Christmas Day is on December 25th, though it originated in the western

country, now it is popular around the world. In China, people will spend that

day happily, they will eat apples on Christmas Eve, the children will put the

socks so that they could get the presents from Santa Claus. When I went to

college, I had an unforgettable memory about my first Christmas Day.

As my major is English, I have many foreign teachers, so that I could have

access to the local culture from them. Christmas Day is a big day for them, when

the day came, they asked us to spend the day with them, because most of them

left home and did not have families around. My classmates and I went to the

foreign teacher’s home at that day, we brought some presents, when we arrived at

his house, we found a beautiful tree with shinning lights. My teachers taught us

how to cook all the cookies, we were having such great fun. I made the cookies

with many favors. We talked happily and sung Christmas songs.

I learned how the foreign people spend their big day, it was such

unforgettable for me.

Christmas comes, sending gifts is the most let a person headache problem, is also a problem in desperation. Bad condition, the total white to other peoples gift. I really dont understand, those who havent economic source of the students how to spend money to show off, is to set up for later make social relationships or just to show off?

For Id rather you to the restaurant to eat a meal together, and then accounts to split, then who will want to show off, also feel happy.

Gifts have high and low, the so-called love hurt money talk.

Feelings can be measured with money.

In the present, money and feelings are not breaking up, no one will be to a dinner party and their own experience of diamond, you will not give the difference between life and death a piece of chocolate.

I hope next year Christmas can live easily

圣诞节来临,送礼物是最最让人头痛的问题,也是很出于无奈的问题。人情事故,总不好白要了别人的礼物。我实在不明白,那些还没有经济来源的学生怎么这么舍得花钱卖弄人情,是想借此为以后闯荡社会铺好人际关系还是只为了炫耀自己?

对于我,倒是宁愿大家一齐到餐馆吃一顿,然后帐目平分,到那时谁还想要炫耀自己的话,倒也其乐融融。

礼物也有高低贵贱,即所谓谈情伤钱。

感情是可以用钱来衡量的。

在当下,钱与感情是不分家的,没有人会送给只和自己经历一顿饭局的人钻石的,你也不会送给生死之交一块巧克力吧。

希望明年圣诞节可以活的轻松

However, the chinese spring festival has no religious background while christmas has something to do with god and there is santa claus with white heard to bring children presents. The westerners send each other christmas cards for greetings while the chinese people pay a call on each other.

nowadays, some of the chinese youth has begun to celebrate christmas, following the example of the westerners. Perhaps they do so just for fun and out of curiosity.

春节和圣诞节有许多共同点。两个都准备营造一种欢乐的气氛;两个都提供一个团圆的家庭宴会,既满足了孩子们的新衣服,可爱的礼物和美味的食物。然而,中国的春节没有宗教背景,而圣诞节与上帝有关系,而圣诞老人则带着白色的礼物给孩子们带来礼物。西方人互相送圣诞卡问候,而中国人互相打电话。

如今,一些中国青年已经开始庆祝圣诞节,以西方人为榜样。也许他们这样做只是为了好玩,出于好奇。

篇14:圣诞节英语作文:The Christmas Tree

全文共 3450 字

+ 加入清单

Although it is generally agreed that the Christmas tree in its current form came from Germany in the early 19th century, the tradition of decorating a tree to mark winter celebrations dates back hundreds of years to Roman times, when they used to decorate evergreen trees with small pieces of metal to celebrate Saturnalia.

In medieval times the Paradise Play was performed every year on 24 December. This depicted the creation of Man and the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and always included an evergreen hung with apples which represented the apple tree of temptation.

There is a legend that St Boniface, an English monk, came upon a group of pagans gathered around an oak tree who were preparing to sacrifice a child to the God Thor. In order to stop the sacrifice, and save the childs life, St Boniface is said to have felled the tree with one blow of his fist. Later on, a fir tree grew in place of the oak and this, St Boniface told the pagans, was the Tree of Life and represented the Christ Child.

Legend also suggests that, in the late 16th century, Martin Luther (the founder of the Protestant religion) was the first to decorate an indoor tree with candles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest of evergreens.

The first mention of decorated trees being taken indoors came in 1605 in Germany - a country with a long Christmas tree history! The trees were initially decorated with fruit and sweets together with hand made objects such as quilled snowflakes and stars. German Christmas Markets began to sell shaped gingerbreads and wax ornaments which people bought as souvenirs of the fair and took home to hang on their tree.

Tinsel was also invented in Germany in about 1610. Up until fairly recently real silver was used, which was pulled into wafer thin strips by special machines. This was durable but tarnished quickly and many experiments took place to try and find an alternative - including a mix of lead and tin, which was too heavy and kept breaking. It was only in the mid 20th century that a viable alternative was found.

Artificial trees were invented in the 1880s in a bid to try and stop some of the damage being caused to real trees due to people lopping the tip off large trees, thus preventing the trees from growing any further. It got so bad in Germany that laws had to be brought in to prevent people having more than one tree.

Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles, sweets, fruit and gingerbread.

The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century, with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells, baubles and tinsel. However, the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small, artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations. These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war, and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas. The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square, London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war.

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)

Land must be in my, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, he is in the care of people, make people safe every day. But one day I only take care of people, but people like me, I also feel unfair! Christmas now much better than before Christmas old woman when the old woman, because before Christmas when the old woman to climb the chimney, always climb the full head big sweat, but may I sit in a hot air balloon, without the effort can easily throw a gift to the chimney! Many animals hibernate to, but I was with you is different.

Christmas is a time for every child, most looking forward to a day, and at this time because only once a year, so is particularly important. I also wish to take this opportunity to express heartfelt blessing each kid, merry Christmas!

圣诞夜里,总能听到小朋友的许愿声。有的声音像可爱的小猫,希望圣诞老人赐给自己,幸福与快乐;有的声音像快乐的小天使,希望能度过快乐的圣诞节;有的声音像音乐般,好听又轻快。

假如我是圣诞老婆婆,我要坐上热汽球,送给每位小朋友精美的礼物。”铛!铛!铛!”十二点的钟声响起,小朋友也都进入了甜美的梦乡。当我看到他们甜甜的微笑,自己也不由笑了起来。虽然穿着喜气洋洋的红色衣服,黑色的腰带,显现出圣诞节的气氛,但如山的礼物,像一头大象,快要把我压垮了

土地公一定在我,他一年三百六十五天,都在照顾人们,让人们天天平安。但我只照顾人们一天而已,但人们却比较喜欢我,我也感都不公平啊!现在的圣诞老婆婆比以前的圣诞老婆婆好当多了,因为以前的圣诞老婆婆爬烟囱时,总是爬的满头大汗,但我可以坐在热气球里,不用花费力气轻而易举就可以把礼物丢到烟囱里呢!许多动物都要冬眠,但我却跟大家与众不同。

圣诞节是每位小朋友,最期待的一天,也因为一年只有一次所以这个日子,所以得特别重要。我也要衷心的祝福每位小朋友,圣诞快乐!
