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!

Salute!

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 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.

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)
