+ 加入清单圣诞老人只有在圣诞节时出现,我是第三百六十一代的圣诞老婆婆,将给全世界的乖孩子快乐和笑声!这可是我第一次的经验。
我最讨厌红色,要我全身都穿鲜红色的根本就是不可能啊!而且那些衣服又老又丑,我打算穿漂亮一点。打开衣柜,我找了一件水蓝蓝的上衣,又找了一件靛色的牛仔裤,拿了一条美丽的珍珠项链。我可不想让别人取笑我的发型很怪,于是拿起吹风机,把美丽的秀发吹了又吹,变成漂漂亮亮的。我带了一大包的礼物,结果实在太大一包了,雪橇太小。于是我把它们放在大卡车上,发现已经没有油了!才费了九牛二虎之力带来非常多只小狼狗,开始发送礼物。
我不发送礼物给坏小孩,看见街头流浪的小朋友,停下那大卡车,拿起一小河的礼物送给了他。在他打开礼物的一刹那,砰!的一声,出现了在天堂的的家人,一间温暖的房子。原来里面装了亲情,快乐和幸福。我一一的把神秘的礼物送给孤儿。
当我要把礼物发给有家的乖小孩时,竟然发现烟囱太小,我钻不进去。只好慢慢的挖洞,这个工作真累人啊!不过想到明天孩子们的快乐和笑声时,我把所有辛苦都忘记了!看到好吃的饼干,这正是小朋友喜欢的,真是美味可口极啊!
等到我回家时,早已累到,倒在床上呼呼大睡。当一位圣诞老人真不简单!可是知道孩子们很幸福,嘴巴甜蜜的笑了起来。

篇20:有关英语圣诞节
全文共 1524 字
+ 加入清单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.
