绚丽的圣诞树顶上赫然架着一个个闪闪发光的星星，围绕着一圈圈七彩的小铃铛和发光的彩灯，树下摆放着琳琅满目的礼物盒。墙上挂着精致的圣诞长青环，餐桌上的整整齐齐的蜡烛温暖而温馨，火鸡光看着就让人垂涎欲滴，小屋里还回荡着一阵一阵的欢笑声和歌声，在这温暖而舒适的小屋里，充满着喜庆的气氛。喧闹的大街，车水马龙的街道，到处人山人海，每个人的脸上都洋溢着过节的喜悦。说不定圣诞老人正在某一个角落，悄悄地窥探着。等孩子们睡熟睡时，乘着雪橇，迎着飘雪，带着他的好朋友——驯鹿从天而降，蹑手蹑脚的把孩子们心爱的礼物装进袜子里。这就是我心中的圣诞节。

如果圣诞老人送给我礼物，我希望他送给世界上的每个人一份爱心，关爱世界上的小动物们，珍惜世界上的每一条小生命。而不是用笼子去束缚它，它本应属于多姿多彩的大自然，我们应该让它自由自在地生活。

在中国,凡逢春节和其他的喜庆日子,人们总要燃放爆竹来表示庆贺.燃放爆竹可以说是中国民间一个十分重要的风俗习惯.

爆竹也叫"炮竹","爆仗","炮仗",平常人们更习惯叫"鞭炮",有大约2000多年的历史了.最早的爆竹叫"庭燎".是用竹竿一类的东西做成火炬,燃烧时发出噼噼啪啪的爆裂声,也叫"爆竿.

燃放爆竹风俗最早起因于驱鬼除邪,祈求一年的吉祥顺利.传说,有个叫做"山臊"的四角怪兽和恶鬼平常藏在深山,每隔365天便出来伤害人畜.这些无恶不做的坏东西害怕爆炸的声音和亮光.于是,每到岁末年首,人们就争着燃放鞭炮,用来驱赶"山臊"和恶鬼.

中国的唐代发明火药以后,人们便把火药放进竹筒,点燃后发出巨大的声音,这种爆竹叫做"爆竹筒".到了宋代,爆竹的制作方法改为把火药装进用纸卷成的筒里,名字也叫爆竹了.后来人们开始把许多小的炮仗用药线连接起来,成为"一发连百余响不绝"的鞭炮.讲究的鞭炮用红颜色的纸制作,鞭炮爆炸后,红屑满地,人称"满地红",表示吉利.随着发展,鞭炮的品种和色彩也由原来的单调发展得丰富多彩,有小鞭炮,电光雷,母子雷,射天炮,百头,千头鞭,甚至还有几万头长的鞭炮.

现在,随着人们环保意识的加强,燃放鞭炮的习俗在中国很多大城市中受到禁止.但是,聪明的中国人依然想出了其他热闹的庆祝节日的办法.

it’s a western holiday and it’s new to Chinese. Second, with the development of

the world, the mutual influence between China and the west makes it work. Last,

the merchants make great contribution to its popularity.

圣诞节是一年中西方最隆重的节日，因为那一天是耶稣诞生的日子，随着各国的友好交往，圣诞节传入我国，我们这里有一个叫(六合村)地方，那个村子大部分都是忠实的基督教徒，每年都要举行隆重的纪念仪式，圣诞节来临时家家户户都用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树，它是圣诞节的主要装饰品。在圣诞节这一天，村里的大人小孩就和过大年一样，穿新衣放鞭炮，满街张灯结彩，一片节日的气氛，好不热闹!

这几年，我们这里也开始过圣诞节了，现在各个商店里已经摆满了圣诞树，各种各样的圣诞礼物……

如今，圣诞将至。圣诞节在记忆的波涛中一天天临近，他总是弥撒着迷人的幽香，永远都是这样。每到冬天，人们都会不自觉地想起圣诞节。的确，圣诞节这个美好又布满幻想的节日，确实令我神往。我们总盼着这一天，一年一度的圣诞节早日到来。

Santa Claus was born in US in the 1860s he was named this as he had a white beard and a belly, so he was named Santa Claus as this was the Dutch word for St Nicholas, Sintaklaas. Although the Dutch had bought him with them in the 17th century, he did not become an important person at Christmas until the Novelist Washington Irving put him in a novel that he wrote in 1809. This first Santa Claus was still known as St. Nicholas, he did smoke a pipe, and fly around in a wagon without any reindeer, but he did not have his red suit or live at the North Pole, he did however bring presents to children every year.

In 1863 He was given the name Santa Claus and bore the red suit, pipe, and his reindeer and sleigh.

从12月24日于翌年1月6日为圣诞节节期。节日期间，各国基督教徒都举行隆重的纪念仪式。圣诞节本来是基督教徒的节日，由于人们格外重视，它便成为一个全民性的节日，是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日，可以和新年相提并论，类似我国过春节。

西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色，圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树。它是圣诞节的主要装饰品，用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花，还点燃着圣诞蜡烛。

红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人，他是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前，要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子，等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。在西方，扮演圣诞老人也是一种习俗。

各国圣诞节习俗：

英国：他们认为圣诞节必须吃得痛快。所以圣诞大餐极为丰富，包括猪肉、烤火鸡、圣诞布丁、圣诞碎肉饼......等等。家里每一个人都有一份礼物，连仆人也有，礼物都在圣诞节的早晨分赠。有时逢唱诗班逐门逐户唱圣诞歌时，他们也会被主人请进屋里，招待茶点或赠予小礼物。

法国：在圣诞节前夕都要到教堂参加午夜弥撒。弥撒后家人同往年长兄姐家中团聚共享圣诞餐，并分享一年来家中要事。偶有家人不和之事，亦常因圣诞欢聚而尽释前嫌，言归于好。故圣诞节在法国人眼中，视为仁慈和睦的日子。

意大利：在意大利，每逢圣诞节，大家都喜欢在家中安置一些关于耶稣诞生故事的模型。圣诞的前夕，家人团聚吃大餐，到午夜参加圣诞弥撒，然后大家去访问亲戚朋友，但只有小孩和老人得到礼物。在圣诞节意大利有一种好风俗，孩儿为感谢父母一年来的教养，会在未吃圣诞大餐前将他们的作文或诗歌，暗藏在餐巾、桌布或碟子里。吃完大餐后便将它取出朗读。

西班牙：该国的孩童常将鞋子放在窗口或门外，以接受圣诞礼物。在许多城市中，男孩子也常备有许多高级礼物，要送给美丽女子。“牛” 在圣诞节也受到最好的待遇。因当地有一传说：“耶稣降生时，曾有一只牛向他吐气，使他得到温暖”。

瑞典：在圣诞佳期中，瑞典人非常好客，每一个家庭不论贫富都欢迎朋友来访，甚至连陌生人都可以进来吃东西。他们将各样的食品都摆在桌上，任人自由选择。

瑞士：该国的圣诞老人穿白色长袍，戴假面具。它们往往由贫苦人装扮，成群结队向富人讨取食物和礼物，散队时才平分所得物。

丹麦：最先出版圣诞邮票的国家。这种圣诞邮票的发行是为筹措防痨经费。丹麦人寄圣诞贺卡、邮件，都喜欢贴这种邮票。

智利：该国在庆祝圣诞节时，必备一种“猴子尾巴”的冷饮。这种饮料是用咖啡、牛奶、鸡蛋、酒及已经发酵的葡萄制成。此饮品为何叫“猴子尾巴”已无人知晓。

挪威：在圣诞节前夕，家中每一份子就寝前需将鞋子由大到小排成一列。挪威人认为家人如此做可以在未来的一年里得到和睦与安宁。次日早晨，家人见面就互唱最喜爱的圣诞歌曲。

爱尔兰：该国的家庭在圣诞前夕，会将一支蜡烛或灯放在窗门架上，表示欢迎圣婴降生。

苏格兰：圣诞节前需将家中借来的物品一一归还原主。礼物是在新年的头一星期赠给小孩及仆人。

荷兰：该国人赠送圣诞礼物往往出人意外，礼物甚至会藏在布丁、羊肠里呢!

德国：圣诞树的发源国。基督徒的家里定会放置一颗美丽的圣诞树，圣诞饼亦多款且讲究。

美国：一个自由且多彩的国家，圣诞节是他们快乐狂欢的日子。美国的民族复杂，所以其庆祝方式常因移民的不同而有所差异。大部分室内都有别致的布置，门外悬挂着美艳的花环及绮丽的饰物。

梵谛冈：如果你想在世界最大的圣彼得教堂参加由教皇亲自主持的圣诞弥撒，虽然那里可容纳三万五千人但仍需预先定位。其圣诞弥撒大多在十二月二十五日零时举行，教皇坐在八个侍从抬着的轿子上穿过群众，一边向信徒们祝福一边走上祭坛。教皇着白袍外罩金黄色祭服，登上圣彼得大教堂的祭坛，以拉丁语念出祷告词。零时整，号角手吹响的喇叭，安放于大祭坛上的摇篮本被覆盖着。这时，圣婴耶稣身上的白布被徐徐除下了。教堂内的各国信徒眼眶里含着热泪，以各自的语言唱出悠扬的“平安夜”。世界各地的天主教徒均视前往圣彼得大教堂，亲谒教皇，受其祝福，为一生中最大的荣幸。

日本：虽然日本非基督教国家，但战后日本过圣诞节的风气十分风靡。原因之一与各大商家的促销有关。有的百货公司以圣诞树作装潢，在店内布置雪景，增加银色圣诞的气氛。各色茶店、夜总会、酒吧也都安置一株圣诞树以应景。十二月中旬各商店人山人海，大家为准备圣诞礼物赠送亲友而忙碌。善心人士亦趁机致赠礼品予东京室内五十二所肢体及心智障碍的儿童。

纽西兰：该国圣诞节有二周的假期。圣诞节前夕，家人朋友共聚一堂开“派对”庆祝。纽西兰的法律明文规定，庆祝圣诞需在家中举行，故酒楼、茶馆在下午六时一律打烊。普通商店营业时间最迟也只能到晚上九时为止。街上可见到穿着苏格兰短裙的乐队巡回演奏。

非洲摩洛哥：在摩洛哥，平时不与平民见面的王族，在圣诞节当天，公主会在数千儿童的同乐大会上给贫苦儿童发礼物。

波兰：波兰人分为两派。在圣诞前夕，一派吃圣诞大餐;另一派整日斋戒虔诚祈祷。

菲律宾：该国过圣诞节从十二月十六日就开始。做九天的祈求，虔诚的教徒每天早晨四时就起床祈祷。他们相信如此可得圣婴耶稣及圣母马利亚的特别恩泽，直到二十二日为止，在三天来朝日才结束圣诞庆典。

哥伦比亚：他们以化装舞会来庆祝圣诞。各人戴着假面具尽量不被人认出，凡能认出最多的人就可得到奖品。

澳大利亚：适婚年龄的女子，在圣诞节时将溶锡倾入冷水中，看它的形状，来预测未来夫婿的外貌，高矮胖瘦。

捷克：圣诞节未婚的捷克少女，把削好的苹果皮，抛在背后。她们以为这样做可以看出未来夫婿的姓氏之第一个字母。

苏联：圣诞前夕，家人围绕着象征“新岁的树”，给孩子讲述荒诞的老祖父拓荒故事。在圣诞节当天，中产阶级以下的人，争往大商店抢购礼物互赠亲友。

"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas"Have you heard that song? Yup! Its Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.

Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. Thats why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.

Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynskis house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.

As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a partys on!

Whats more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windowseverywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santas hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.

Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of things they wish "Santa"to give them for Christmas) for a long time. I didnt want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis were so kind to "force"me make one list as well (Mr. Stapczynski told me if I didnt make one he would chop off my legs). So I wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.

Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very interesting experience for me. The priest started the service reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.

Sometimes, the church choir would start singing. The atmosphere was very quiet and holy. Then there was a ceremony called "The Receiving Communion". People waited in line to "receive"a spoonful of food from the priest. It was a very special Christmas tradition. The food was made from bread and wine. The bread represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. After this ceremony, the priest had a speech. He reminded us not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, and let Jesus really live inside us--that is, to love the people around us wholeheartedly. I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this principle should be part of our lives. After the priest finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came: Christmas carols5. Christmas carols are songs that people sing at Christmas, such as "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night"and so on. Some were very merry, others sounded quite holy, but all of them were beautiful. I closed my eyes, and let all the peacefulness and happiness that were in the songs flow through me. What a feeling it was!

We went to sleep earlier that day for we had to get up early on Christmas Day to open our presents. Sure enough, when I was still half-way during a sweet dream, Stephen burst into my room and told me to get up and open presents. There were a huge pile of presents under the Christmas tree, and there was such a mysterious mist shrouding them that made me eager to see what they all were. So one by one, we went through all the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Stapczynski had bought me everything I had written on my Christmas list--and a lot more! I got music CDs, film DVDs, clothes, books I was very happy, and I didnt know how to express my appreciation for what they had done for me.

Stephen and Niko had gotten a lot of presents too, and they had already been trying out their new games!

In the afternoon, we went to Mrs. Stapczynskis brother, Uncle Stans house. They had prepared a marvelous meal for us. A lot of their friends and relatives also came. I saw Stephen and Nikos grandparents, Yiayia and Papou (words of grandma and grandpa in Greek--Mrs. Stapczynskis parents came from Greece, so they like the boys using Greek words to call them). They were very kind to me, and treated me just like one of their family members. We had a very luxurious meal, consisting of turkey, beef, pork, and all sorts of other food.

After the meal, when all the stomachs were full and everyone was feeling drowsy6 from all the food, we just sat around the table and chatted, just like what we Chinese people do at the Spring Festival. After all, Christmas, like the Spring Festival, is a time for us to get away from our busy lives, a time for family gathering, and a time to have some fun.

Christmas tree is one of the old traditionnal festival. Usually the people make around the Christmas an evergreen plant,as pine tree , with Christmas lamp and the colored widget decoration in the room or in the outdoors, at last,put an angel or the star on the top of the tree.

圣诞树(Christmas tree)是圣诞节庆祝中最有名的传统之一。通常人们在圣诞前后把一棵常绿植物如松树弄进屋里或者在户外，并用圣诞灯和彩色的装饰物装饰。并把一个天使或星星放在树的顶上。

The modern Christmas tree stems from Germany. The German in every year December 24, namely Adam and the Eve festival, arranges a fir tree (tree of the Garden of Eden)at home, hangs the thin biscuit in above, (mark which the symbolic sacramental wafer Christian makes reparations).In the modern times,small sweet cake in place of thin biscuit,and also often add candles which on symbolize of Christ.In addition, the indoor is also equipped with the Christmas tower, which is a lignin triangle structure, and has many small frame standards to lay aside the Christ statue. The tower body plays the part of by the evergreen branches and leaves, the candle and a star. To the 16th century, the Christmas tower and Garden of Eden tree merge to a Christmas tree.

近代圣诞树起源于德国。德国人于每年12月24日，即亚当和夏娃节，在家里布置一株枞树(伊甸园之树)，将薄饼乾挂在上面，象徵圣饼(基督徒赎罪的标记)。近代改用各式小甜饼代替圣饼，还常加上象徵基督的蜡烛。此外，室内还设有圣诞塔，是一木质的三角形结构，上有许多小架格放置基督雕像，塔身饰以常青树枝叶、蜡烛和一颗星。到16世纪，圣诞塔和伊甸园树合并为圣诞树。

圣诞节的由来：

“圣诞节”是“基督弥撒”的缩写，弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。圣诞节是一个宗教节日，因为这天恰是耶稣的诞辰，故而“圣诞节”又叫“耶诞节”。

关于耶稣的诞生，还有一段神奇的传说。据马太福音记载，耶稣是由童女玛利亚所生。据说，玛利亚被天使称为有福的女子，一日天使告诉玛利亚，圣灵要她以童女之身怀孕耶稣。她感到惊奇，问道：“我没有出嫁，怎么会怀孕呢?”

天使对她说：“圣灵要临到你身上，至高无上的圣灵荫庇你，你就会未婚而孕，你所生的圣者乃是上帝的儿子。”

接着，天使又以玛利亚的亲戚伊利莎白年老而怀孕为例，说明上帝要做的事，没有不可能的。果然就在这天夜里，圣灵与玛利亚梦中幽会，二人缠绵悱恻，行云雨之欢。次日，玛利亚去拜访伊利莎白询问未婚而孕之事。伊丽莎白告诉她圣灵所做之事，千真万确。不久玛利亚就感到自己腹中有胎儿跳动。这时玛利亚已与大卫家族的约瑟订婚，恰在这时，天使在梦中告诉约瑟：“不要因玛利亚未婚而孕就嫌弃她，你要马上与她成亲，她所怀的孩子是上帝的儿子，你给这个孩子起名‘耶稣’，他的使命就是把百姓从罪恶中拯救出来。”约瑟牢记天使的话，很快与玛利亚结婚。

当玛利亚快要临盆时，恰逢罗马政府下命令：全体臣民必须申报户籍。约瑟和玛利亚只好遵命，回到约瑟的家乡伯利恒申报户籍。当他们到达伯利恒时，天色已晚，二人没有找到旅馆，只好在一个马棚里歇息。就在这天夜里，玛利亚在马棚里生下了耶稣，并将他放在马槽内。后来，人们为了纪念耶稣的诞生，便定12月25日为圣诞节，年年这天做弥撒，以纪念耶稣的诞辰。

每年的12月25日，全世界所有的基督教徒都会举行特别的礼拜仪式，用以纪念耶稣的诞生。不过，后来的很多圣诞节活动和宗教几乎没有半点联系，而是一种单纯的娱乐活动。诸如交换礼物，寄圣诞卡，所有这些，都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子。

其实，教会开始并无圣诞节，是耶稣诞生后逐渐形成的。据说第一个圣诞节是在138年，由罗马主教圣克里门倡议举行的，而教会史中却又记载第一个圣诞节是336年举行的，直到440年，才由罗马教廷确定12月25日为圣诞节。

1607年，世界各地教会领袖在伯利恒聚会，进一步确定圣诞节的日期为12月25日。从此世界上大多数基督徒都以12月25日为圣诞节。由于耶稣生于午夜，故又称12月24日之夜为“圣诞夜”或“平安夜”。

圣诞节的习俗，西方各国有异，择其要者介绍如下：

在法国，每年圣诞节前后，法国中部的色日尔斯必降大雪，白雪皑皑，空气清新。在西方人眼里，白色是圣洁的象征，白色是一种吉祥，故而人们爱过过“白色圣诞”。

相传耶稣是在马槽旁边诞生的，故而马槽成为最富特色的圣诞标志。人们在马槽周围，兴高采烈地唱唱“圣诞歌”，之后开怀畅饮，而香槟和白兰地则是法国人传统的圣诞美酒。

在芬兰，圣诞节前后，恰逢紫罗兰盛开，漫山遍野的紫罗兰，掩映在白色的大地上，放眼望去，一片紫红色，令人心旷神怡，所以芬兰人爱过“紫色圣诞”。

英国人和德国人，喜欢在圣诞节喝啤酒，吃烤鹅，还有许多人利用圣诞节外出旅游。

美国人，圣诞节时着重家庭布置，比如装饰圣诞树，在袜子中塞满礼物，吃以火鸡为主的圣诞大菜，举行家庭舞会等等。

瑞士人，早在圣诞节前4个星期，就将4支巨型蜡烛点燃，放在由树枝装饰成的一个大环里，每周点燃1支蜡烛，当点燃第4支蜡烛后，圣诞节就到了。

澳大利亚地理位置特殊，它处于南半球，正当西欧各国在寒风呼啸中欢度圣诞节时，这儿却是热不可耐的炎热夏季。因此，在澳大利亚，圣诞节时到处是汗水淋漓的小伙子和穿着超短裙的姑娘，恰与商店橱窗里精心布置的冬日雪景、挂满雪花的圣诞树和穿着红棉袄的圣诞老人，这种酷暑和严冬景象的强烈对比，在西方国家是独一无二的。

在圣诞节这天，父母给子女最好的圣诞礼物，莫过于一副小水划。圣诞节弄潮是澳大利亚人的一大特征。节日晚上，他们带着饮料到森林里举行“巴别居”野餐。人们在石头垒成的露天灶中用枯树枝生火，上面架上铁板，把香肠、牛肉、鲜鱼等放上去煎。酒足饭饱之后，就兴高采烈地跳起“迪斯科”或“袋鼠舞”，一直欢闹到深夜。喝醉了的人们，便往草地上一躺，在如雷的鼾声中迎接圣诞老人的莅临。

在波兰，每年12月25日、26日，家家户户都要装饰圣诞树。节日里亲朋好友之间相互祝贺，互赠礼品。晚餐时桌布下边还要放一些草，以示耶稣的诞生。晚餐虽很丰盛，但没有鱼肉。午夜12时之后，全家人就去教堂礼拜。之外，波兰人在圣诞节期间，除主人盛情邀请外，一般不到朋友家做客。

圣诞袜的传说：

在很久以前，有一位心地善良的贵族，他的妻子病逝后抛下他和三个女儿。这个贵族爱搞发明创造，结果都失败了，因此耗尽了家产，他们不得不搬到一家农舍居住，三个女儿也只得自食其力，亲自下厨烧煮，缝纫衣服，打扫房间庭院，父女四人相依为命，艰难度日。

一晃几年过去了，三个女儿相继到了出嫁的年龄，他无能为力给女儿们置办一套像样的嫁妆，因而寝食不安，郁郁不欢。

一天晚上，女儿们洗完衣服之后，随即将长统袜挂在壁炉前烘干。圣诞老人得知她们父亲的窘境后，就在这天晚上，他来到她们家里，从窗口看到一家人都已熟睡，并注意到女孩们的长统袜。随即，他从口袋里掏出三小包黄金，从烟囱上一个个投下去，刚好掉在女孩们的长统袜里。

第二天早上，女儿们醒来发现她们的长统袜里装满了金子，这些金子足够供她们买嫁妆了。这个贵族用这些金子为女儿置办嫁妆，他亲眼看到女儿们结婚，从此过上了幸福快乐的生活。后来，世界各地的孩子们都继承了悬挂圣诞袜的传统，法国的孩子们则将鞋子放在壁炉旁。

改革开放以来，西方节日习俗不断传入我国，国人尤其是青年人，也开始过起洋节了，其中圣诞节最为隆重，超市里圣诞礼物热销，商品减价促销，好不热闹!

Dear teacher,

Hello!

In our life, since childhood, we have received the educational grace of our parents, now, we are receiving the educational grace of our teachers.

Teachers, hard gardener, all the time for our sake, and you are one of them. You and other teachers, three feet of the podium, a piece of chalk, do not know how much knowledge for us to write down. Chalk foam dyed your hair white, winter to spring, you in this small platform, do not know how many students.

I remember when I was just in junior high school, you led our class to teach us Chinese, but our classs Chinese score was not good, so I was afraid of Chinese class. Every class, I will be a person silently hiding in the corner. A few days later, you spotted me and called me to your office. At this point, the school is over and you are the only one left in the office. You kindly said to me: "my child, learning is an essential part of the way of life. It is by studying that you can acquire knowledge. But knowledge has the power to change everything. You must study if you want to grow up and get out of this backward village. And Chinese, is our mother tongue, is our root. We are all descendants of the Chinese people and should carry forward our mother tongue." I hung my head in shame. "Chinese is an essential part of learning. In fact, Chinese is not difficult to learn, as long as you carefully observe everything around you, usually pay more attention to accumulation, you will improve: you go back to think about it. Say that finish, let me hurry home.

As I trudged out of the office, I looked through the window and saw that you were still correcting our homework. The red marks on the exercise book all show your diligence and hard work. Since then, I will study hard Chinese, carefully observe the things around me, listen carefully in class. When you saw this, you finally smiled. This smile, like the sun, warms me and makes me work harder.

You are no longer teaching me, but you have taught me the most profound lesson. I will never forget you. I will never forget your back as you corrected your homework under the light. I will never forget the time when we studied together, the help you gave me.

Teacher, it is you who taught me Thanksgiving and taught me knowledge. I will always grow up with a grateful heart.

Wish: good luck in everything and good health.

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.
