特殊位置的是‘岁酒’和‘德固’二种。

春节前夕，记者在延边朝鲜族自治州的各乡村看到，很多朝鲜族村民都在酿造“岁酒”。朝鲜族在年夜饭有喝“岁酒”的习俗。这种酒多在过“岁首节”前酿造。岁首节相当于汉族的春节，“岁酒”以大米为主料，配以多味中药材，是一种药酒。用于春节期间自饮和待客，他们认为饮用此酒可以避邪、长寿。

“德固”是一种汤饼，就是将大米面和好蒸熟后，捣成大粘团，再搓成椭圆形圆条，切成薄片，倒入鸡、野鸡、牛肉汤锅中，吃时再放些麻油或香油以及紫菜，味美可口。

在年三十那天，朝鲜族妇女都要穿上漂亮的民族盛装。大多数家庭从一大早就开始做打糕。尽管现在有卖做打糕的机器，但他们还是喜欢用打糕槌自己动手做，因为感觉味道还是不一样。

除夕夜一家都围在一起吃年夜饭，是非常幸福的时刻，全家都会守岁通宵达旦。与汉族不同的是，朝鲜族大年夜这顿饭会载歌载舞，伴着朝鲜族古老的伽耶琴和筒箫乐曲迎接新年的到来。

For the student who wants to improve his English quickly and learn about American customs firsthand, there is often an opportunity to live with an American family. There may be some disadvantages in this arrangement; however, I believe there are far more advantages.

First of all, the disadvantages may include lack of privacy and little opportunity to be independent. They will lose the chance of living on their own. Another drawback to living in an American home involves the possibility that the family may treat the student like a child. For example, the parents may want to decide who his friends should be and where he should go during his leisure time.

Even though there may be some disadvantages in living with an American family, the advantage far overweighs them. By taking part in a home-stay program, the student has an excellent opportunity to learn about American customs. Also, he will learn about many other aspects about American way of life, such as the way schools are run in the U nited States. And the family will no doubt make cerlain that he becomes acquainted with this new way of life, and soon he will feel at home.

一份精美的礼物，一句温暖的祝福与问候，传递了我和“小圣诞老人”的友谊!尽管只是一张小小的贺卡，你瞧那上面画的:一座座房子里灯火通明，一位小巧玲珑的、可爱的圣诞老人正伸了伸懒腰，又扛起了一大袋的礼物，接着便爬进了烟囱。许多英文字母也来凑热闹了，它们闪闪发光，在灯光的照耀下，格外醒目……由于这张贺卡是立体的，所以看起来栩栩如生!在贺卡的背面，还写着一句话：虽然是冬天，但我们的手还是那么温暖!雨婷，祝你圣诞快乐，希望你今年的圣诞节能收到很多的礼物!加油哟———你的好朋友佳慧写。看了这一句话后，我的泪水不由自主地流了下来，我被感动得哭了!

虽然这次我没有像佳慧所想的那样收到更多的礼物，但我有了佳慧的这份心意和贺卡就已经心满意足了呀!

hristmas 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!!!

Based on historical documents, modern survey and statistics, as well as the result of predecessor studies, the trend and main process of forest dynamics are recognized. The forest area and forest coverage rates for each province of China from 1700 to 1949 are es- timated backward by every 50 years. Linking the result with modern National Forest Inventory data, the spatial-temporal dynamics of Chinese forest in recent 300 years (AD 1700–1998) is quantitatively analyzed. The study shows that in recent 300 years, the forest area in current territory of China has declined by 0.95×108 hm2 (or 9.2% of the coverage rate) in total, with a trend of decrease and recovery. Before the 1960s, there was a trend of accelerated de- scending. The forest area was reduced by 1.66×108 hm2 (or 17% of the coverage rate) in 260 years. While after the 1960s, there has been a rapid increase. The forest area increased by 0.7×108 hm2 (or 8% of the coverage rate) in 40 years. The study also shows that there is a significant spatial difference in the dynamics of forest. The amplitudes of increasing and de- creasing in western China are both smaller than the ones in eastern China. During the rapid declining period from 1700 to 1949, the most serious decrease appeared in the Northeast, the Southwest and the Southeast, where the coverage rate in most provinces dropped over 20%. In Heilongjiang Province, the coverage rate dropped by 50%. In Jilin Province, it dropped by 36%. In Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality, it dropped by 42%. In Yunnan Prov- ince, it dropped by 35%. During the recovery period 1949–1998, the western provinces, mu- nicipality and autonomous regions, including Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Si- chuan–Chongqing, Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai, etc, the increase rates are all below 5%, while the eastern provinces, municipality and autonomous regions (except Heilongjiang, Hubei, Jiangsu–Shanghai) have achieved an increase over 5%, among which the Guang- dong–Hainan, Guangxi, Anhui, Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Fu- jian have an increase over 10%.

圣诞节是耶稣的人在世界上庆祝和纪念他崇拜这一天，圣诞老人来给孩子们送礼物，圣诞贺卡和装饰树木到处都是。圣诞颂歌回响在空中。我不是一个基督徒，但我也喜欢圣诞节大气。我祝大家圣诞快乐。

圣诞节是西方世界最重要的节日，是在12月25日，当我和母亲在美国的时候，我的一个母亲的朋友邀请我和一个美国家庭一起过圣诞节，我们在去他们家的路上给我们的美国朋友买了一些礼物。

我们到他们家的时候，他们为家里和客人准备了各种各样的礼物，比如圣诞蜡烛、蛋糕、卡片、小玩具、饼干等等!给我们留下了深刻的印象。我们吃了一顿大餐，晚饭后，他们给我们讲了一些圣诞节的故事，我们知道了圣诞节与神同在。我们午夜时分才上床睡觉。尽管我们知道圣诞老人是不是真的，我们还是等待着白胡子的圣诞老人为我们带来礼物，我们收到了许多漂亮的礼物的一天。

这个圣诞节真的很难忘。我不仅过得很愉快，而且还了解一些外国文化。

To be an American is, as Henry James famously observed, a complex fate. But complexity was that rococo masters stock-in-trade, which may explain why he returned to his native country in 1904 after an absence of more than 20 years. To be sure, he was interested in a Jamesian walk down memory lane, with its full quota of meditative hairsplitting. Yet he also meant to take advantage of his hybrid status as a Europeanized American. I made no scruple, James explains in his introduction, of my conviction that I should understand and should care better and more than the most earnest of visitors, and yet that I should vibrate with more curiosity ... than the pilgrim with the longest list of questions. Vibrate he did, in the ornate and extraordinary periods of his late phase, and the result was a one-of-a-kind travel book, The American Scene.What appalls him the most, though, is the Almighty Dollar, which he perceives as the preliminary American postulate, the very bedrock of New World life: This basis is that of active pecuniary gain and of active pecuniary gain only--that of ones making the conditions so triumphantly pay that the prices, the manners, the other inconveniences, take their place as a friction it is comparatively easy to salve, wounds directly treatable with the wash of gold. Some will argue that the fussbudget author had spent too much time in England, where money remained a dirty word until after the Second World War. Others may find his diagnosis eerily prescient. In any case, The American Scene remains required reading for anybody interested in U.S. history, Henry James, or the incredible evolution of the compound sentence.

一个美国人，因为亨利·詹姆斯曾经有过一个著名的评论，一个复杂的命运。但复杂性是洛可可硕士惯用手段，这或许可以解释为什么他回到自己的祖国1904年的缺失超过20年。可以肯定的是，他是感兴趣Jamesian重温记忆，完整的冥想吹毛求疵的配额。但他也意味着利用混合地位使欧化的美国人。我没有顾虑，詹姆斯解释说在他的介绍，我确信我应该理解和关心更好、更不是最认真的游客，然而，我应该振动有好奇心……比最长的朝圣者的问题列表。振动，在华丽的和非同寻常的时期他的后期阶段，而结果是一个独一无二的旅行书，美国的场景。是什么国家里有着令他最是万能的美元，他认为美国初步假设，新世界的基础生活:此基础上是积极活跃的经济收益和经济条件获得的只有——成功地支付，价格时，礼仪，其他不便，取而代之摩擦是相对容易的药膏，伤口直接与黄金洗治疗。有些人会辩称，大惊小怪的人作者花了太多的时间在英国，那里的钱仍然是一个肮脏的词汇，直到第二次世界大战之后。其他人可能发现他的诊断出奇的有先见之明。在任何情况下，美国仍然需要阅读美国历史上对任何人感兴趣，亨利·詹姆斯，或者是令人难以置信的并列复合句的进化。

How did Christmas

Christmas morning! Children like to wake up early while its still dark and sneak into the living room to check the presents----find any with their name on it, shake them to guess whats inside, and then maybe theyll go back to bed and pretend they are still asleep when their parents come to wake them with a "Merry Christmas!"

Christmas day is on December 25, people around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.Some people celebrate by giving gifts. Children may be thanking Santa Claus for new toys. They may also be going to church with their families. All the people always decorate a Christmas tree and sing and dance at home on Christmas day.

译文：圣诞节怎么过?

圣诞节的早晨!孩子们喜欢早起,它仍然是黑暗和溜进客厅去检查礼物——找到任何与他们的名字,动摇他们猜里面有什么,然后他们可能会回到床上,假装他们是还在睡觉当他们的父母叫他们“圣诞快乐!”

圣诞节是12月25日,世界各地的人们庆祝耶稣基督的诞生。有些人会以赠送礼物的方式来庆祝。孩子们会感谢圣诞老人新玩具。他们也可以和家人一起去教堂。所有的人都装饰圣诞树,圣诞节在家里唱歌跳舞。

The benefits of immigrating to the United States, whether you believe it or not, is an interesting phenomenon in the United States and naturalization, which is that the number of people applying for citizenship has soared in the era of immigration regulation. Last year was the most intense year for border security and illegal immigration in the United States, and the number of americans applying for citizenship last year was the highest since 1999. A similar situation occurred a decade ago. Dan, a spokesman for the U.S. citizenship and immigration services (USCIS). every time theres an immigration debate, theres always a surge in naturalization applications, says Dan Kane. Some experts believe that rising immigration, naturalization and other service costs in recent years may have pushed immigrants to apply for naturalization prior to the increase. In addition, foreigners will be keen to join us citizenship and, of course, the top ten benefits of naturalization.

Top 10 benefits of joining us citizenship:

1. The citizenship of the United States can be applied to many relatives as permanent residents in the United States according to the immigration law. There is no limit on the number of people and the time for waiting for the green card is much shorter. Along with a unique, that is, if you are a citizen of the United States, you can in your immediate family (including spouse, parents and unmarried minor child (children) in the United States during the visit (s) to apply for immigrants to him, and he (they) dont have to leave the country to do procedure, as long as with immigration give receipt can legally to stay in American waiting for the final approval of immigration, and not of little chance, its just a matter of waiting for the length of time.

2. Many countries have visa-free access to American citizens. It is more convenient for American citizens to enter customs than those who do not automatically enter the customs.

Most people dont want to commit a crime, but maybe in the wrong time, in the wrong place, we are victims of some kind of situation, but as American citizens, we will not be expelled from the country. American citizens do not have to worry about losing a green card or staying abroad for a long time.

4. Retired U.S. citizens can enjoy all social security benefits, and green card holders can only enjoy half the benefits.

5. U.S. citizens have the right to elect federal, state and local government officials. Some countries, including Ireland, the United Kingdom and Canada, recognize dual citizenship, allowing americans to retain their original nationality and passport. U.S. green card holders are not elected and elected before they enter the country.

6. American citizens can have more public benefits, including additional Security Income (SSI) and food stamps, as well as certain scholarships and financial aid.

American citizens can have more jobs and jobs. Only citizens can be elected to elected municipal, state and federal government posts. Many federal, state and municipal jobs recruit only U.S. citizens.

An adopted or biological child under the age of 18 can automatically become an American citizen. If a child is born outside the United States and is unmarried and under the age of 18, the child may be naturalized when his or her parents are naturalized.

American citizens have more financial and tax incentives, are often easier to get loans and get better lending rates because lenders think they are less likely to run for debt.

When you become an American citizen, you dont have to worry about a green card every 10 years.
