春节是我国一个古老的节日，也是全年最重要的一个节日，如何庆祝这个节日，在千百年的历史发展中，形成了一些较为固定的风俗习惯，有许多还相传至今。春节前要扫陈，按民间的说法：因为“尘”与“陈”同音，新春扫尘有“除陈布新”的涵义，其用意是要把一切穷运、晦气统统扫出房外。

春节期间还要贴春联，春联也叫桃符，它以工整、对偶、简洁、精巧的文字描绘时代背景，抒发美好愿望。是我国特有的文学形式。每逢春节，无论是城市还是农村，家家户户都要选一幅大红春联贴于门上，增加节日的喜庆气氛。还要倒贴“福”字，意味着福倒(到)了的意思。除夕守岁是最重要的年俗活动之一。饺子一般要在大年三十晚上12点以前包好，待到半夜子时吃，这时正是农历正月初一的伊始。中国民间有“开门爆竹”一说。即在新的一年到来之际，家家户户开门的第一件事就是燃放爆竹，以“噼噼啪啪”的爆竹声除旧迎新。听了这些简要的介绍，大家应该对春节有了更深的了解了吧?

春节一般指正月初一，是一年的第一天，又叫阴历年，俗称“过年”;但在民间，传统意义上的春节是指从腊月的腊祭或腊月二十三或二十四的祭灶，一直到正月十九，其中以除夕和正月初一为高潮。在春节期间，中国的汉族和一些少数民族都要举行各种活动以示庆祝。

圣诞节(Christmas)又称耶诞节，译名为“基督弥撒”，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。

圣诞节也是西方世界以及其他很多地区的公共假日，例如：在亚洲的香港、澳门、马来西亚和新加坡。圣经实际上并无记载耶稣诞生日期，圣诞节是后人公定的。

过新年我最高兴做的事就是贴“春联”呢!“千门万户瞳瞳日总把新桃换旧符”妈妈特别吩咐我，让我去找几对春联，贴在我家门上。于是，我找到了两对春联，我大声读道：“喜居宝地千门旺福照家门万事兴”还有一幅上面写着：“春风春光春意正人喜人乐人自高”妈妈说春联都是吉祥话，是人们祈求在新得一年里能过上快乐幸福的日子。我们全家一起装饰屋子，在客厅里，我挂了一个红艳艳的小灯笼，爸爸又在别的屋子里挂了些五光十色的小彩灯，一闪一闪，一亮一亮，有的是小礼物形的，有的是花骨朵形的，还有的带着细细的尖儿。它们有的红艳艳，红得像冬天的糖葫芦一样，有的黄澄澄，黄得像秋天的树叶一样，有的绿油油，绿得像夏天的小草一样，有的粉嘟嘟，粉得像春天的丁香花一样，屋里很美，我的准备工作终于结束了。

大年初一，我们就开始走东家串西家地拜年。拜年也可以为我们攒点压岁钱。先是向爷爷奶奶拜年，祝爷爷奶奶在新的一年里身体健康，万事如意。然后，爷爷奶奶就会说真乖，就开始拿压岁钱。

新年是我们小孩子最喜欢的节日了，因为新年不仅能吃年夜饭，还能拿压岁钱。不过，今年新年里让我最开心的就是那次小队活动了，它让我又一次体会到了助人为乐的快乐。

那次小队活动前刚下了一场大雪，于是我们就决定帮别人的车子除雪，在征得了同学妈妈的同意后，我们就开始行动了。

那天天气真是冷极了，但我们可顾不了那么多。这时，我们的小队长陶心盈就开始分工了：“唐宁珩，你和石雨卉，擦车子的前面，徐晨和张博纳擦车子的上面，陈飞宇和我一起擦车子的后面!”分好了工，我们都开开心心的去做自己的事情，我们一边擦还一边说说笑笑，很是高兴。

瞧!我们的队长陶心盈干的多起劲啊!只见她先用手把车子上的雪堆到一起，把它们扔到地上去，再用手指把车子缝隙里的雪擦干净。我想：我们的队长那么认真，我也应该向她学习!

终于把车子擦好了，同学的妈妈看见我们把车子擦的这么干净，就表扬我们道：“哇!你们真是一群助人为乐的好孩子呀!”虽然我们的手和脸被冻得通红，但我们一点也不觉得冷，反而心里像吃了蜜一样甜，

我们如果从身边的小事做起，助人为乐，尊老爱幼，那么我们的社会将会变的更美好!

There are a lot of valid, rich and colorful legends about the origin of the Lunar New Year. They can be traced to thousands of years ago, among which the most famous one is the legend of Monster Nian. Monster Nian was a cruel wild animal. Ancient people believed that Monster Nian would come out to eat people on New Year’s Eve. It was said that Monster Nian was afraid of red, fire and noise. In order to repel it, people would put the red notes on doors and keep the torch alight all night as well as set off firecrackers. Early next morning, people greeted each other. The air was filled with the victory and the rebirth joy.

农历新年的来源，有根据。丰富而多彩的传说，可追溯到几千年前。其中，最有名的就是“年兽”的传说。“年兽”是一只残忍凶猛的野兽，古代人相信“年兽”在除夕夜时会出来吃人。传说“年兽”极惧怕红色、火光及吵杂的声音，于是人们就在门上贴著红纸条，并整夜点著火炬、燃放炮烛，来避开“年兽”。到了第二天一大早，“恭喜”之声不绝于耳，空气中弥漫著打败“年兽”胜利与重生的喜悦。

The long - awaited Spring Festival has come at last. In the evening our family had a reunion dinner together, and the family was happy. After dinner, mother washed. I was playing the "Torch" outside, dreaming that I was a torchbearer on the track.

At the time of the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, the family sat around the TV and listened to Song Zuyings pleasant voice, watching Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyangs funny comedy, the magic of Louis Lius performance. The family laughed and laughed, with a happy smile on his face. The most surprising thing was the magic of Louis Lius two coins. This magic made me puzzled. There was no way to solve it. I had to search the Internet for information. Although I knew that the magic was going to play tricks, I wanted to know what Louis Liu was using to make two coins penetrate the glass.

After looking up the information, I knew that Louis Liu was the first to get a magnet ring (Louis Liu wore a ring when it was performed). And then the magic begins. First let a person check, is a common coin, no doubt. At this time. The assistant reached the other side of the glass. Press the coin on the glass, and there is a magnet coin in the assistant sleeve. ) Liu Qian pressed the coins in their hands on the glass and hid the coins in their hands in their sleeves. At this time he has a hand, hand beat desktop instant, there are four, two after the rebound, carefully look at the thickness of the two times different. I didnt expect the magic to hide so many mysteries.

Well, not to say, tomorrow I have to get up early bed to visit the year, goodbye!

Chinese New Year starts with the New Moon（新月）on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon（满月）15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival（元宵节）, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.?

The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle（月运周期）is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese an extra month once every few years (seven years out of a 19-yearcycle). This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year （闰年）. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.

New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth（万物）, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.?

The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals（仪式）, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.?

The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Year’s Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove" or Weilu. It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations.

An important activity during the Spring Festival is bainian (to pay a New Year call). People start to pay New Year calls from the lunar New Years Day, that is, the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Ever since the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century, ordinary people have begun to exchange greeting cards on this day.

春节期间的重要活动是拜年。人们从农历新年，也就是，农历的第一个月的第一天就开始拜年了。自从十四世纪明朝开始普通人在这一天也开始交换贺卡。

On the morning of the lunar New Years Day, people get up very early and call on others. The earlier one does so, the more sincere he is. Moreover, people wear new clothes and a new cap, symbolizing that a new year has begun.

在农历新年的早上，人们起得很早拜访别人。越早越有诚意。此外，人们还会穿上新衣服，戴新帽，这象征着新的一年开始了。

The younger generation should call on their elders first, such as the grandfather, grandmother, father and mother, wishing them "Good health" and "Long life". Then the elders give children some money in a red envelope as a New Year gift. After that, people call on their relatives, friends and neighbors. As "big tangerine" is a homonym for "very lucky" in Chinese, so people often present red big tangerines as a gift while paying a New Year call.

年轻的一代去拜访他们的长辈，如爷爷，奶奶，爸爸，妈妈，祝他们“健康”、“长寿”。然后，长辈会给孩子们红包作为新年礼物。在那之后，人们给亲戚，朋友和邻居拜年。由于“大橘子”是“很幸运”的中文谐音，所以人们常常把红色大橘子作为拜年礼物。

Nowadays, besides greeting cards, people also use telephones and e-mails to pay New Year calls.

如今，除了贺卡，人们还用电话和电子邮件进行拜年。
