英语写圣诞节的作文（汇编20篇）

The Yan family in the distance:

Hello, its New Year again. How are you doing?

Our school has carried out club activities. I signed up for a small host

club. Learned a lot of knowledge, know how to maintain the state of the stage.

Today is December 25th, our school held a club performance. I was joined by Liu

Zhengyan, Lin Qinbaiken and Zhang Ruyu. Lin Qinbaiken held the team flag, which

I made with a piece of yellow cloth. Liu Zhengyan, Lin Qinqiang you must

remember, is the first grade with you behind the small minions. Xi Xi, Zhang

Ruyu you must also recognize! Last time we quarreled, it was Chang Ruyu, the

peacemaker, who pulled us apart

What impressed me most about the club activity was the bookmark and flower

made by ZS Creative Workshop. The bookmark was rolled up with paper, pasted with

white glue, and then formed a circle to become a flower

The flower is made with filar socks, but lifelike! When we go in, see these

flowers, the first reaction is: good beautiful real flowers! It was only when

chang, out of breath, stopped to tell us it was a lie that we realized. Ha ha!

Thats funny!

When can you come back and see us again, Yan family? We all miss you and

look forward to your return.

I wish you the best

Happy New Year!

Your forever friend: Yu Jiayu

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 mmany experiments took plaace 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!

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”。

I like Christmas, it is just like our Spring Festival. Maybe the Spring Festival is much more important and interesting than Christmas, but I like Christmas Day better.

I can imagine I am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. What a beautiful place! So we can also call Christmas “Snowy Lovely Day.” On Christmas Day, shops are red and green. There are so many Christmas cards, Christmas hats, Christmas dolls and many colourful things. So shops look very beautiful. We can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “Merry Christmas.” By the way, I think studying can also become much more interesting. Christmas is coming, it also means a new year will come. Let’s study harder to welcome the new year!

圣诞节的当天早晨我故意买了一棵圣诞树，买过圣诞树后我把它放在了我的桌兜里，下课了我把树立起来浇些怪怪水，希忘他早点开花。圣诞老人看到了茂盛的花把礼物塞到我的袜子里;下午我来到了班里看看我的圣诞树开花了吗?

Ah! Christmas morning! Children like to wake up early while its still dark and sneak into the living room to check the presents----find any with their name on it, shake them to guess whats inside, and then maybe theyll go back to bed and pretend they are still asleep when their parents come to wake them with a "Merry Christmas!"

But almost no one I know gets completely dressed or eats a regular breakfast first thing Christmas morning. They just put on a robe or wear their pajamas and go to see whats under the Christmas tree. Some Christian families have a tradition of reading the Bible story of Jesus birth. Maybe its to remind the children that Christmas is Jesus birthday.

Someone will begin to take the presents out from under the tree, see whose name is on the package, and then pass them around. Some families wait until all the presents have been given out before opening any of them, while others open each one as it comes to them. There are many "thank you" to the ones who gave the gifts, new clothes are tried on to see if they fit, and of course the most interesting toys will immediately be played with.

Usually among the Christmas gifts will be some especially delicious candy or cake or cookies which everyone tastes. These sweet things may be the only breakfast many people eat Christmas morning. After the gifts have been opened, the room will be tidied up except where the children are playing with their toys. Everyone will wash and get dressed for the day.

Some people may go to a Christmas morning church service around ten oclock if their church didnt have one on Christmas Eve. But most people will just watch TV. Well, most men will. The children may play outside or inside with their new toys, but the mothers will be in the kitchen preparing Christmas Dinner.

啊!圣诞节的早晨!孩子们喜欢早起,它仍然是黑暗和溜进客厅去检查礼物——找到任何与他们的名字,动摇他们猜里面有什么,然后他们可能会回到床上,假装他们是还在睡觉当他们的父母叫他们“圣诞快乐!”

但是我几乎没有人知道会完全打扮或吃普通的早餐圣诞节早晨的第一件事。他们只是穿上长袍或穿睡衣去看圣诞树下会有什么。一些基督教家庭的传统阅读圣经耶稣诞生的故事。也许是提醒孩子们,圣诞节是耶稣的生日。

有人会开始把礼物从树下,看到包装上是谁的名字,然后通过周围。一些家庭等到已经给所有的礼物之前打开其中任何一个,而其他人打开每一个涉及到他们。有很多“谢谢”的人给了礼物,新衣服试穿,看看是否合适,当然最有趣的玩具就会玩。

通常会在圣诞礼物一些特别美味的糖果、蛋糕或饼干,每个人的口味。这些甜食可能是唯一早餐很多人吃圣诞节的早晨。礼物被打开后,会整理房间除外孩子们玩他们的玩具。每个人都会洗干净,穿好衣服。

有些人可能会去一个圣诞节的早晨教堂服务大约10点钟如果他们的教会没有一个在圣诞前夜。但大多数人只会看电视。嗯,大多数人的意愿。孩子们可能会在外面玩或在他们的新玩具,但妈妈会在厨房里准备圣诞晚餐。

the holiday called christmas is an amalgam of many winter holidays from around the world. the name is designated as a celebration of the birth of jesus, although the date is not recorded in the bible, and people at that time did not place particular important on birth dates. scientists say the actual date was june 17th, 2bc because of the appearance of the star that beckoned the magi. december 25th was set as the date for christmas in the 4th century by pope julius i as an attempt to christianize midwinter pagan holidays such as solstice and saturnalia. customs such as bringing evergreens inside, eating fat-laden foods, and hanging lights are universal responses to the cold, dark winter season. some of the stranger christmas traditions are remnants of those older pagan holidays, and some have been changed over the centuries until their origins are hard to discern. others were just made up to boost business!

krampus st. nicholas, father christmas, or santa claus is the weirdest christmas tradition ever, but he is so well known and so well documented that his origins are beyond the scope of this particular post. as a tool to encourage good behavior in children, santa serves as the carrot, and krampus is the stick. krampus is the evil demon anti-santa, or maybe his evil twin. krampus night is celebrated on december 5th, the eve of st. nicholas day in austria and other parts of europe. people dress as krampus and roam the streets looking for someone to beat with a stick. since it is also a night for drinking, the beatings probably don’t hurt much.

圣诞节是全世界冬季节日的集合。之所以取名为圣诞节，是为着纪念耶稣的诞生，尽管《圣经中》并未记载耶稣诞生的具体日期，那个时期的人对出生日期也不甚重视。科学家说，具体日期实为公元前2年6月17日，因为为在那一天，昭示东方三博士的星星出现了。公元前4世纪，为了把一些冬至时期的异教徒节日（如冬至日和农神节）基督教化，教皇尤利西斯一世把12月25日定为基督诞生日。而一些传统，如在屋内摆置常绿树，吃油脂丰富的食物，挂小灯，则是在寒冷阴暗的冬季之时，人们的普遍做法。还有一些更为奇特习俗，是古老异教节日的遗留物；一些历经几个世纪后，变化颇大，已难以溯及其源头；另外一些则是受商业利益驱使而生。

(“krampus游行”是巴伐利亚地区和阿尔卑斯山其他一些地区的传统活动，每年12月前后举行。krampus是圣诞老人的原型——圣人尼古拉斯的助手，在当地的传说中，他肩背一个装着礼物的大袋子，手拿一根棍子，好孩子可以收到他的礼物，顽皮的孩子则会被棍子敲打。)

Evely nation has its own folk festivals. Those festivals give people a chance to be away from their regular work and everyday worries to enjoy themselves and to develop kindship and fiiendship. The spring festival is the chief holiday in china while christmas is the most important redletter day in the western world.

The spring festival and christmas have much in common. Both are prepared hefiorehand 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.

今天是圣诞节。天依旧是那么的冷，但阻止不了我盼望圣诞老爷爷给我送礼物的火辣的心。到了夜晚，家家户户都买了小礼物挂在五彩缤纷的圣诞树上，唯独我家没有。我的心好像被冷嗖嗖的风吹着。想起爸爸对我说的话——不要被这小小的困难所吓倒，要努力追寻。我想这个“困难”应该包括这先前的冷漠吧。我想有一整套的芭比娃娃，因为，我想美丽漂亮应该是许多女孩心中的梦吧。但我不是因为“它”而想要这一整套的芭比娃娃，是因为我多么想有他们的经历呀!想着想着，我就睡着了。再甜美的梦乡中，还是梦到了圣诞老爷爷给我送礼物的情景——圣诞老爷爷微笑着把我梦寐以求的圣诞礼物给了我后，对我说了一句话。这句话是“祝你圣诞节快乐!”说完后，圣诞老爷爷就驾着装满礼物的马车走了。醒来后，我并没有发现我想要的礼物，我笑了笑说;"也许圣诞老爷爷太忙了，没时间来给我送礼物了呢?"

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.

为了纪念耶稣大部分西方人都庆祝圣诞节作为他们的主要节日。在这段时间里，他们总是有好几天假，所以他们可以全身心的享受这个节日。小孩们经常与他们的朋友聚在一起。大人都忙着装饰他们的房子。他们还互相赠送明信片以及他们对彼此的祝福。 在街上，有很多圣诞老人在派送礼物给路人。超市里面的所有东西都在打折。所以，超市是最忙的地方。

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。

Dear Mr. X,

Hello!

You are the most respected teacher in my mind, although you are very strict, but you put your heart on us. You work from dawn to dusk, thinking about better teaching methods. You are like a candle, let me feel the infinite future of the bright, but burned themselves.

Trees cant grow without sunshine, rain and dew, only their selfless charity, will have a vibrant. The life of a flower is inseparable from the earth. With the nutrition provided by the earth, there will be a beautiful and moving flower. And our life, inseparable from the teacher, with your enthusiasm to help, with your inculcate, will have our healthy growth... Thank you so much, teacher! Shi-en is like a fish in water. In the past three years, you have taught us with great care. Every one of your epigrams is still vividly in my mind, which reminds me of a lot of things.

It is because of your education, we can have todays knowledge, will have todays such a talent to learn, it is because of your care, we these "flowers of the motherland" to healthy growth, it is because of your little teachings, we understand the truth of life. You are like a tree, we thrive under your shade. You give us care like a mother, let me feel very happy, let me have the interest of learning, let me feel that you give endless strength, let me feel that you are my rely on, let me feel inseparable from you. Teacher, our good grades cannot do without your hard education, our good grades cannot do without your careful cultivation. Every step forward is inseparable from your hard sweat.

Yes, sometimes you are very strict with us, and often strict with us, and often teach us, serious and responsible for us, even if we have a little mistake, you will find. But I know, you are for us to be able to better further study, so that we can have great achievements in the future.

For most western countries, Christmas Day is the biggest festival, and all

the people will have the long vacation, just as Spring Festival in China. With

the development of globalization, Christmas Day is celebrated by people around

the world. When the day comes, Christmas trees can be seen in many shops and

some products have the great discounts. One of the main reasons for people to

love Christmas is that they can get the great discounts from some products,

which saves them a lot of money. For American people, Christmas Day is the great

moment for the families to get together and enjoy the family hour, while for

some people they just treat it as the shopping day.
