四年级圣诞节英语作文精选20篇

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。

On Christmas morning， the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two o‘clock， and most of them are awake by six o’clock 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 o‘clock 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.

在圣诞节的早晨，孩子们很早就起床。有些人甚至在两点钟的时候开灯，但大多数人还是在六点钟醒的，虽然在英国这个时间就算再过一两个小时也还没有天亮。

在准备晚宴的时候，孩子寻找自己的礼物，年轻的玩耍。在下午约一点钟的时候，圣诞晚餐开始。火鸡或鸡肉被迅速吃掉。孩子们在他们的圣诞布丁寻找哪个隐藏了新币。在一天剩下的时间都充满了游戏和吃的，直到最幸福的各个圣诞假期结束。

今天是美好的圣诞节平安夜。一放学，我就和同学一起蹦蹦跳跳地回家去。

一到家，爸爸就告诉我，今天和叔叔阿姨去外面的饭店吃饭，我听了,高兴得更加起劲的蹦了。不过妈妈还没回来，所以得等妈妈回家了一起去。

过了一会，妈妈回到家了,我就催着爸爸拉着妈妈出门去了。一路上,我看到今晚行人的脸上都洋溢着笑脸,给人一种详和,温馨的感觉.走到国际大厦的门口就感觉到一股暖流,玻璃门外寒风刺骨,推门进入温暖如春。大厦里的圣诞老人不停地向我们招手.圣诞树那翠绿的树枝上面挂满了千盏完盏五彩缤纷的彩灯.一闪一闪眨着闪亮的眼睛。

一进大厦,我就直奔2楼,西餐厅里回旋着一首圣诞歌,歌声悠扬,让心情舒畅.墙上挂者一张和蔼可亲的圣诞老人的照片。叔叔阿姨已经先到了，我和爸爸妈妈走过去，和他们打招呼，然后坐下来，大家好象是一个大家庭。

没过多长时间,那些美味可口的菜就来了。一见那香喷喷的鸭肉,我再也控制不住自己,狼吞虎咽地吃起来，等我吃完以后,贪玩的我和许多小朋友在国际大厦跑来跑去,跑上跑下,一会儿去看那和蔼可亲的圣诞老人,一会去看那些闪着五彩缤纷光芒的圣诞树，真是好玩极了。

我爱圣诞节!

the spring festival and christmas have much in common. Both are prepared to create a joyous atmosphere; both offer a family reunion with a square feast: and both satisfy the children with new clothes, lovely presents and delicious food. 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。

In Boston,carol singing festivities are famous.The singers are accompanied by hand bells.

In New Orleans,a huge ox is paraded around the streets decorated with holly and with ribbons tied to its horns.

In Arizona,the Mexican ritual called Las Posadas is kept up.This is a ritual procession and play representing the search of Mary and Joseph for a room at the inn.Families play the parts and visit each others houses enacting and re-enacting the drama and,at the same time,having a look at each familys crib.

In Hawaii,Christmas starts with the coming of the Christmas Tree Ship,which is a ship bringing a great load of Christmas fare.Santa Claus also arrives by boat.

In California,Santa Claus sweeps in on a surf board.

In America the traditional Christmas dinner is roast turkey with vegetables and sauces.For dessert it is rich,fruity Christmas pudding with brandy sauce.Mince pies,pastry cases filled with a mixture of chopped dried fruit.

The majority of Americans celebrate Christmas with the exchange of gifts and greetings and with family visits.For many,the day begins on Christmas Eve with the Midnight Mass.At Christmas it snows in many states,so dinner is usually eaten indoors.Dinner usually is roast turkey,goose,duck or ham served with cranberry sauce,then plum pudding or pumpkin pie followed by nuts and fruit.

The impression that Christmas is always so comfortable and pleasant. Impression of December completely without a harsh northern winter, there is only the warmth of spring. Open primary last bunch of plum blossoms, plum blossoms open in the festival should be open Christmas.

It comes every day, no matter who you are, always in disorder with plenty of cards on the table, filled with blessings of the statement. Distance is color crayon painting, accompanied by thick falling snow, gave Christmas pure and innocent. After school, the students all working in the stalls to buy ribbons, buy balloons, braved the snow goose feather decorated classrooms and walked every road sections.The loss of the dignity of the school past, replaced by gas rich Christmas.

给人的印象是，圣诞节总是那么舒适宜人。十二月的印象完全没有一个严酷的北方冬天，只有春天的温暖。开小学最后一束梅花，梅花开在节日应该开放圣诞节。

它每天都来，不管你是谁，总是在桌上有很多卡片，充满了祝福。远处是彩色蜡笔画，伴着厚厚的雪花，给了圣诞节纯洁无邪的感觉。放学后，同学们都在摊位上买丝带，买气球，冒着鹅毛装点的教室，走过每一个路段，失去了学校的尊严，取而代之的是富气的圣诞节。

从我上托儿所、幼儿园起一直到现在，教过我的老师有许多许多。但在这些老师中，最让我喜欢、令我难忘的，还是一年级时教我们英语的吴老师。因为她教英语，所以我们也叫她Miss Wu。

吴老师长得高高的、瘦瘦的，很年轻，脸上总带着微笑。她有着一头乌黑的长发，每天都带着一副眼镜。她对我们很好，从不打骂我们，就算我们在课上和她闹着玩，大叫、大笑、做鬼脸，她也只是笑笑，不会说我们什么。所以，我们都敢在她面前明目张胆地捣乱。

记得我一年级那年，有一次英语课时，吴老师正上的好好的呢，我们班的小尤突然离开座位，手里拿着一张纸屑，走向垃圾桶——原来小尤是要去扔垃圾啊。这时，全班同学的目光齐刷刷地落在了小尤的身上。吴老师看见了，并不像有些老师那样大发雷霆，而是微笑着说：小尤，你这样会让大家的注意力分散的，你看，大家都在看你，眼球都在跟着你动呢！不信，我们来做一次试验，看大家的眼球是不是在跟你动，好吗？小尤点点头，接着，她拿出一盒水彩笔，高高地举着，从座位上走了出来。我见了，眼球不由自主地跟着小尤动。我还故意把头一点一点的，小尤走一步，我就点一下。吴老师见了，指着我对全班同学说：你们看，我说的没错吧！顿时，大家的目光都落在了我身上。大家见我那滑稽的样子，情不自禁地大笑起来，整个教室一片混乱吴老师呢，不拍桌子，也不铁青着脸，大吼一声：安静！而是和我们一起笑。笑够了，就说一声：大家安静下来，我们继续上课！原本吵闹的教室就立刻安静了许多。我们喜欢她，怎么能不听她的话呢？

这就是我的吴老师。因为她，我越来越热爱英语。吴老师不但对我们好，而且使我热爱英语，我怎么能忘记她，怎么能不喜欢她，怎么能不认为她是我心中的好老师呢？

Dear Mr. Wang,

Hello!

Recently, our class held the "Beautiful Christmas Chorus Competition" activity, I was unable to participate in the school recitation team recording activity, so I feel very sorry.

Remember Monday, you asked the students: "these days there are two festivals - Christmas and New Years Day, which holiday do you want to celebrate? We happen to coincide with the selection of "Christmas", of course, this is also my favorite holiday, it can be seen that we love Christmas in particular. Although, the festival chose my favorite, but when the team leader, not so gratified. You let the students recommend, but for some reason, the students did not choose me. I think, if you can recommend yourself first, then let the students vote on it. Because only let the students recommend or vote, the recommended students may not want to be, while the equivalent students like me, but may not have the opportunity, do you think I said reasonable?

Teacher, in fact, this is a small matter, the most regrettable is not able to spend Christmas with my classmates. How I envied bu Qingyang the other day for his successful participation in the party! Do you know? That afternoon, during the rehearsal of the recitation team, we were absent-minded, dejected and extremely sad.

Teacher, in fact, I understand your work, you are also for our good, I just want to talk with you about my heart.

merry

The work is smooth
