圣诞节作文用英语(汇总19篇)

We get presents from each other， we all love each other.

I didnt know there was a Christmas before.

Now， I know that Christmas is the day when Santa Claus gives presents to children.

Because there are too many homework exams， because theres too much homework to do， and when I think about Christmas this year， its December 25th night. I spoke to my mother and said， "Mom， I havent had Christmas yet."!" Mother said， "Christmas is a foreign festival， which is equivalent to our Spring Festival.". We are nothing but foreigners festivals， and we celebrate our spring festival!" I said， "but I thought too much about Christmas."! Why cant Santa just give me presents?" Mom eyeball a turn， stooping， smiling at me： "Santa Claus will also distribute the gift to you!" My eyes lit up， staring big eyes， eager to ask： "really?" Where? Where is it?" My mother smiled and said： "as long as you actively to contribute， in a few days， Santa Claus will send you a gift to myself!" Once I heard it， I ran into the study room and ran and said， "Ill write it now."!" My mother was happy again， and I laughed happily.

Speaking of Christmas, I would not hesitate to think of the Spring Festival in China, is a beautiful Christmas tree, is an ancient culture of traditional paper-cut grilles; Is a funny Santa Claus, a surplus of the host is on a smile, both seem to have nothing to do, however, the Chinese New Year and Christmas in the west is the same, is the same as a grand festival!

Adults also play day and night, discussing with classmates outside worry their joys and sorrows suantiankula, and had close friends heart-to-heart talk...

Christmas, if this become vigorous, then people will be the most popular Christmas a holiday!

说起圣诞节，我会毫不犹豫地想到我国春节，一个是美轮美奂的圣诞树，一个则是古老文化的传统剪纸窗花;一个是风趣横生的圣诞老人，一个则是台上笑盈的主持人，两者似乎毫不相干，但是，中国的春节与西方国家的圣诞节是一样的，是一样的一个盛大的节日!

我，一个炎黄子孙，却喜欢一个西方国家纪念耶稣的节日。虽然在中国圣诞节没有什么深刻的意义是西方国家流传而至的，但是，很多人想让中国的圣诞节也像我们想象中那样盛大那样有趣——

自小，我就在想：圣诞节有圣诞树，还有即使是不存在的有趣的圣诞老人，还可以同学朋友之间互相送礼物，如果中国的圣诞节也像春节那么盛大该多好啊，每家有一棵高至天花板的碧绿碧绿的圣诞树，经济好的有好多棵，圣诞树上挂着一件件精美的礼物，还邦着一个艺术无与伦比的大蝴蝶结。有兴趣的人们还可以穿着圣诞老人的衣服当夜幕降临人们都睡时，拿着一大袋一玩具小玩意儿小东西小零食，悄悄地一家一家送去。还可以把自己的一些要好的朋友约到家里一起过个圣诞派对，自己精心准备一些小东西，虽然是不值钱的，但是这才是真正无价的友谊;一起做一顿还意思的饭，他来问做好没，他说快了，然后西红柿就砸在了他的脸上;一起装饰屋子，他说凳子再往右点，他刚一出手，他就站不稳了;一起打打闹闹，几个房间都是满满的人，他把枕头打在他脸上，他又将鸡蛋打在他脸上……

大人们也玩的日日夜夜，在外面与同学们讨论心事自己的喜怒哀乐酸甜苦辣，与曾知心交心的朋友谈心……

圣诞节，如果变得这样轰轰烈烈，那么圣诞节将是人们最欢迎的一个节日!

Christmas is a happy day. Come to think about it, I will be a bright flower in full bloom in the heart happy and excited.

On Christmas day, the day very cold. But the cold weather also can not hold up against the footsteps of merry Christmas. The streets are placed in front of the shop in the beautiful Christmas tree, in the supermarket employees also have a lovely Christmas cap. Look at these, our these little heart. Therefore, the idea of a special Christmas party.

Through planning, in the afternoon, we draw on the blackboard on the beard Santa Claus, spray on the Windows on the white snow, is still in the middle of the classroom on a tree with the stars of the Christmas tree. Students around the Christmas tree ah, jump ah, can be happy, the classroom immediately with a festival festival atmosphere.

The arrival of the good is not easy to look forward to the party. The first show is the flute ensemble songs friendship. The flute melodious sound, so that we could not help singing gently on the audience. Unconsciously, the show at the end of the students in the thunderous applause. Then, we hurriedly out beautiful snowflake ribbons for the next program - a joke. The performer is tall zhang zhen yu gong guan and troublemakers. Their conversation humorous and funny action performances, provoked we all laughed.

The party in a happy atmosphere, the actors use all ways, to make the audience laugh and applause. The audience all smiled blushing all, slap pain film. Close to the end of the party, we took out the last of the whole classs secret weapon - the colorful petals, thrown into the air and into the actors...

Look at these beautiful petals, I thought: in this special day, Santa Claus has become our most lovely people.

圣诞节是一个开心的日子。一想起来，我的心里就会盛开一朵灿烂的花，快乐而激动。

圣诞节那天，天格外寒冷。但寒冷的天气丝毫也挡不住圣诞节快乐的脚步。街上的商店门前都摆上了美丽的圣诞树，超市里的员工也戴上了可爱的圣诞帽。看着这些，我们这些小鬼心里乐开了花。因而，举办一场别开生面的圣诞庆祝会的想法便油然而生。

经过策划，下午我们在黑板上画上了大胡子圣诞老人，在窗户上喷上了洁白的雪花，还在教室中央放上了一棵缀满星星的圣诞树。同学们围着圣诞树转啊，跳啊，可高兴了，教室里顿时洋溢出节日喜庆的气氛。

好不容易盼到了晚会的到来。第一个节目是笛子合奏《友谊歌》。笛声悠扬动听，使我们也忍不住在观众席上轻轻吟唱起来。不知不觉，这个节目在同学们雷鸣般的掌声中结束了。接着，我们连忙喷出美丽的雪花彩带迎接着下一个节目——笑话。表演者是高个子龚关和捣蛋鬼张振宇。他们风趣幽默的对话和滑稽的动作表演，惹得我们个个捧腹大笑。

晚会在欢乐的气氛中进行着，演员们使出全身解数，来博得观众的笑声和掌声。观众们个个笑得脸红通通的，巴掌都拍痛了。晚会接近尾声时，我们全班同学拿出了最后的秘密武器——五颜六色的花瓣，抛向空中，抛向演员们……

看着这些美丽的花瓣，我想：在这个特殊的日子里，圣诞老人成了我们最可爱的人。

Less little Christmas tree, Christmas is the feast of atmosphere, there are a variety of different legends about the Christmas tree.

A is said about the 16th century, the germans evergreen pine tree branches to house decoration, become a Christmas tree. Later, the German Martin Luther put candles on fir trees of the forest, and then lit candles, looks like the lead people to Bethlehem, today have to switch to pink small bulb.

There is a legend, long long ago, there was a farmer, on Christmas day met a poor child, he warmly received the children. Children stuck in the ground when he left broke off a piece of pine, pine immediately into a tree, are hung above the gift, thanks to the farmers kindness.

There are many types of Christmas tree, the tree is full of decoration, but the top of the tree, there must be a big star symbolizes the three wise men following the star to find Jesus, only the head of the household can hang up the star of hope.

少了圣诞树，圣诞节就少了过节的气氛，关于圣诞树有多种不同的传说。

一个是说：大约十六世纪，德国人把长青的松柏枝拿到屋中去摆设，成为圣诞树。后来，德国人马丁路德把蜡烛放在树林中的枞树枝上，然后点燃蜡烛，看起来像是引导人们到伯利恒去，今日已改用粉色小灯泡。

还有一个传说记载，很久以前，有一位农民，在圣诞节遇到一个穷苦的小孩，他热情地接待了这个儿童。儿童临走时折下一根松枝插在地上，松枝立即变成一棵树，上面都挂满礼物，以答谢农民的好意。

圣诞树首先见于德国，后又传入欧洲和美国，以其优美的姿态，成为圣诞节不可缺少的装饰。圣诞树的种类繁多，树上满是装饰品，但树顶一定有颗大星星，象征三贤士跟随该星找到耶稣，只有一家之主才可以把希望之星挂上。

The night when Jesus was born， the shepherd who watched the sheep in the wilderness heard a voice from the sky and told them the news of Jesuss birth. According to the Bible， Jesus came to the world to be king of the world， so the angels passed the news to more people through these shepherds.

Later， people imitated the angels， and on the night of Christmas Eve， they spread the news of Jesuss birth. Until today， it evolved into the good news. Although Christmas Eve is a festival for foreigners， we are also excited about this day.

On Christmas Eve， each family places a Christmas tree according to tradition. That night， the family gathered in the living room， surrounded by Christmas trees singing Christmas songs， exchanging gifts， sharing the joys and sorrows of life， expressing their inner blessings and love， and praying for happiness in the coming year.

life; A teacher is a key that opens the door to our knowledge; The teacher is

the most dazzling star in the dark night, let us on the right path... And you

I still remember that when I was in grade two, I often thought about some

uninhibited things in my mind. On A Christmas day, I unexpectedly received a

gift from "Santa Claus". The whole class doesnt believe in Santa Claus. I do.

The next day, I went to school early with my gift. At that time, I was too naive

to believe in the existence of Santa Claus, and believe in it. I show the gift

to you, also proudly said: "Teacher, I received a Santa Claus gift last night!"

You startled for a moment, but immediately with a kind of kindly tone said:

"This Santa Claus really exists!" Later, I just know, you in order not to let me

down, to help me continue this wonderful fantasy.

Teacher, do you still remember? In an exam, I didnt play well and only got

84 points. When I got this paper, I cried sadly. At this time, you called me to

your desk and encouraged me by saying, "Tingting, although you didnt do well in

this exam, it doesnt mean that you wont do well in the next exam. ! The

teacher believes you these questions you can do, is just a little careless, you

want to hurry to say goodbye to the paste oh..." Listening to the teachers

funny words, I immediately turned sad and happy, smile through tears. Teacher,

these words you may have forgotten, but I can forget, I forget you to my good,

you care about me, you to my every encouragement. They have been hidden in my

memory and will never be forgotten.

Teacher, when your every move, every word, I remember. Teacher, I will

graduate from primary school soon, but in those days your figure I how also

cant forget. Ah! Dear teacher, my first enlightenment teacher, how can I repay

you?

I wish you a

In good health, always smile

亲爱的王老师：

人们都说：老师是迷蒙中的一盏灯，照亮我们人生的道路;老师是一把钥匙，开启我们知识的大门;老师是黑夜中最耀眼的星星，让我们走上正确的道路……而您，就是让我走进数学殿堂里的一位指路人。

还记得，二年级时的我，脑子里常想着一些天马行空的事情。在一次圣诞节，我意外的收到了“圣诞老人”给我送来的礼物。全班同学都不相信真的有圣诞老人，唯独有我，我相信。第二天，我便早早的来到学校，还带着我的礼物。那时的我，实在是太天真了，竟然相信圣诞老人真的存在，并且深信不疑。我把礼物拿给您看，还得意扬扬的说：“老师，我昨天晚上收到圣诞老人的礼物了!”您当时怔了一下，但马上用一种慈祥的口气说：“这圣诞老人还真的存在呢!”后来，我才知道，您为了不让我失望，就帮我延续了这个美好的幻想。

老师您还记得吗?在一次考试中，我发挥失常，只考了84

分，当拿到这张试卷时，我伤心的哭了。这时，您把我叫到讲桌前，鼓励我说：“婷婷，这次考试你虽然没有考好，可是也不代表下一次考试也考不好啊?!老师相信你这些题你都会做，只是有些粗心，你要赶紧跟马糊说拜拜哦……”听着老师有趣的话语，我立刻转悲为喜，破涕为笑。老师，这些话您也许都已经忘了，但我可忘不了，我忘不了您对我的好，您对我的关心，您对我的每一次鼓励。它们已经藏在我的记忆深处，永不忘记。

老师，当年您的一举一动，一言一语，我都记着呢。老师，马上我就要小学毕业了，可当年您的身影我却怎么也忘不了。啊!亲爱的老师，我的第一位启蒙老师，我该怎样回报您呢?

祝您

身体健康，笑口常开

"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.

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.

圣诞节(Christmas)是西方传统节日，在每年12月25日。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。圣诞节是一个宗教节，因为把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，故名“耶诞节”。大部分的天主教教堂都会先在24日的平安夜，亦即12月25日凌晨举行子夜弥撒，而一些基督教会则会举行报佳音，然后在12月25日庆祝圣诞节;基督教的另一大分支——东正教的圣诞节庆则在每年的1月7日。

Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christs birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament.

The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians.

Many of these traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. The Mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-Marduk. Each year as winter arrived it was believed that Marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. To assist Marduk in his struggle the Mesopotamians held a festival for the New Year. This was Zagmuk, the New Years festival that lasted for 12 days.

The Persians and the Babylonians celebrated a similar festival called the Sacaea. Part of that celebration included the exchanging of places, the slaves would become the masters and the masters were to obey. The ancient Greeks held a festival similar to that of the Zagmuk/Sacaea festivals to assist their god Kronos who would battle the god Zeus and his Titans.

The Romans celebrated their god Saturn. Their festival was called Saturnalia which began the middle of December and ended January 1st. With cries of Jo Saturnalia! the celebration would include masquerades in the streets, big festive meals, visiting friends, and the exchange of good-luck gifts called Strenae (lucky fruits). The Romans decked their halls with garlands of laurel and green trees lit with candles. Again the masters and slaves would exchange places.

Jo Saturnalia! was a fun and festive time for the Romans, but the Christians thought it an abomination to honor the pagan god. The early Christians wanted to keep the birthday of their Christ child a solemn and religious holiday, not one of cheer and merriment as was the pagan Saturnalia.

Some legends claim that the Christian Christmas celebration was invented to compete against the pagan celebrations of December. The 25th was not only sacred to the Romans but also the Persians whose religion Mithraism was one of Christianitys main rivals at that time. The Church eventually was successful in taking the merriment, lights, and gifts from the Saturanilia festival and bringing them to the celebration of Christmas.

The exact day of the Christ childs birth has never been pinpointed. Traditions say that it has been celebrated since the year 98 AD. In 137 AD the Bishop of Rome ordered the birthday of the Christ Child celebrated as a solemn feast. In 350 AD another Bishop of Rome, Julius I, choose December 25th as the observance of Christmas.

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, Gabriel, 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 will bring 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 be delivered. And she brought 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.

And that, Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus, is on 25th, December every year. But nobody knows the actual birthday of Jesus. And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century.

The custom of giving gifts to relatives and friends on a special day in winter probably began in ancient Rome and northern Europe. In these regions, people gave each other small presents as part of their year-end celebrations.

In the 1800s, two more Christmas customs became popular--decorating Christmas trees and sending Christmas cards to relatives and friends. Many well-known Christmas carols, including Silent Night and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, were composed during this period. In the United States and other countries, Santa Claus replaced Saint Nicholas as the symbol of gift giving.

The word Xmas is sometimes used instead of Christmas. This tradition began in the early Christian church. In Greek, X is the first letter of Christs name. It was frequently used as a holy symbol.

This years Christmas, I am very interesting, I received a gift from Santa Claus gave me not only, but also made 11 yuan of money. And you share together.

December 24th is Christmas Eve, after school, I and ten students in the class by our mothers to tongzhou Simon high traffic place selling Christmas fruit, moms let us experience life, these children also have an unforgettable Christmas.

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。

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.

Dear teacher,

Time flies, sun and moon, now I have been in the sixth grade, looking back at those who have given us care and care of the teacher, they are still as kind. [] Teacher, you are a hard gardener, tirelessly cultivating the flowers of the motherland; Teacher, you are the disseminator of knowledge, to pass new knowledge to us; Teacher, you are like chalk, sacrifice themselves, to leave us knowledge, you are how great ah!

Teacher, without your careful cultivation, I could not have become a man of knowledge. You gave me the future. You want your students to be "better than blue" and have a bright future. Teacher, you regardless of their own fatigue to give us the day class, in the evening to prepare lesson plans, correcting homework, the rest of the time is very few. We students are ashamed of ourselves. As the saying goes, the profession of a teacher lies in "burning oneself, illuminating others", which is the so called contribution of every teacher to students.

Teacher, you are like an umbrella, in our need to you, you are always fearless to stand in front of us, for us shelter; When the weather is cold, you tell us to wrap up warmly so that we wont catch cold. When we cant do a certain problem, you will patiently explain to us, until we understand; When we need comfort, you always use the kind tone to comfort us?

Teacher, you are like the star in my heart. Winter to spring, although I have grown up, but the star is still in my heart shining bright, purify my heart, help me to find the secret of confidence and success, help me to find the truth.

Ah, teacher! You were our second parent, and For those few weeks, I felt your kindness and your comfort. The teachers love, like a warm current, always warm my heart, the teachers love, like a blazing flame to illuminate my learning future, I will never forget.

advance

Salute!

Student:

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 nativity or “birth” play, showing how jesus was born in a stable.

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-case or a sack 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, 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 holidays comes to an end.

12月25日是圣诞节。对许多男孩和女孩来说，这天是个非常开心的日子。在某些学校，学期结束前，孩子们会表演有关(耶稣)诞生或出生的戏剧，用来(向大家)展示耶稣是如何在马厩里出生的。

在12月24日这天，所有的小孩都很兴奋。他们常常被(父母)早早地赶上床去睡觉，以便他们的父母能准备好礼物。年幼一点的小孩认为圣诞老人将从烟囱或壁炉里下来，所以他们挂起袜子，方便圣诞老人把礼物放进去。有些贪心的人，为了能得到更多的礼物，甚至把枕套或布袋挂起来。晚一些时候，爸爸或妈妈将礼物放进袜子，并把其他礼物放在(孩子们的)床边。

圣诞节的早上，小孩们很早就醒来了。一些人甚至在凌晨两点开灯，但大多数小孩会在六点醒来，孩子们在(大人们)准备晚餐的时候玩耍。下午一点，圣诞大餐出炉了。火鸡或鸡腿总是很快被抢光。孩子们寻找着属于他们的圣诞布丁是为了确认金币是否有藏在里面。在剩余的时间里，(人们)便是玩游戏和吃食物直到最开心幸福的圣诞节结束。

以上YJBYS的小编为考生们收集了2015年中考(精选)英语作文素材：圣诞节试题

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.

Dear Miss Luo,

hello

A year has slipped away from our laughter between our eyes, and we should say goodbye to you. Although we only wanted to work for a short year, you left me a deeper impression than the foreign teacher who taught me for five years.

I used to think that Chinese class is a boring thing, but since I know you, I like Chinese class.

First of all, I think you love to encourage classmates. When I answer questions in class, if the answer is right, you will look at me with happy eyes and ask me to make persistent efforts. If I got it wrong, you encouraged me with a gentle voice and spoke to the whole class about my problem. Whether I am right or wrong, I feel happy.

Secondly, I think you are very earnest and meticulous in doing things. For example, when we borrowed arrows from the grass boat, you not only let us learn the surface meaning, but also took us to study the text deeply. To my surprise, you also let us listen to the pingshu, to stimulate the interest of the students, so that the students learn more practical.

You still love to delay, I used to think that it is to deprive me of time to play, but a long time I understand the love for us then, let us learn more knowledge.

Finally, I think you are very concerned about the students, once, there was no meal in the canteen, the students had to be hungry, but you did not ignore, but to invite them to eat noodles.

All in all, you are wonderful, admirable and unforgettable. It seems that this is the main reason that you are better than my original teacher!

I wish you success in your work!

Your students

Today is December 25, 2015. I am going to give the Christmas CARDS to my classmates in my schoolbag.

I dont know which classmate went to search my bag, the classmate of my schoolbag cried out: "wow. What a beautiful Christmas card." This voice has attracted many students. At the time, I was angry, but I felt that it was the happiest time to share Christmas with my classmates.

In the end, I distributed the Christmas CARDS to my classmates, and some also gave them to me.

Ah. Today is my happiest day.

今天是2015年12月25日，我准备送给同学们的圣诞卡还藏在书包里。

不知道哪位同学去搜我的书包的时候，搜我的书包的那个同学大叫一声：“哇。好漂亮的圣诞卡。”这一声，招引来了很多同学。当时，我很生气，但是我又觉得，和同学们一起分享圣诞节这个时候，是最快乐的时刻。

最后，我还是把圣诞卡分给了同学们，还有一些也送了给我。

啊。今天是我最快乐的一天。
