“追求完美的偶像万万岁，才华洋溢的偶像万万岁，十八般武艺每一样都要学，会变魔术又会耍炫。”圣诞联欢会就这样在欢声笑语中落下了帷幕。回想起冀宇童她们精心布置的场景，历历在目……那么，就让我们再在一起回味无穷吧!

下午，当我们每个人都走进这间别具一格的教室时，当每个人都激动万分时，当教室里变得热火朝天时，这个“圣诞联欢会”就正式拉开了帷幕。

大家摩拳擦掌，跃跃欲试。一个个搞笑、动听、令我们心情愉悦的节目都令我记忆犹新。我们共同演唱了《逆战》、《爸爸去哪儿》、《我相信》等歌曲;分别表演了形态各异的节目，而最令我喜爱的一个节目，便是吴安迪与乔欣然表演的搞笑小品——《问题不少》。这个小品令我们哄堂大笑，一句句经典台词令我们回味无穷，津津乐道!

而我这位“观众”也变成了“表演者”。与吴安迪、乔欣然和冀宇童共同演唱了TimeZ的《偶像万万岁》。也成为了最后一个压轴表演!

Mid-autumn day is a special festival in China, which is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the 15th day of Augustlunar month every year. Our Chinese will celebrate it on that day. I think there are not too many people can reject the temptation of it. I like this festival very much. I have two reasons.

First of all, Mid-autumn has the deep meaning of reunion. In China, people regard Mid-autumn day as very important, so no matter where they are, they will come back to their family if there is a chance. They don’t like celebrate this festival outside, which will make them feel lonely. Thus, they will go home by all means. Luckily, the government also pays great attention to this traditional festival. There are laws tomake sure people have holidays on that special day. In the other word, mid-autumn festival gives a chance for family get together.

Secondly, every family will prepare a big meal on that day. All the food is delicious. It is good to have a big meal. I think nobody will not interested in delicious food. The mooncake is a necessary decoration forMid-autumn day. It tastes good, too. It is the tradition for a long time. How pleased to enjoy the glorious full moon with mooncake!

This is why I love Mid-autumn festival so much.

Notes：

christmas is one of the most important celebrations of the year for the western countries. it falls on the twenty- fifth of december and has the same importance as chinese new year to people with english backgrounds. the celebration is for the birth of jesus christ, who is the son of god in christianity. now days christmas is no longer only celebrated by the christians, but by most people from all over the world.

on the twenty- fourth of december everyone gets excited for it’s the day before christmas which is called christmas eve. the children are usually sent to bed early and are warned that “santa claus will only come and give you a present if you be good.” the younger kids actually believe that santa will come down the chimney on the sleigh that’s pulled by his reindeers. food like short bread and beer are prepared for santa when he comes, however most times parents just eat them. some children put socks and sacks up for the holding of the presents (that their parents put in).

rise and shine on christmas morning! the children are always the first ones to wake up, some even do at four. present wrappers everywhere! they look into their presents with a big smile on their face and oh dear….i hope no one’s disappointed. i feel sorry for anyone that got pink underwear. children play while dinner is prepared by the adults. the christmas dinner are usually eaten together by relatives. the tradition of christmas pudding and roosters are usually eaten with deserts afterwards. the rest of the day is usually games and fun before the good days all come to an end.

i wish everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year!!!

各国圣诞节习俗,圣诞节虽然已被咱热热闹闹地过了多年，但毕竟此节乃“舶”来之节，值此圣诞节将至之时，就让我们先去与圣诞素有渊源的国家观摩一下，,看看世界各国圣诞节习俗与趣闻，预热一下圣诞的热烈气氛吧!

各国圣诞节习俗之澳大利亚

圣诞节弄潮是澳大利亚的一大特征。父母给子女最好的圣诞礼物，莫过于一副小水划。节日晚上，带着饮料到森林里举行“巴别居”野餐。人们在用石头垒的露天灶中用枯树枝生火，上面架一块铁板，把香肠、牛肉、鲜鱼等放上去煎。吃饱喝足后，就跳起“迪斯科”或“袋鼠舞”，一直闹到深夜才结束。

各国圣诞节习俗之波兰

在波兰，每年12月25日、26日举行圣诞庆祝活动，家家户户都要装饰圣诞树，大街小巷都有圣诞树上的装饰品出卖。节日里亲友之间相互祝贺，互赠礼品，表示友好。晚间吃饭时桌布下边要放一些草，以示耶稣的降生。晚饭很丰富，但不能吃肉。夜间十二点后，全家去教堂礼拜。圣诞节期间，一般不到别人家中作客，但主人盛情邀请者例外。

各国圣诞节习俗之法国

在法国，马槽是最富有特色的圣诞标志，因为相传耶稣是诞生在马槽旁的。人们大唱颂赞耶稣的圣诞歌之后，必须开怀畅饮，香槟和白兰地是法国传统的圣诞美酒。

各国圣诞节习俗之德国

在德国，一向比较严谨的德国人都要开怀畅饮啤酒或白葡萄酒，吃甜食、酸食、酸猪蹄、啤酒烩牛肉、奶制品和各种生菜。德国每一个信奉耶稣的家庭，都有一株圣诞树，圣诞树是在德国最先有的。德国人对于制作圣诞节饼是很讲究的。饼有很多款式，在亲友之间，彼此均有赠送。

各国圣诞节习俗之保加利亚

据保加利亚的历法，圣诞节是灵魂出没、妖邪猖狂的日子。因此，人们要借助火来驱妖镇邪。圣诞节前夜，家家都燃起火堆，一直燃到天亮，不得熄灭，否则会招来横祸。由男人取圣诞木点火进屋并高声念道：“圣诞节降临，牛、羊、猪、马长满圈，麦苗出满垅，人人走好运。”在屋里等候的人则齐声回答：“阿门!”

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)

Christmas is a Christian holiday held on December 25 which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Eastern Orthodox Churches, which use the Julian Calendar to determine feast days, celebrate on January 7 by the Gregorian Calendar. Both dates are merely traditional and neither is thought to be the actual birthdate of Jesus. Christs birth, or nativity, is said to fulfill Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming of a messiah, or savior.

The word Christmas is derived Middle English Christemasse and from Old English Cristes m?sse.[1] It is a contraction meaning "Christs mass". The name of the holiday is often shortened to Xmas because Roman letter "X" resembles the Greek letter (chi), an abbreviation for Christ .

In Western countries, Christmas has become the most economically significant holiday of the year. The popularity of Christmas can be traced in part to its status as a winter festival. Many cultures have their most important holiday in winter because there is less agricultural work to do at this time. Examples of winter festivals that are believed by some to have influenced Christmas include the pre-Christian festivals of Yule and Saturnalia.

In Western culture, the holiday is characterized by the exchange of gifts among friends and family members, some of the gifts being attributed to Santa Claus (also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Father Frost). However, various local and regional Christmas traditions are still practiced, despite the widespread influence of American, British and Australian Christmas motifs disseminated by film, popular literature, television, and other media.

每年的端午节我们都要吃粽子、赛龙舟、悬艾叶、我最喜欢看赛龙舟的比赛了，这比赛并不是为了争谁第一水第二，是为了在观众面前展示他们娴熟的技能与美好的姿态。

We will eat dumplings, dragon boat race, hanging mugwort leaf, the annual Dragon Boat Festival, I most like to watch dragon boat racing game, the game is not to argue over who first water second, in order to demonstrate their skills and good attitude in front of the audience.

我先来说说粽子吧。粽子是用墨绿色的芦叶包裹着糯米和枣子。煮熟后，剥开芦叶，只见米团里仿佛镶着几颗深红油亮的玛瑙，很好看。粽子的的味道美极了，芦叶散发着清香，咬一口粽子，甜而不腻。

Let me first talk about dumplings. Dumplings are made of dark green reed leaf wrapped glutinous rice and dates. Cooked, peeled reed leaves, I saw the M group with a few red and shiny like agate, very nice. Dumplings are delicious, reed leaf fragrance, a bite of rice dumplings, sweet but not greasy.

粽子还有一个悠久的故事。传说吃粽子是为了纪念古代诗人屈原。屈原一生写过许多着名的诗篇，提出过许多爱国的政治主张，但是君王不采纳。后来君王沦丧，他满怀忧愤跳江自尽。人民还念他，崇敬他。两千多年来，人们把粽子投入江中，当做献给诗人的祭品。——这就是粽子的由来。是的，每逢端午节，人们怎么会忘记伟大的诗人屈原呢?

Rice also had a long story. Legend eat dumplings is to commemorate the ancient poet Qu Yuan. Throughout his life Qu Yuan wrote many famous poems, put forward many patriotic political views, but the king does not accept. Then the king had fallen, he was full of anger jumped into the river. People miss him, worship him. Over the past two thousand years, people threw rice dumplings into the river, as for poets. -- this is the origin of rice dumplings. Yes, during the Dragon Boat Festival, how can people forget the great poet Qu Yuan?

民谚说：“清明插柳，端午插艾”。在端午节，人们把插艾和菖蒲作为重要内容之一。家家都洒扫庭除，以菖蒲、艾条插于门眉，悬于堂中。并用菖蒲、艾叶、榴花、蒜头、龙船花，制成人形或虎形，称为艾人、艾虎;制成花环、佩饰，美丽芬芳，妇人争相佩戴，用以驱瘴。

Proverb said: "Ching Ming inserted Liu, Dragon Boat inserted AI". During the Dragon Boat Festival, people put the mugwort and calamus as one of important content. Everybody sasao addition, calamus, AI inserted in the door eyebrow, hanging in the hall. And calamus, Wormwood Leaves, pomegranate, garlic, Ixora, make humanoid or tiger shaped, called AI, Ai Hu; made garlands, accessories, beauty and fragrance, woman eager to wear, to drive malaria.

艾，又名家艾、艾蒿。它的茎、叶都含有挥发性芳香油。它所产生的奇特芳香，可驱蚊蝇、虫蚁，净化空气。中医学上以艾入药，有理气血、暖子宫、祛寒湿的功能。将艾叶加工成“艾绒”，是灸法治病的重要药材。

Ai Ai, and famous expert, mugwort. It stems, leaves contain volatile aromatic oil. It produces strange aroma, mosquitoes flies, ants, air purification. Traditional Chinese medicine with AI medicine, rational Qi and blood, warm uterus, dispelling dampness function. The leaves will be processed into moxa ", is an important medicinal moxibustion treatment.

Christmas is the wests most grand holiday of the year, because that day was the day of the birth of Jesus, as countries friendly exchanges, Christmas was introduced into our country, we have a place called (liuhe village), the village most of them are faithful christians, grand ceremony is held every year, Christmas comes every household is decorated with Christmas colors. Red with Christmas flowers and Christmas candles. Green is the Christmas tree, it is the main Christmas decorations. On Christmas day, the adult children in the village like holidays, set off firecrackers to wear new clothes, decorating, streets, a festive atmosphere, very lively!

In recent years, we here also began to Christmas, now each store is filled with the Christmas tree, various kinds of Christmas gifts...

Nowadays, Christmas is coming. Christmas day by day in memory of the waves near, he always mass with charming fragrance, will always be so. Every winter, people will unconsciously think of Christmas. Indeed, this beautiful and be full of fantasy Christmas holiday, really appeal to me. We are always looking forward to this day, the annual Christmas day coming soon.

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。

这个节日的由来逝代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

由於对屈原的爱戴，汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原，并且将米丢入汨罗江中，以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然被人们传颂纪念著。

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man，but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court.

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor，in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan， the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan，their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Christmas， annual Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ. Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25， and many celebrate on the evening of December 24 as well. Members of the Eastern Orthodox Church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until January 6， when they celebrate Epiphany， a commemoration of the baptism of Jesus. Epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the Three Wise Men of the East in Bethlehem (near Jerusalem， Israel)， where they adored the infant Jesus and presented him with gifts of gold， frankincense， and myrrh. The official Christmas season， popularly known as either Christmastide or the Twelve Days of Christmas， extends from the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25 to the feast of Epiphany on January 6.

Christmas is based on the story of Jesus’ birth as described in the Gospel according to Matthew (see Matthew 1：18-2：12) and the Gospel according to Luke (see Luke 1：26-56). Roman Catholics first celebrated Christmas， then known as the Feast of the Nativity， as early as 336 ad. The word Christmas entered the English language sometime around 1050 as the Old English phrase Christes maesse， meaning “festival of Christ.” Scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of Christmas—Xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century. The X stands for the Greek letter chi， an abbreviation of Khristos (Christ)， and also represents the cross on which Jesus was crucified.

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.

advance

Salute!

I am looking forward to the arrival of Christmas, December 25, is the biggest holiday of the year - western countries Christmas. The festival started as christians commemorate the birth of Jesus, the later gradually evolved into a similar to the Spring Festival in China as a full of festival. Although some of the Chinese people are used to celebrate Christmas, but also some people always cannot accept, a filed for Christmas, they are considered to be "arty", "boring", even "...... ". In fact this is just the product of different cultures, like our Spring Festivals sphere of influence is also more and more big.

To tell the truth, regardless of Chinas traditional festivals and foreign festivals, since it is the holidays, need is an atmosphere, as long as you enjoy playing, why want to so much? Chinese people celebrate Christmas, both can be happy, and embodies the cultural exchanges between east and west, it is a very good thing. Im looking forward to and everybody had a good Christmas this year, looking forward to the arrival of Santa Claus, in his sleigh must be filled with all kinds of toys and gifts......

我在期盼着圣诞节的到来，每年的12月25日，是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日——圣诞节了。这个节日最初只是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子，后来逐渐演变成了类似我国春节那样的一个全性的节日。虽然一些中国人早已习惯过圣诞节，但还有些人总也无法接受，一提起过圣诞节，它们就认为是 “附庸风雅”、“无聊至极”，甚至是“崇洋媚外”。其实这只是不同文化的产物，就像是我们的春节的影响范围也在越来越大呢。

说实在的，不论中国传统节日还是外国的节日，既然是过节，要的就是一个气氛，只要大家玩的尽兴就好，又何必想那么多呢?中国人过圣诞节，既能获得快乐，又体现了东西方文化的交流，是件非常好的事。我期待着和大家一起过好今年的圣诞节，期待着圣诞老人的到来，他的雪橇里一定装满了各种玩具和礼物……

At school today, I went home with my classmates. Because today is a wonderful Christmas Eve. As soon as he came home, dad told me to eat at International Building today. I listened and jumped three feet high with joy. As soon as my mother went home, my father and I went out to eat. On the way, I saw a smiling face on the face of the pedestrians tonight, giving people a feeling of peace and warmth. Walking to the gate of International Building, a warm stream was felt, the cold wind outside the glass door was piercing, and the door was pushed into the warm spring. The Santa Claus in the building waved to us all the time. The green trees of the Christmas tree were covered with thousands of colorful lanterns. Twinkling and twinkling eyes blinked.

When I entered the building, I went straight to the 2 building, and a Christmas song was raged in the western restaurant. A photo of an amiable Santa Claus on the wall. I was sitting on a table with my father, mother and aunts and aunts. All of us were like a big family. It wasnt long before those delicious dishes came. At the sight of the fragrant duck, I cant control myself again and eat it. After I finished these delicious fun, I and many children ran in for a while to see the International Building and courteous and accessible Santa, for a while to see the Christmas tree that a riot of colours of light.

Christmas is a good holiday for gifts. When I was young, I always dreamed that one day Santa could come to my house and give me a nice Christmas gift. When I grew up, I knew that when I was a child, those gifts were sent by mom and dad. Todays Christmas, I pestered my father and mother to give me a gift. Mother told me with a smile. The mother laughed and told me, "tomorrow morning you wake up, Santas gift will be returned." Although I knew the gift was sent by my father and mother, I still put a pair of socks on the head of the bed at night. I woke up in the morning and found a 35 dollar book stuck in my socks. I was so happy that I jumped on the bed and yelled, "long live Santa Claus!" I went to school with a book card to show off to my classmates.

I love Christmas!

Christmas Day

圣诞节

Christmas Day is the biggest festival in the western countries.It is on December 25, the birthday of Jesus Christ.Before the festival, every family will buy a Christmas tree, and put it in the middle of the living-room. And their houses look more soft and beautiful.

圣诞节是西方国家最盛大的节日。节日在12月25日，是耶稣基督的生日。节日前，每个家庭都要买一颗圣诞树，放在起居室的中央，这样他们家看起来又温馨又漂亮。

On Christmas Eve, children always hang up their Christmas stockings and hope Father Christmas will come to put presents in them. In fact, their parents put the presents in their stockings.

在平安夜，孩子们总是把圣诞袜挂起来，希望圣诞老人会把礼物放到里面，实际上把礼物放到袜里面的是他们的父母。

How interesting it is! On Christmas Day, people say "Merry Christmas" to each other.

你说有趣不有趣! 在圣诞节那天，人们互相祝贺“圣诞快乐”。

圣诞，英文是ＣＨＲＩＳＴＭＡＳ，美国韦氏辞典，认为这个字是由ＣＨＲＩＳＴ＋ＭＡＳＳ合成的，其意义是“基督祭典”，而英国牛津辞典亦做相同解释。央格鲁撒克逊语“圣诞”一句，也一样是基督祭典之意。其它非英语系统国家，如法国、西班牙、意大利等，“圣诞”则有“生日”的意思。至于德国人，称圣诞节为“圣诞季”，但其原文则含有“圣夜”之意。圣诞节是一个普天同庆，人人皆欢乐的日子。世界上每一个国家或民族因为传统习惯的不同，其圣诞节习俗也各有差异。

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.
