我的圣诞节用英语怎么说（合集20篇）

Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December. It is a very happy day for many boys and girls . Before the term ends in some schools , the children act a nativity① or “birth” play, showing how Jesus② was born in a stable③.

On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready. The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace , so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. The greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case④ or a sack⑤ to try to get more presents. Later that night, Father or Mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed.

On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two oclock, and most of them are awake by six oclock although it is not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the year.

Children look for their presents , and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared. At about one oclock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in . The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten . Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it . The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end.

As the Christmas Day is coming, our class decided to send some gifts to our

teachers, because we wanted to show our gratitude to them. At first, we had no

idea what to buy, because we wanted to do something special. So at last an idea

came to my mind. I advised to write a card, pasting some pictures of classmates

on it. Everybody agreed with me, so we spent a day to take some funny pictures,

and everybody wrote down their names on the card. When we sent this gift to the

teachers, they loved it so much. They were so impressed by this precious

surprise and would keep it forever.

Christmas is a time for miracles.It is also a time when the dull things of daily life and the forecast of human hature gives way to a spiritual awakening.Allow me to share with you one truly wonder of Christmas.

Our miracle story comes from an incident that occurred in Flanders, Belgium, at the dawn of World War I. On December 24th ,1914, German and English troops faced each other from the relative safety of their ditches across which no man’s land lying between them. Suddenly, the silence was broken, not by gunfire, but by the strains of Silent Night arising from the German position. It wasn’t long before the English troops responded with a Yuletide hymn of their own. Then an amazing sight surprised the eyes of the English soldiers. A German soldier holding a small tree arranged with lighted candles began to walk across the land toward the English lines. This miraculous scene occasioned the declaration of a truce followed by English and German troops greeting one another, exchanging small gifts and singing songs of Christmas. Word of this incredible phenomenon reached the High Command of both sides.

On Christmas Day, both armies moved from their positions to engage in the killing of war at other battlefields. However, on Christmas Eve 1914 on a field in Flanders, there was Peace on Earth.

Christmas is a truly amazing phenomenon. The day and season perpetuate a miraculous, historical event as an annual presence that challenges an often rough, cruel, and egotistical creature — the human being — to become open and amenable to their Creator’s vision. The great miracle of Christmas continues in the performance of humane acts, moral honesty, and in the spiritual awareness of millions struggling to lead a life of grace.

圣诞节对全球的影响：

在2012年，在全球经济不景气的情况下，全球的圣诞经济并不乐观。虽然较平常确有不小幅度的升温，但远远低于历史水平。尤其是类似希腊这样陷入债务危机的国家，经济本身并没有复苏，购物的人们只能转转无奈离去。英国、加拿大、新加坡、美国等国由于经济好转，在商家的大力促销下圣诞经济快速回升。

Everybody celebrated Christmas, you received what gift I guess everyone is mom and dad to buy you but I am a Santa Claus. I have received Santa Claus gift for twice.

The first was in the previous year December 25th. That evening, I returned home from school, just take the door, I can think of is hung on the lamp Christmas gifts, and a letter. The day before Christmas, I gave Santa wrote a note. Wrote: "Santa Claus, I want to have a remote control car, finally is wishing you all a merry Christmas and a healthy body." Santas reply was, "thank you, you already have a remote control car, so I send you a Mickey Mouse." I even write my homework helping open directly, and it is a Mickey Mouse. Underneath there is a button, and then sing "the moon". When I heard this song, I feel like as happy to see Santa Claus.

Second is December 25 last year, and the last time the same, the same gift. I feel this is mom and dad gave me. But dad with an honest face told me: "Santa Claus has a real". I also mentioned this matter with classmates, classmates said affirmation is a mom and dad to buy me. Solve this problem is hard to over the past two years, I am a grain of salt. Today, I write this, my sister told me a story, named "the origin of Christmas old man" (true story).

In a long time ago, Santa Claus is a relatively wealthy people, every year December 25, his gifts to the poor. Later, he was dead, in order to commemorate him, there are a lot of people learn to do Santa Claus, gifts for the children (toy). Christmas is so memorable to me, how let me excited. Today, I finally solved the mystery, Santa Claus is really some, how much he care about me, my in the mind is how love him, when Christmas memories, I would sincerely a knowing smile.

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。

At school today, I went home with my classmates. Because today is a wonderful Christmas Eve. As soon as he came home, dad told me to eat at International Building today. I listened and jumped three feet high with joy. As soon as my mother went home, my father and I went out to eat. On the way, I saw a smiling face on the face of the pedestrians tonight, giving people a feeling of peace and warmth. Walking to the gate of International Building, a warm stream was felt, the cold wind outside the glass door was piercing, and the door was pushed into the warm spring. The Santa Claus in the building waved to us all the time. The green trees of the Christmas tree were covered with thousands of colorful lanterns. Twinkling and twinkling eyes blinked.

When I entered the building, I went straight to the 2 building, and a Christmas song was raged in the western restaurant. A photo of an amiable Santa Claus on the wall. I was sitting on a table with my father, mother and aunts and aunts. All of us were like a big family. It wasnt long before those delicious dishes came. At the sight of the fragrant duck, I cant control myself again and eat it. After I finished these delicious fun, I and many children ran in for a while to see the International Building and courteous and accessible Santa, for a while to see the Christmas tree that a riot of colours of light.

Christmas is a good holiday for gifts. When I was young, I always dreamed that one day Santa could come to my house and give me a nice Christmas gift. When I grew up, I knew that when I was a child, those gifts were sent by mom and dad. Todays Christmas, I pestered my father and mother to give me a gift. Mother told me with a smile. The mother laughed and told me, "tomorrow morning you wake up, Santas gift will be returned." Although I knew the gift was sent by my father and mother, I still put a pair of socks on the head of the bed at night. I woke up in the morning and found a 35 dollar book stuck in my socks. I was so happy that I jumped on the bed and yelled, "long live Santa Claus!" I went to school with a book card to show off to my classmates.

I love Christmas!

Today is Christmas day

It was one of the last days before Christmas, and the as sistants in the large store had their hands full serving eager Christmas shoppers.

At one counter an old lady was choosing gloves red ones for her daugher in law, light blue ones for her niece, pink ones for her grand daughter, green ones for her sister and by the time she had found what she wanted, the counter was covered with pairs of all colors and sizes.

When the salesgirl had finally written out the bill and was about to turn to the next customer with a tired voice. "Thank you very much, madam," the old lady suddenly cried out, "Oh, I almost forgot..."——"Anything else, madam?" said the girl, "Yes," began the old lady, "Id like to buy another pair, but I m not quite sure about what exactly I should cloose. I wonder if you could help me." "Certainly, madam", was the girls reply. The old lady then went on to explain that what she was looking for was a pair of gloves for a girl of her age. She was not at ail sure what color to choose, and the design was a problem too.

The tired girl did her best to help the old lady make up her mind, showing her ail kinds of gloves.

At last the chosen pair of gloves were wrapped up and paid for as well, and as the girl was about to turn to the next customer, the old lady handed her a little parcel and said, "These now, dear, these are for you and thank you for being so patient. I do hope you have a merry Christmas !"

译文：圣诞节的一天

那是圣诞前的一天，在一所大商店里，售货员都忙着为那些渴望购物的顾客服务。

在一个柜台前，一位老太太在挑选手套：红色的是买给她儿媳的;淡蓝色的是买给她侄女的;粉红色的是买给她孙女的，绿色的是买给她妹妹的，等她将所有她要买的选好的时候，柜台上已放满了各种颜色、大小不一的手套。

最后女售货员开了发票，疲乏地说了声“非常感谢，太太”，正要转向下一个顾客时，老太太突然叫了起来，“哦，我差点忘了……”“还要别的什么 吗，太太?”女售货员问道。“是的，”老太太说了起来，“我想再买一双，不过我不知道该选什么样的。不知你能不能帮我选选。”售货员的回答是“当然可以， 太太。”老太太接着解释说，她要买的是一双像女售员这样年轻的姑娘戴的手套。她一点也不知该选什么颜色。再说，选什么式样也是个问题。

疲惫的女售货员尽力地帮她选好一双手套。

最后选好的手套被包了起来，也付了钱。当女售货员正要转向另一顾客时，老太太把一个小包裹递给她说：“亲爱的，这是给你的，谢谢你这么耐心。祝你圣诞快乐。”

For many people Christmas is a very special time of year. It is a time filled with magic - this is especially true for Children. The gifts and toys, of course, are a big part of it ......

but it is much more than that. Christmas means many different things to different people but in its essence Christmas is about sharing joy and love with those who are dear to you, and then reaching out with that love to the world. May you and your loved ones have a very Merry Christmas!

1.Hello everyone,my topic of the speech for today is "City Life and Country Life".

Why do people choose to live in the cities today?The reason is:in the cities,we have more opportunities.In cities there are many shops.There is no problem if you need to buy something.If it isnt in one shop you can go to another one.In the village there are usually only few shops and even the only one with the necessary foods.But cities arent only centres of shopping but there are also many offices.Of course all the good schools are in cities.People in the cities can find a now job more easily than people in the country.After all,a job opportunity is one of the most important reasons why to move to the city.But many people from cities say they would love living in the country.I agree with them.

2.Many citizens like to live in the city.City folks like the conveniences and comforts of the big city.It is convenient to get around in the city by bus or taxicab.There are many taxicabs in most cities.

Cities have many schools for children,young people and adults.Adults can go to class at night to learn to read and write better,and to be trained for better jobs.Every large city has at least one college.Adults as well as young people have the chance to go to college.

Citizens of cities have convenient medical services.There are many good doctors to give these medical services.There are many policemen in the cities.The police protect the citizens.

The city has many kinds of entertainment.There are film shows,plays,concerts,parades,and many other kinds of entertainment.There are many places to visit.Many adults like the entertainment and comforts found in a city.

But some of our citizens like the country better.They say the country has many comforts,too.Most homes in the country have electricity.They have electric ice boxes and electric stoves.The country has many more conveniences and comforts than it once had.

The country has space for people to do things.People who live in the country have space to plant flowers and space to keep animals.Some people like to have space in which they can move around freely.

People in the country get lots of exercise when they work on the land.Children get lots of exercise by working or riding their bicycles to school.In the country there are fewer accidents and people do not need so many policemen to protect them.Living in the country is clean and quiet.

Where would you rather live,in the city or country?

Dear teacher,

Hello!

It is also a harvest season and a safe season. On this special holiday, On behalf of all the students in the Class of Business School x, I would like to extend my most sincere holiday wishes to the teachers!

Time travel, the passage of time, in the blink of an eye we from a naughty child to sensible youth. Two years ago, it was the teacher who brought us to the university gate. In the past two years, we have felt the care of the teachers relatives.

As a Chinese saying goes, "teachers are teachers, so they impart knowledge and solve doubts". In the classroom, I can still see the busy figure of teachers. They impart their lifes knowledge to us without reservation and patiently teach us. I remember that one of our international trade professional teachers often give us lessons in sickness, listening to her hoarse voice so far I can not imagine; We did not have water to drink in the training room. She brought us water to drink by boiling it herself and took care of us like a kind mother.

"A day as a teacher, a lifetime as a mother," in the life of the teacher meticulous care to take care of us. Just entered the university we are not used to the university life, teachers often come to our dormitory to visit us and chat with us. I remember one time when a student in our dormitory got sick at 2 o clock in the evening. After dialing the teacher, the teacher immediately came to accompany him to the hospital. He didnt come back to school until 7 o clock in the morning. When we thank, the teacher said such a situation often happen, you do not need to thank, this is what we should do.

"Happy to go home, safe return to school" every holiday home, business school will be under the leadership of Secretary Xu visited each dormitory, exhort ten thousand safety first.

Out of the school, review the reading career bit by bit, campus events in mind. The heart of gratitude, the presence of exhibitors: do not forget the hard work of teachers, teachers do not respect the teachings. According to the preliminary understanding of the X class of business school internship situation is optimistic. Ask 13 classes of students, most of the number has been in the unit internship. There are internship in foreign trade companies, logistics companies internship also some in the factory tracking orders, like a large number of students chain classes are in the supermarket internship...... Different students are distributed across different industries. They are conscientious in their posts and study hard to live up to their teachers expectations.

Remember that President Wang once said to us: even if you go out of the school but the teachers and students love continuous, always depend on; On campus, you are proud of your school. On campus, the school is proud of you. We will return the teacher with excellent results, live up to the teachers expectations of us.

"Spring silkworm to the death of silk, wax torch ashes tears before dry", looking back yesterday, looking forward to the Ming Dynasty, we thank the teacher for our dedication. Finally to all the teacher sincere tunnel 1: "hard work, teacher!" And I would like to express my highest respect to you! May teachers flourish and peaches and plums fragrance all over the world!

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。

it is hardly make me forget the christmas party that i spent a whole night whih my friends.

this christmas,i invited some frineds to my home to celebrate.we made the house up ,like a magic world. to be honest ,i haven‘t got any experience like that.we got togather,song and danced. one of my frineds was dressed like santa----the father of christmas.he collected all the presents of us.put them into a bag ,then let us chose one of them.so we can get all the best wishes from all of us.

we talkde so much what about our friendship and other interesting things. all of us thought that night was very pricesuress

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)

圣诞老人的传说在数千年前的斯堪的纳维亚半岛即出现。北欧神话中司智慧，艺术，诗词，战争的奥丁神，寒冬时节，骑上他那八脚马坐骑驰骋于天涯海角，惩恶扬善，分发礼物。与此同时，其子雷神着红衣以闪电为武器与冰雪诸神昏天黑地恶战一场，最终战胜寒冷。据异教传说，圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。也有传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称St.Nicholas.因这些故事大多弘扬基督精神，其出处，故事情节大多被淡忘，然而圣诞老人却永驻人们精神世界。

每年圣诞日，圣诞老人骑在白羊星座上，圣童手持圣诞树降临人间，随着世事变迁，作家和艺术家开始把圣诞老人描述成我们今日熟悉的着红装，留白胡子的形象。同时不同的国度和文化对圣诞老人也有了不同的解释。在德国，传说他扮成圣童把坚果和苹果放在孩子们鞋里。他乘双轮马车四处漫游，观察人们的行为，尤其是小孩，如果表现好，将会得到苹果、坚果、糖等诸多奖品。坏孩子则得一鞭子。家长们灵机一动纷纷采用此传说来鼓励孩子们听话。大大超过了新年，成为一个全民的节日。圣诞老人已经成为圣诞节最受喜爱的象征和传统。他赶 着驯鹿，拉着装满玩具和礼物的雪橇挨家挨户给每个孩子送礼物的快乐老精灵的形象已深深地留在人们的记忆中。

11世纪末来自意大利的宗教士兵将Nicholas圣人的遗物带回意大利，并在港口城市Bari建造了一座教堂来纪念他。很快世界各地的基督教徒纷至沓来朝圣这位圣人。这些朝圣者将圣人Nicholas的故事带回他们的本土，所以有关圣诞老人的传说在各个国家都各具特色。

12世纪欧洲出现了圣人Nicholas纪念日，以互赠礼物和慈善活动为主。德国、法国、荷兰则将12月6日作为宗教纪念日，给孩子和穷人们赠送礼物。

荷兰殖民者来到美洲时，将他们的Sintirklass主教也带了去，Sintirklass身着红袈裟，骑着一匹白马。Sintirklass的美国形象后来逐渐演变成一个快乐的老精灵。起初美国作家华盛顿.欧文在他的喜剧《纽约的历史》中将他描述成一个又圆又胖的荷兰老人。1823年，诗人Clement Moore在他的诗歌《St.Nicholas印象》中继续将Sintirklass/Saint Nicholas的形象戏剧化，这就是各位在本篇开头看到的圣诞老人。

19世纪60年代卡通制作者Thomas Nash画了一幅胖胖的、慈祥的圣诞老人作为《Harper的一周》的插图。这个圣诞老人的形象开始深深地扎根于美国人民的脑海中。随着时间的推移，圣诞老人的形象传回欧洲，传到南美洲，传遍世界各地。

许多国家都保存了他们自己有关圣诞老人的风俗和传说。在荷兰的传说中，圣诞老人Sintirklass还带了一个叫Black Peter的助手，乘着一艘船于12月6日来到。他带着一本大书，书中描述了所有荷兰小孩在过去一年中的表现。表现好的小孩就送礼物给他们，不好的小孩便让他的助手带走。

德国的圣诞老人也带着一个叫做Knecht Ruprecht、Krampus或Pelzebock的助手，肩上背着个装着礼物的大袋子，手上拿着一根棍子。好孩子可收到他的礼物，顽皮的孩子却要给教训几棍子。

意大利的圣诞老人叫La Befana ;法国的圣诞老人叫Father Christmas或Pere Noel ;瑞士的圣诞老人叫Christkindl或Christ Child;斯勘的纳维亚地区的圣诞人叫julenisse 或 juletomte ;而英国的圣诞老人和法国一样也叫Father Christmas(圣诞之父)，他的形象比其它圣诞老人更庄严，更清瘦一些。北美的圣诞老人便是乘着驯鹿拉的雪橇来给孩子们送礼物的。

Today is Christmas day。Although this is the festival of foreigners。But I still have a very meaningful。The wind，not bit off my enthusiasm。I gazed eyed ，looking forward to celebrate this special day。Soon，I received a gift from Santa Claus。I dressed as Santa and companions，gifts and blessings from door to door。We are jumping and dancing around the Christmas，green branches hung with all kinds of lights，flashing like little stars。We also played games together，make all sorts of mischief，screaming cheers echoed over the us。Enjoy we passed each other a nice present， the frequent laughter，not only to present a more profound friendship，heat in everyone‘s heart。we love Christmas day。

This is a memorable day。

今天是圣诞节。虽然这是外国人的节日。但对我而言，仍然是一个非常有意义的节日。风阻挡不了我的热情。我静静地期待着庆祝这个特殊的日子。不久，我收到了一份从圣克劳斯寄来的圣诞礼物。我和朋友打扮成圣诞老人的样子，带着礼物挨家挨户地去祝福邻居。我们在圣诞节跳舞。绿色的树枝上挂着各种装饰，灯光闪烁，像小星星。我们也在一起玩游戏，各种恶作剧，尖叫欢呼回荡在我们周围。我们收到了彼此的礼物，渴望建立一个更深厚的友谊，在每个人的心里，我们非常热爱圣诞节。

这是一个值得纪念的日子。

Christmas is coming, I have a lot of desire to achieve, to the snow outside the window I quietly pray:

圣诞节就要到了，我有很多愿望想实现，对着窗外的皑皑白雪我轻声的祈祷：

亲爱的圣诞老公公：请送给我一个时光机。我会非常高兴，谢谢你!你看到我的笑容一定会非常开心，对不对?

我还希望我有可以飞的机器、五十个茶叶蛋、一百个冰棒、一个冰箱、一幅杨贵妃肖像画、五十条香肠、一支鱼竿和一枝自动铅笔。这些东西应该都很容易整理好，送给我，我会跟我的朋友们一起分享，你说可好?

Minor city of Rafah and he was called a man of God after his death. He is an old man in red clothes and he wears a red hat.He has white mustache. He comes from the north on a blowmobile every Chrismas Day. He went into peoples houses by the track and he put the presents into childrens socks. So in western countries,parents put the gifts to their kids in kids socks and put them on the head of the bed on Chrismas Eve. On the second day, the first thing after kids wake up is to find the presents from Chrismas Fathers.

On Christmas night, my mother took me to the street. I saw the streets and the sea of people. The goods in the shops, a superb collection of beautiful things beyond count, and high quality and inexpensive, people are busy purchasing the goods. At a small ornament shop, my mother bought me a Christmas hat for me as a Christmas gift.

I happily wear Christmas hat, continue to walk in the street, in a photo in front of my mother and I saw Mitch and Minnie respectively on both sides of the station in the door, put a different posture, to attract customers. The door also posted a variety of high-profile Santa avatar, infinite changes, children in different poses and with different expressions, the eyes are often attracted to the front of the scene, standing there all eyes looked for a moment to go with mom and dad. I wandered for a long time, and when my father and mother kept pressing, I was reluctant to go home.

This is my Christmas, and I hope I can get the gift of Santa Claus next year.

The Christmas party

It was Christmas Day yesterday. We had a Christmas party at school. Many friends of mine came to the party. After we said"Merry Christmas", we began to sing Christmas songs, such as Edelweiss, andso on. Then we told some Christmas stories, such as Christmas Father. Then I danced and laughted with my friends. We all had a good time. When the party came to the end,we said "Happy New Year" to each other.

译文：圣诞晚会

昨天是圣诞节，我们在学校举办了圣诞晚会，我的许多朋友都来参加晚会。我们互道“圣诞快乐”后，开始唱圣诞歌，像“雪绒花”等。然后我们讲圣诞故事，如“圣诞老人”等，我们都玩得很开心。当晚会即将结束时，我们互祝“新年快乐”。

学校通过组织一个圣诞节英语派对，丰富同学们的课余生活，培养学生的学习兴趣和热情，增加小朋友们对于英语的兴趣，让所有小朋友都能广泛参与。英语圣诞晚会，还能激发学生在我们学校学习英语，帮助学生提高综合素质评价，在同一时间，提高学生学习英语的能力，为以后学习和竞争中取得良好的优势。

今天中午吃完饭后，妈妈送我来到了我们英语学校举行的年度圣诞节晚会。

大约13：30的时候，我们的晚会正式开始了，我们大家都非常高兴。首先，我们观看了精彩的节目：有打架子鼓的，有弹吉他的，有跳拉丁舞的，还有打双节棍的，等等等等，真是精彩绝伦，赏心悦目啊!

看完精彩的节目之后，我们进行了三等奖的抽签活动之中。悲哀，我不是那30个当中幸运儿的其一，但是老师说，还有一等奖和二等奖。

我们休息了片刻，看了看同学变得小戏法之后，我们打二等奖抽签活动又开始了。果然，好心不负有心人，我是10名二等奖中的得主，获得了一个毛绒玩具。这时的我正在想，那丰富多彩的一等奖又会花落谁家呢?

接下来，我被邀请上台做了游戏。这个游戏的名字叫做家长互换。游戏规则：10位孩子站在舞台上，后面是自己的家长。然后，我们10位孩子蒙上眼睛，家长互相移动。1分钟之后，必须找到自己的家长。幸好妈妈有明显的标志物，手里拿着手机。

所有活动结束后，我们每个人都领了学习大礼包。里面有各种各样的学习文具，我们都异常的欢喜。

祝大家圣诞节节日快乐!
