The name Christmas is short for “Christ’s Mass,’’ A Mass is a kind of church service. Christmas is a religious festival. It is the day we celebrate as the birthday of Jesus.

There are special Christmas services in Christian churches all over the world. But many of the festivities of Christmas do not have anything to do with religion.

Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards are modern ways of making the Christmas season merry.

The Christmas story also draws attention to all those people who are on the edge of society - people who feel cut off and disadvantaged; people who, for one reason or another, are not able to enjoy the full benefits of living in a civilised and law-abiding community. For these people the modern world can seem a distant and hostile place.

It is all too easy to turn a blind eye, to pass by on the other side, and leave it to experts and professionals. All the great religious teachings of the world press home the message that everyone has a responsibility to care for the vulnerable. Fortunately, there are many groups and individuals, often unsung and unrewarded, who are dedicated to ensuring that the outsiders are given a chance to be recognised and respected. However, each one of us can also help by offering a little time, a talent or a possession, and taking a share in the responsibility for the well-being of those who feel excluded.

And also today I want to draw attention to another group of people who deserve our thoughts this Christmas. We have all been conscious of those who have given their lives, or who have been severely wounded, while serving with the Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The dedication of the National Armed Forces Memorial was also an occasion to remember those who have suffered while serving in these and every other place of unrest since the end of the Second World War.

For their families, Christmas will bring back sad memories, and I pray that all of you, who are missing those who are dear to you, will find strength and comfort in your families and friends.

A familiar introduction to an annual Christmas Carol Service contains the words: Because this would most rejoice his heart, let us remember, in his name, the poor and the helpless, the cold, the hungry, and the oppressed; the sick and those who mourn, the lonely and the unloved.

Wherever these words find you, and in whatever circumstances, I want to wish you all a blessed Christmas.add text here.

There are many festivals in a year. There are Chinese traditional festivals, which belong to our festival - childrens day, may, eleven, and other legal holidays. But what I like most is not the holidays, but Christmas.

Christmas is a festival for all the Christian countries in the world to commemorate the birth of the Lord of the Lord. Although it is not valued by the Chinese, we can still see the changes that Christmas brings to life. First of all, some businesses began to sell Christmas products. Shops were full of Christmas related products: reindeer, Santa Claus toys! They became popular products and loved by consumers. Secondly, the school has also carried out a lot of Christmas activities, what to guess gifts, Christmas party, give people a strong holiday atmosphere. Christmas is coming in so slowly.

It seems to me that Christmas is such an atmosphere and a mysterious holiday. And it also inspires me to cherish the time, only once a year. Once every time, we have grown up one year old again.

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!

Although it is generally agreed that the Christmas tree in its current form came from Germany in the early 19th century, the tradition of decorating a tree to mark winter celebrations dates back hundreds of years to Roman times, when they used to decorate evergreen trees with small pieces of metal to celebrate Saturnalia.

In medieval times the Paradise Play was performed every year on 24 December. This depicted the creation of Man and the fall of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and always included an evergreen hung with apples which represented the apple tree of temptation.

There is a legend that St Boniface, an English monk, came upon a group of pagans gathered around an oak tree who were preparing to sacrifice a child to the God Thor. In order to stop the sacrifice, and save the childs life, St Boniface is said to have felled the tree with one blow of his fist. Later on, a fir tree grew in place of the oak and this, St Boniface told the pagans, was the Tree of Life and represented the Christ Child.

Legend also suggests that, in the late 16th century, Martin Luther (the founder of the Protestant religion) was the first to decorate an indoor tree with candles when he attempted to recreate the stars shining over a forest of evergreens.

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 many experiments took place 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.

Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, is credited with being responsible for introducing the custom of the Christmas tree to the British public by decorating the first English Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841 using candles, sweets, fruit and gingerbread.

The popularity of the Christmas tree grew in Britain during the first half of the 20th century, with trees becoming bigger and more elaborately decorated with bells, baubles and tinsel. However, the onset of the Second World War resulted in a ban on cutting down trees for decoration and people resorted to having small, artificial tabletop trees bearing home made decorations. These were often taken down into the air raid shelters when the sirens sounded to provide a bit of Christmas cheer!

This all changed following the war, and large trees were erected in many public places to celebrate Christmas. The most famous of these is the tree in Trafalgar Square, London which is an annual gift from the Norwegian government to give thanks for the help they received from Britain during the war.

Dear Miss Luo,

hello

A year has slipped away from our laughter between our eyes, and we should say goodbye to you. Although we only wanted to work for a short year, you left me a deeper impression than the foreign teacher who taught me for five years.

I used to think that Chinese class is a boring thing, but since I know you, I like Chinese class.

First of all, I think you love to encourage classmates. When I answer questions in class, if the answer is right, you will look at me with happy eyes and ask me to make persistent efforts. If I got it wrong, you encouraged me with a gentle voice and spoke to the whole class about my problem. Whether I am right or wrong, I feel happy.

Secondly, I think you are very earnest and meticulous in doing things. For example, when we borrowed arrows from the grass boat, you not only let us learn the surface meaning, but also took us to study the text deeply. To my surprise, you also let us listen to the pingshu, to stimulate the interest of the students, so that the students learn more practical.

You still love to delay, I used to think that it is to deprive me of time to play, but a long time I understand the love for us then, let us learn more knowledge.

Finally, I think you are very concerned about the students, once, there was no meal in the canteen, the students had to be hungry, but you did not ignore, but to invite them to eat noodles.

All in all, you are wonderful, admirable and unforgettable. It seems that this is the main reason that you are better than my original teacher!

I wish you success in your work!

Your students

Every year December 25 is the annual Christmas this year is not exceptional also, what is the most meaningful, is the most unforgettable to me? Let me think, racking my brains.

I pass my hands carefully wipe the one you think the most satisfied with the apple, it is so crystal clear, so for people like that. Buy back a few days in advance, are selected, is my good intention.

Together since then, really want to up to chew it a big, the taste of dont mention it, must be drooling. And then use a color packing paper, playing a beautiful bow. Everything is ok only owe the east wind, Im so looking forward to the arrival of the 24.

On the day of Christmas Eve, can get peace, is the most happy thing, everyone because it contains thoughts and wishes, the teacher will be elated. Then, I have organized a blessing, "his teacher, and give you a peace, I wish you go in peace, the smooth, healthy and happy!" Full tone and real emotion, I sincerely again on a bow, bow and then his hands to the teacher, she will be acceptable. Because the ceremony light feeling heavy, it is a token of her students, how good she refused to a small present from the children.

Send one hand there are lingering fragrance of roses, send blessings to the teacher at the same time, I also can harvest belongs to own happiness and joy.

每年的12月25日都是一年一度的圣诞佳节，今年也不例外，怎样过才是最有意义的，才是最令我终生难忘的呢。让我冥思苦想、绞尽脑汁。

西方国家的人们都喜欢过圣诞节，欢欢喜喜的节日气氛，一点不亚于中国人过大年，那么我就想到了圣诞的前夜是平安夜。哈哈，平安夜当然要送平安果的了。有了……于是，我让妈妈帮忙准备了好多的牛奶苹果，既甜又面还红的，我几乎每天都是在扳着指头计算着平安夜到来的日子，好不容易等到了今天，我太兴奋了，马上开始包装行动。我用手仔细的擦拭着其中一个自己认为最满意的苹果，它是那么晶莹剔透、那么讨人喜那种。提前几天就买回来了，都是精挑细选的，可见我的良苦用心了吧。

自此以后欢，真想凑上去啃它一大口，那滋味别提了，肯定是垂涎欲滴。然后用彩色的包装纸包好，再打上个漂亮的蝴蝶结。万事具备只欠东风，我太期待24日的到来了。

在平安夜这一天，能收到平安果，是每个人最最高兴的事情了，因为它包含着心意和祝福，老师一定会心花怒放的。接着，我又组织了祝福的话，“齐老师，送给你一个平安果，祝你平平安安、顺顺利利、健健康康、开开心心!”饱含着我诚挚地语气和真实地情感，再鞠上一躬，然后双手捧给老师，她一定会接受的。因为礼轻情重，那是她的学生的一片心意，她怎么好拒绝一个来自孩子的小小的礼物呢。

送人玫瑰手有余香，给老师送去祝福的同时，我也会收获属于自己的幸福和快乐。

Christmas steps more and more near, it is full Shandi to us said: "Merry Christmas!" every Christmas, it will send you a blessing, a gift, he is family.

我记得二年级时，我吵着奶奶要给我买一个书包，奶奶说：“再等等吧，明年给你买!”我很失望，一个人独自在房间里偷偷哭泣。

When I was in grade two, I had a quarrel with my grandmother to buy me a bag, grandma said: "and so on, next year to buy you!" I am very disappointed, a person alone in the room secretly crying.

圣诞前夕，我看着别的孩子高高兴兴地牵着爸爸妈妈的手，一同去买衣服，我却在墙角凝望;有的孩子和爸爸其乐融融的拿着自己心爱的礼物欢喜的跑回家，我仍旧倚在墙角凝望。

Christmas Eve, I watched the other children happily holding mom and dads hand, together to buy clothes, but I in the corner watching; some children and father enjoyable with his beloved gift of joy ran home, I still leaning in the corner watching.

泪水禁不住折腾，终于流下了眼泪，我哭着跑回家，偎依在奶奶的怀抱中尽情的放声大哭，哭累了奶奶唱着睡眠曲儿，把我哄睡了。

Tears couldnt help do sth over and over again, and finally shed tears, I cried and ran home, nestled in the embrace of her heartily burst into tears, tired of crying my grandmother sings sleep song son, lulled me to sleep.

我好似做了一个梦，梦见一个高大的身影走出家门。过了15分钟，奶奶捧者崭新的书包给我，越走越近……

I seem to have a dream, dream of a tall figure out of the house. After 15 minutes, my grandmother holding a new bag for me, the more the more close to the......

Most westerners always celebrate Christmas Day as their major festival， in order to memorialize Jesus.During that time， they always have several days off， so they can enjoy this festival with all their hearts.The children often get together with their friends.The adults are busy with decorating their houses.They also send the postcards with their best wishes to each other. In the streets， there are so many Fathers Christmas sending presents to the passers-by.And everything is on a discount in the supermarkets.Thus the supermarkets are the busiest places.

In the evening， the families usually have pudding， sandwiches， apple pies and some other desserts for dinner.After supper， the families always sing and dance around the Christmas tree.Sometimes， they also go to church.Before going to bed， the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed， so that Father Christmas will fill them with presents.It is said that Father Christmas always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the chimney.Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas， but they still hang up their stockings， because their parents will fill them with presents.

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!!!

The History of Christmas ——圣诞节的来历

Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christ‘s birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees. The word Christmas comes from Cristes maesse, an early English phrase that means Mass of Christ. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the Gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthew in the New Testament.

The history of Christmas dates back over 4000 years. Many of our Christmas traditions were celebrated centuries before the Christ child was born. The 12 days of Christmas, the bright fires, the yule log, the giving of gifts, carnivals(parades) with floats, carolers who sing while going from house to house, the holiday feasts, and the church processions can all be traced back to the early Mesopotamians.

Many of these traditions began with the Mesopotamian celebration of New Years. The Mesopotamians believed in many gods, and as their chief god-Marduk. Each year as winter arrived it was believed that Marduk would do battle with the monsters of chaos. To assist Marduk in his struggle the Mesopotamians held a festival for the New Year. This was Zagmuk, the New Year‘s festival that lasted for 12 days.

I like Christmas, it is just like our Spring Festival. Maybe the Spring Festival is much more important and interesting than Christmas, but I like Christmas Day better. Because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during Christmas. When it is snowy,

Christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. I can imagine I am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. What a beautiful place! So we can also call Christmas “Snowy Lovely Day.”

On Christmas Day, shops are red and green. There are so many Christmas cards, Christmas hats, Christmas dolls and many colourful things. So shops look very beautiful. We can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “Merry Christmas.” By the way, I think studying can also become much more interesting.

Christmas is coming, it also means a new year will come. Let’s study harder to welcome

我喜欢圣诞节,它就像我们的春节。也许春节比圣诞节更重要和有趣的,但我更喜欢圣诞节。因为我们可以花时间与我们的朋友和同学在圣诞节期间。当它下雪的,

圣诞节变得更加可爱,就像在童话。我可以想象我在童话中,卖火柴的女孩是我的朋友,丑陋的鸭子越来越漂亮等等。一个美丽的地方!所以我们也可以叫圣诞“雪可爱的一天。”

在圣诞节,商店是红色和绿色。有很多圣诞卡,圣诞帽、圣诞娃娃和许多五颜六色的东西。所以商店看起来很漂亮。我们可以给我们的朋友和一个卡或一个娃娃说“圣诞快乐。“顺便说一下,我觉得学习也可以变得更有趣。

圣诞节即将来临,这也意味着新的一年即将来临。

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)

The night when Jesus was born， the shepherd who watched the sheep in the wilderness heard a voice from the sky and told them the news of Jesuss birth. According to the Bible， Jesus came to the world to be king of the world， so the angels passed the news to more people through these shepherds.

Later， people imitated the angels， and on the night of Christmas Eve， they spread the news of Jesuss birth. Until today， it evolved into the good news. Although Christmas Eve is a festival for foreigners， we are also excited about this day.

On Christmas Eve， each family places a Christmas tree according to tradition. That night， the family gathered in the living room， surrounded by Christmas trees singing Christmas songs， exchanging gifts， sharing the joys and sorrows of life， expressing their inner blessings and love， and praying for happiness in the coming year. But we live on campus， we cant go home.

We went back to the dormitory， took out the apple， and replaced it with someone else. Our dormitory bless each other， give us some snacks， we before bed， wash the socks on the bed in the morning found in a sock gift， I know who is on， is my head， I also gave him a gift， our dormitory exchange gifts， we are while they were sleeping when it.....

The Christmas party

It was Christmas Day yesterday. We had a Christmas party at school. Many friends of mine came to the party. After we said"Merry Christmas", we began to sing Christmas songs, such as Edelweiss, andso on. Then we told some Christmas stories, such as Christmas Father. Then I danced and laughted with my friends. We all had a good time. When the party came to the end,we said "Happy New Year" to each other.

译文：圣诞晚会

昨天是圣诞节，我们在学校举办了圣诞晚会，我的许多朋友都来参加晚会。我们互道“圣诞快乐”后，开始唱圣诞歌，像“雪绒花”等。然后我们讲圣诞故事，如“圣诞老人”等，我们都玩得很开心。当晚会即将结束时，我们互祝“新年快乐”。

Christmas Day,the 25th of December,is the biggest festival celebrated in the Christian countries of the world.Although everyone enjoys Christmas Day,it is particularly enjoyed by children,who get very excited because of the presents they know they are going to receive.Small children believe that their presents are brought by Santa Claus. Santa Claus (also called" Father Christmas)is a kind of old man who,the children are told,lives at the North Pole.He travels through the sky on a sleigh which is pulled by reindeers and loaded with presents.Stopping on the roof of houses,he enters by climbing the chimney.When small children go to bed on Christmas Eve,they hang a stocking at the end of their beds.Their parents warn them not to try to look at Father Christmas,or he will not leave them anything.When they wake,they find their stockings filled with presents.Children are very excited on Christmas morning and always wake up early.

Christmas is also a family celebration.As any members of the family as possible.
