Aunt Wang and her family.

while, the firemen came, and they put out the fire immediately.

今天是 五月初五

——端午节，也就是人们常说的重五。我问爷爷：“端午节是怎么来的?”爷爷说：“端午节是为了纪念我国古代的爱国人士屈原而来的。当时屈原还是楚国的朝廷命官，但是小人当道，朝廷昏庸。屈原不愿亲眼见着国家的覆没，就怀抱石头，投进了汨罗江。楚国的百姓闻讯后，纷纷划船营救。从此，便有了端午节的说法。

我国古代有一位爱国诗人叫屈原，他遭谗言被放逐后，无力拯救危亡的国家，悲愤过度，于是投江自尽，以生殉国。人们为了不使鱼虾吃掉他的尸体，纷纷将捏成的各种各样的饼子投入江中，用来喂饱水中的动物，有的划着船在水上敲锣打鼓驱赶水兽。这便成为现在端午节，吃粽子、炸糕点、赛龙舟的由来。

说到这里，我又想起了我家过端午节的情景。奶奶捏了种类不同的饼子，有小花，小人，小海星，真是形态各异。妈妈急着去买菜角，爸爸不慌不忙地拉着我去买粽子。排着长长的队，好似一条长龙，我们好不容易才买到了粽子。可以看出，家家户户都很重视这个节日，人们用这种方式来表达对屈原的思念和崇敬。

春天，一个美丽又带有梦幻般的景色的季节!在这个季节里，大地上百花齐放，万物复苏。这一切的一切，都给人带来了欢乐。

春雨，蒙蒙的下着。远处的树木和房屋在烟雨中更显得朦胧;远处的马路，流水，小桥，构成了一幅美丽的风景画。花园里的花与草更增添了几分妩媚;在校园里，读书声似乎更清亮了。春雨沥沥的下着，滋润着大地，一切都陶醉在春雨衬托的美景下了。

History

Historian Nicholas Rogers, exploring the origins of Halloween, notes that while "some folklorists have detected its origins in the Roman feast of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and seeds, or in the festival of the dead called Parentalia, it is more typically linked to the Celtic festival of Samhain, whose original spelling was Samuin (pronounced sow-an or sow-in)".The name is derived from Old Irish and means roughly "summers end".Snap-Apple Night (1832) by Daniel Maclise.Depicts apple bobbing and divination games at a Halloween party in Blarney, Ireland.The name Halloween and many of its present-day traditions derive from the Old English era.

The word Halloween is first attested in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All-Hallows-Even ("evening"), that is, the night before All Hallows Day.[4] Although the phrase All Hallows is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All-Hallows-Even is itself not attested until 1556.

11月1日 -- 万圣节 All Saints Day

11月2日 -- 墨西哥的鬼节 Day of Death

万圣节(All Saints Day, All Hallows Day或Hallowmas) 是每年11月1日的欧美大节日。

Halloween 是 All Hallows Eve 的缩写，万圣节前夜的意思，指10月31日的晚上。

For thousands of years people have been celebrating different holidays and festivals at the end of October. The Celts celebrated it as Samhain (pronounced “sow-in”, with “sow” rhyming with cow)。 The Irish English dictionary published by the Irish Texts Society defines the word as follows:

“Samhain, All Hallowtide, the feast of the dead in Pagan and Christian times, signalizing the close of harvest and the initiation of the winter season, lasting till May, during which troops (esp. the Fiann) were quartered. Faeries were imagined as particularly active at this season. From it the half year is reckoned. also called Feile Moingfinne (Snow Goddess)。(1) The Scottish Gaelis Dictionary defines it as ”Hallowtide. The Feast of All Soula. Sam + Fuin = end of summer.“(2) Contrary to the information published by many organizations, there is no archaeological or literary evidence to indicate that Samhain was a deity. The Celtic Gods of the dead were Gwynn ap Nudd for the British, and Arawn for the Welsh. The Irish did not have a ”lord of death“ as such.

The Celts believed that every year on the last day of October, the souls of the dead visited the earth.www.

When the Romans conquered the Celts in the first century A.D., they added parts of their festivals, Feralia and Pomona to the tradition. Feralia was a festival to honor the dead and Pomona was a harvest festival named after the goddess of fruit (apples) and trees.

Around the eigth century, the Christian church made November 1 All Saints Day to honor all of the saints that didnt have a special day of their own. Over the years these festivals combined, the mass held on All Saints Day was called Allhallowmas (the mass of all Hallows - saintly people)。 The night before was known as All Hallows Eve. Eventually this name became Halloween.

In the 1800s, as a lot of people emigrated to the U.S., the holidays and traditions of different cultures merged. Halloween was not always a happy time. October 31, or the night before took on other names. Some called it Devils or Hell night, to others it was mischief night. Here in Vermont, the night before is called cabbage night. To some people this became a time to play tricks on others. Some of these tricks were not fun at all. Luckily, community groups and individuals took action and started to change Halloween into a family event. Dressing up in costumes and going ”trick or treating“, costume parades, community parties and Fall festivals are some of the ways that Halloween is celebrated today.

Other countries have different Fall festivals to honor the deceased.

The Festival of the Dead is one of the most important happenings in both Palermo and the rest of Sicily. The second of November is a festival day for the children of Palermo as, according to tradition,they were made to believe that their dead relatives would return the night before and leave them traditional sweets and cakes on the table (Martorana fruit, which is almond paste made into the shape of different fruit)。 They would also receive puppets of boiled sugar and toys. Its one way of keeping the memory of their dead relatives and loved ones alive.

一年中最”闹鬼“的这天夜里，各种妖魔鬼怪、 海盗、 外星来客和巫婆们纷纷出动。在基督纪元以前，凯尔特人在夏未举行仪式感激上苍和太阳的恩惠。

当时的占卜者点燃并施巫术以驱赶据说在四周游荡的妖魔怪。后来，罗马人用果仁和苹果来庆祝的丰收节与凯尔特人的10月31日溶合了。

在中世纪，人们穿上动物造型的服饰、 戴上可怕的面具是想在万圣节前夜驱赶黑夜中的鬼怪。尽管後来基督教代替了凯尔特和罗马的宗教活动，早期的习俗还是保留下来了。现在，孩子们带着开玩笑的心理穿戴上各种服饰和面具参加万圣节舞会，这些舞会四周的墙上往往悬挂着用纸糊的巫婆、 黑猫、 鬼怪和尸骨，窗前和门口则吊着龇牙裂嘴或是面目可憎的南瓜灯笼。孩子们还常常试图咬住悬挂着的苹果。

美国和加拿大的孩子们在这天穿戴上古怪的服饰去按邻居家的门铃，并按传统发出”是款待我还是要我耍花招“的威胁。邻居们不管是否被吓着，总是准备了一些糖果、 苹果等点心，孩子们则一一收入自己的袋内。

万圣节其实不是基督教的节日。2500年前，爱尔兰的凯尔特人(Celts)以10月31日为一年的最後一日，11月1日是新一年的开始，也象徵冬天的来临。

凯尔特人相信死亡之神Samhain在10月31日的晚上会和鬼魂一起重返人间，寻找替身。因此他们燃点火炬，焚烧动物以作为死亡之神的献礼。还会用动物的头或皮毛做成的服饰打扮自己，发出古怪的声音，使死亡之神认不出自己，避过灾难。这就是今天万圣节化妆舞会的由来。过了当晚，鬼魂回到阴间，一切回复平静。

基督教兴起，教徒沿袭万圣节传统，万圣节的意义慢慢改为纪念为献身於神而死亡的人(holies)。

附带一提，11月2日是墨西哥的鬼节(Los Dias de los Muertos, Day of the Dead)。当天家家户户都烘烤动物造型的面包和煮鸡肉等食物，并在供桌上面放置玩具，以期待早逝的孩童们回到家中玩耍。也可以陈列鲜花、 水果、 照片和彩绘的骷髅头，接待仙逝长辈。

墨西哥人认为，鬼魂和人一样需要及时行乐，所以鬼节宛若一场嘉年华会，人们带着面具到处游走，吃骷髅形状的糖，面包上还装饰有鬼的形像。黄昏时刻，全家人一起到墓园清理墓地，妇女们或跪或坐整夜祈祷，男人们交谈或唱歌，在子夜中烛光忽闪忽灭充满了整个墓园，游唱歌者为已逝亡者的灵魂高歌吟唱。

春节迈着欢快的步伐一步一步的逼近了，我和妈妈也回到了老家。

老家和深圳就是不一样，深圳一点过年的气氛都没有，冷冷清清的，而老家，姨妈家里挂满了腊肉腊鱼和干货，还有我最喜欢吃的兔子呢!

姨妈和妈妈在打扫卫生：先将每一个房间用吸尘器吸一遍，用鸡毛掸子将有些小墙角的蜘蛛网卷调，再用扫把地扫一遍，最后拖一遍。姨妈和妈妈又在准备过年那天接待客人的小吃，用果盘装了一盘水果，又用令一个盘子装了一盘糖果。

而我和姐姐呢，那然就准备过年那天晚上玩的鞭炮了。姨爹带我和姐姐一起去批发市场买鞭炮，哇!琳琅满目的鞭炮，看起来都很好玩!我挑了几个看似很好玩的，就回家帮姨妈和妈妈“干活”了。

在过年的前一个晚上，我“浏览”一下我买的鞭炮，看看买的都好不好玩，我将买的鞭炮全部都放了一个，剩下的就过年时玩，哇!我竟然买爆竹?我非常惊奇。还看了看装鞭炮的袋子，原来我还买了一些小烟花。

那天晚上吃完饭，我们就开始把明天中午的饭菜理出来了，先放在冰箱，明天下锅炒一下就行了。

那天晚上我没睡着觉，因为只要到了晚上12点鞭炮声就会“啪啪啪啪”地响起来，那时，我就睡不着觉了，一心就会想着下楼去放鞭炮了。

在这一天，我们已经放寒假了，马上要迎来春节了，好开心呐!这一天人们都会贴春联，喝屠苏酒，就像宋代诗人王安石写的一首诗：爆竹声中一岁除，春风送暖入屠苏，千门万户瞳瞳日，总把新桃换旧符。

而且我们又长了一岁，那时候就更要懂事了，帮助他人，给亲戚拜年，他们都夸我懂事乖巧的女孩，当时心情是多么的好。

放爆竹是小朋友们最喜欢的，可是爆竹有时候很危险，要在家长的陪护下才能玩噢!小朋友千万不要独自放爆竹哦!

我们还会吃团圆饭，穿新衣服，妈妈婶婶阿姨都忙活着炒菜，我们却在旁边一边玩着，那时候的情景多么忙活啊!

就是这样的一个春节，让我们充满了多少快乐!

寒假来了，他穿了些什么呢?哦，原来他穿的是用作业做的上衣，用课外班做的裤子，还有一个快乐小帽子。我太想得到他了，他飞快地跑到我的面前问：“你想不想得到我呀?我说：当然想。

你就得把我身上的这些衣服给我穿在你的上。”我听见了说：“啊!这些衣服除了帽子以外，怎么看起来别别扭扭的呢?”说着我便把帽子给戴上了，寒假说：“别这么罗哩罗嗦的，快把它给我穿上。”我只好无可奈何地把剩下的两件给穿上了，这不穿还行，这一穿到好，上午熨衣服，下午带裤子，一天只有半个小时戴这个小帽子，我想：这寒假还不如上学好呢。
