英语作文在圣诞节最新20篇

"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.

it is hardly make me forget the christmas party that i spent a whole night whih my friends.

this christmas,i invited some frineds to my home to celebrate.we made the house up ,like a magic world. to be honest ,i haven‘t got any experience like that.we got togather,song and danced. one of my frineds was dressed like santa----the father of christmas.he collected all the presents of us.put them into a bag ,then let us chose one of them.so we can get all the best wishes from all of us.

we talkde so much what about our friendship and other interesting things. all of us thought that night was very pricesuress

Christmas is a time for miracles

Christmas is a time for miracles.It is also a time when the dull things of daily life and the forecast of human hature gives way to a spiritual awakening.Allow me to share with you one truly wonder of Christmas.

Our miracle story comes from an incident that occurred in Flanders, Belgium, at the dawn of World War I. On December 24th ,1914, German and English troops faced each other from the relative safety of their ditches across which no mans land lying between them. Suddenly, the silence was broken, not by gunfire, but by the strains of Silent Night arising from the German position. It wasnt long before the English troops responded with a Yuletide hymn of their own. Then an amazing sight surprised the eyes of the English soldiers. A German soldier holding a small tree arranged with lighted candles began to walk across the land toward the English lines. This miraculous scene occasioned the declaration of a truce followed by English and German troops greeting one another, exchanging small gifts and singing songs of Christmas. Word of this incredible phenomenon reached the High Command of both sides.

On Christmas Day, both armies moved from their positions to engage in the killing of war at other battlefields. However, on Christmas Eve 1914 on a field in Flanders, there was Peace on Earth.

Christmas is a truly amazing phenomenon. The day and season perpetuate a miraculous, historical event as an annual presence that challenges an often rough, cruel, and egotistical creature -- the human being -- to become open and amenable to their Creators vision. The great miracle of Christmas continues in the performance of humane acts, moral honesty, and in the spiritual awareness of millions struggling to lead a life of grace.

Dear Mr. Wang,

Hello!

Recently, our class held the "Beautiful Christmas Chorus Competition" activity, I was unable to participate in the school recitation team recording activity, so I feel very sorry.

Remember Monday, you asked the students: "these days there are two festivals - Christmas and New Years Day, which holiday do you want to celebrate? We happen to coincide with the selection of "Christmas", of course, this is also my favorite holiday, it can be seen that we love Christmas in particular. Although, the festival chose my favorite, but when the team leader, not so gratified. You let the students recommend, but for some reason, the students did not choose me. I think, if you can recommend yourself first, then let the students vote on it. Because only let the students recommend or vote, the recommended students may not want to be, while the equivalent students like me, but may not have the opportunity, do you think I said reasonable?

Teacher, in fact, this is a small matter, the most regrettable is not able to spend Christmas with my classmates. How I envied bu Qingyang the other day for his successful participation in the party! Do you know? That afternoon, during the rehearsal of the recitation team, we were absent-minded, dejected and extremely sad.

Teacher, in fact, I understand your work, you are also for our good, I just want to talk with you about my heart.

merry

The work is smooth

Song Yuxuan

Chritmas is the day that Jesus Christ was born. People in the world celebrate and worship this day in his honor.

The santa claus will come out and send presents for children.

Christmas cards and decorated trees are all over the place. The carolling of Christmas songs echo through the air.

I am not a Chirstian, but I also enjoy the atmosphere of Chrismas. I wish everybody have a merry Chirismas.

christmas is coming

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 the new year!

Speaking of Christmas, I would not hesitate to think of the Spring Festival in China, is a beautiful Christmas tree, is an ancient culture of traditional paper-cut grilles; Is a funny Santa Claus, a surplus of the host is on a smile, both seem to have nothing to do, however, the Chinese New Year and Christmas in the west is the same, is the same as a grand festival!

I, a Chinese descendant, but like a western festival to commemorate Jesus. Although Christmas in China there is no deep meaning is spread to western countries, however, many people want to make Chinas Christmas also as grand as interesting as we think --

Since childhood, I thought: Christmas have a Christmas tree, and even if there is no interesting old Santa Claus, students can also be friends each other gifts, if Chinas Christmas is as grand as the Spring Festival this much good, each have a high to the ceiling luxuriantly green Christmas tree, the good has a lot of trees, pieces of fine gifts, hung on the Christmas tree also states the art incomparable big bowknot. People are interested in can also be dressed in Santa Claus when night falls, people are sleeping, carrying a big bag of a toy gadgets dot small snacks, quietly sent a a. Can also put some of his best friend is about to have a Christmas party together in the home, their carefully prepared some small things, although it is worthless, but it is truly priceless friendship; Do a also mean the meal together, he to do not ask, he said fast, then the tomatoes on his face; Decorate the house together, "he said bench points, further to the right as soon as he moves, he stood instability; Beat together, rooms are full of people, he put the pillow was blowing in his face, he will play in the egg on his face...

Adults also play day and night, discussing with classmates outside worry their joys and sorrows suantiankula, and had close friends heart-to-heart talk...

Christmas, if this become vigorous, then people will be the most popular Christmas a holiday!

说起圣诞节，我会毫不犹豫地想到我国春节，一个是美轮美奂的圣诞树，一个则是古老文化的传统剪纸窗花;一个是风趣横生的圣诞老人，一个则是台上笑盈的主持人，两者似乎毫不相干，但是，中国的春节与西方国家的圣诞节是一样的，是一样的一个盛大的节日!

我，一个炎黄子孙，却喜欢一个西方国家纪念耶稣的节日。虽然在中国圣诞节没有什么深刻的意义是西方国家流传而至的，但是，很多人想让中国的圣诞节也像我们想象中那样盛大那样有趣——

自小，我就在想：圣诞节有圣诞树，还有即使是不存在的有趣的圣诞老人，还可以同学朋友之间互相送礼物，如果中国的圣诞节也像春节那么盛大该多好啊，每家有一棵高至天花板的碧绿碧绿的圣诞树，经济好的有好多棵，圣诞树上挂着一件件精美的礼物，还邦着一个艺术无与伦比的大蝴蝶结。有兴趣的人们还可以穿着圣诞老人的衣服当夜幕降临人们都睡时，拿着一大袋一玩具小玩意儿小东西小零食，悄悄地一家一家送去。还可以把自己的一些要好的朋友约到家里一起过个圣诞派对，自己精心准备一些小东西，虽然是不值钱的，但是这才是真正无价的友谊;一起做一顿还意思的饭，他来问做好没，他说快了，然后西红柿就砸在了他的脸上;一起装饰屋子，他说凳子再往右点，他刚一出手，他就站不稳了;一起打打闹闹，几个房间都是满满的人，他把枕头打在他脸上，他又将鸡蛋打在他脸上……

大人们也玩的日日夜夜，在外面与同学们讨论心事自己的喜怒哀乐酸甜苦辣，与曾知心交心的朋友谈心……

圣诞节，如果变得这样轰轰烈烈，那么圣诞节将是人们最欢迎的一个节日!

Westerners how to celebrate Christmas

Christmas is the most important festival in the western world. It falls on December 25th. When my mother and I stayed in America, we were invited by one of my mothers friends to have Christmas with an American family. We bought some presents for our American friends on our way to their house.

They had prepared different kinds of gifts for their family and guests when we got to their house, such as Christmas candles, cakes, cards, little toys, biscuits and so on. A Christmas tree was placed in the comer of the brilliant hall. How beautiful it was! We were impressed by these. We had a big meal. After dinner, they told us some interesting stories about Christmas. We learned that Christmas had something to do with God. We went to bed at midnight. Though we knew the Santa Claus was not true, we were still waiting for the Santa Claus with white beard to bring us presents.And we received many beautiful presents the next morning.

This Christmas was really unforgettable. Not only did I have a good time, but also I knew something about foreign culture.

西方人怎么过圣诞节?

12月25日的圣诞节是西方国家最重要的节日。我和妈妈在美国的时候，曾应妈妈的一位朋友邀请，去一个美国家庭过圣诞节。在去他家的途中，我们为美国朋友买了一些礼物。

我们到时，他们已为家人及客人们准备了各种各样的礼物，有圣诞蜡烛、蛋糕、卡片、小玩具和饼干等。圣诞树放在灯火通明的客厅的一角，实在是太荚了。这一切给我们留下了深刻的印象。我们吃了一顿大餐。饭后，他们给我们讲了一些圣诞节的故事，我们知道了圣诞节与上帝有关。我们午夜时分才上床睡觉。尽管我们知道圣诞老人不是真的，但还是等待着白胡子的圣诞老人为我们送来礼物。第二天早晨我们收到了许多漂亮的礼物。

这个圣诞节实在太令人难以忘怀了。我不仅过得很愉快，还了解了外国文化。

Dear copied VV teacher:

Christmas is coming. Thank you for your help in the past year. Your kindness and strict requirements have helped me become an excellent student. Happy New Year! Health and happiness forever!

Your student: __

the spring festival and christmas have much in common. Both are prepared 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.

春节和圣诞节有许多共同点。两个都准备营造一种欢乐的气氛；两个都提供一个团圆的家庭宴会，既满足了孩子们的新衣服，可爱的礼物和美味的食物。然而，中国的春节没有宗教背景，而圣诞节与上帝有关系，而圣诞老人则带着白色的礼物给孩子们带来礼物。西方人互相送圣诞卡问候，而中国人互相打电话。

如今，一些中国青年已经开始庆祝圣诞节，以西方人为榜样。也许他们这样做只是为了好玩，出于好奇。

Christmas is amazing looking forward to day, especially kids. We held a Christmas party at school, many of my friends to come to the party. After we said "merry Christmas", we began to sing Christmas songs, such as "edelweiss". Then we speak Christmas stories, such as "Santa Claus", we all had a good time. When the party is coming to an end, we wish each other "happy New Year".

圣诞节是令人雀跃期待的日子，尤其是小孩子。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”。

Although Christmas is a Western holiday, but now there are many Chinese people love it, perhaps because in the day we can get many gifts, or perhaps because it is

Interesting, but I love it, and more than that, but also because we are teachers and students together, happy, except that the "red, green and white" between teachers and students outside of deep love.

Hope the stars, get the moon, and finally looked forward happy Christmas. On that day, I arrived gate, suddenly, I was shocked, and saw a Santa Claus holding a saxophone, where side-hop edge blowing, extremely beautiful and it is filled with gifts and lawn around the time I really well want to touch it, the way it should be a gift ah! "Hey! A pity! It is simply impossible. Immediately, I saw two or three from Santa Claus face, hands, also took a number of things, but unfortunately do not see what is inside. Powerful sense of curiosity that I can not help to pour into the crowd, along for the ride. "So is the candy ah!" Although I rarely eat candy, but not today, I would have to carry on eating one meal, even if I lost half of the teeth.

Christmas Day

圣诞节

Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December. It is a very happy day for many boys and girls. Before the term ends in some schools, the children act a nativity or “birth” play, showing how Jesus was born in a stable.

12月25日是圣诞节。对许多男孩和女孩来说，这天是个非常开心的日子。在某些学校，学期结束前，孩子们会表演有关（耶稣）诞生或出生的戏剧，用来（向大家）展示耶稣是如何在马厩里出生的。

On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready. The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace, so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. The greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents. Later that night, father or mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed.

在12月24日这天，所有的小孩都很兴奋。他们常常被（父母）早早地赶上床去睡觉，以便他们的父母能准备好礼物。年幼一点的小孩认为圣诞老人将从烟囱或壁炉里下来，所以他们挂起袜子，方便圣诞老人把礼物放进去。有些贪心的人，为了能得到更多的礼物，甚至把枕套或布袋挂起来。晚一些时候，爸爸或妈妈将礼物放进袜子，并把其他礼物放在（孩子们的）床边。

On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two oclock, and most of them are awake by six oclock, and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared. At about one oclock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in. The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten. Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it. The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas holidays comes to an end.

圣诞节的早上，小孩们很早就醒来了。一些人甚至在凌晨两点开灯，但大多数小孩会在六点醒来，孩子们在（大人们）准备晚餐的时候玩耍。下午一点，圣诞大餐出炉了。火鸡或鸡腿总是很快被抢光。孩子们寻找着属于他们的圣诞布丁是为了确认金币是否有藏在里面。在剩余的时间里，（人们）便是玩游戏和吃食物直到最开心幸福的圣诞节结束。

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells..." Christmas day coming, quick make to wish, Santa Claus will help you achieve.

On this day, Santa Claus driving elk flying over the sky, he dont have a drivers license, also do not need a drivers license; Heaven no lights, because if there is a traffic light, gifts will delay time.

Have you ever put your own socks hanging in the window or on the wall? If you didnt hang up, please immediately put the socks hang up immediately, but remember, dont hang a smelly socks, decades without washing. , in this case, the second day you will find in your next to the socks, there will be a faint in the ground, before you go past a look, originally you mother.

Ah!!!!! Of course we know, there is no Santa Claus time, if you have, it is only your family. Have little desire, family will help you achieve, with great desire and could realize, you work hard, come on.

“叮叮当、叮叮当，铃儿响叮当……”圣诞节到啦，快许给愿吧，圣诞老人会帮你实现的。

这一天，圣诞老人驾驶着麋鹿从天上飞过，他没有驾驶证，也不需要驾驶证;天上更没有红绿灯，因为如果有了红绿灯，就会耽误送礼物的时间。

你有没有把你自己的袜子挂在窗户或墙上呢?如果没挂好，就请赶紧立刻马上把袜子挂好，不过千万记住——不要挂臭的、几十年没有洗的袜。，这样的话，第二天你会发现在你袜子的旁边，会有一个昏倒在地的人，你走前过去一看，原来你的妈妈。

啊!!我们当然知道，时间上根本没有圣诞老人，如果有，那也只是你的家人。有小愿望的，家人会帮你实现，有大愿望而可能会实现的，那么你就努力吧，加油。

Today is December 25, Christmas.

Early in the morning, father, mother and I said: each other "Merry Chrismas!" Dad said, do they observe Christmas day in western countries like our Chinese Spring Festival.

一大早，我和爸爸、妈妈互相说：“Merry Chrismas!”爸爸说，西方国家的人过圣诞节就像我们中国人过春节那样热闹。妈妈立刻打开电脑查阅了“圣诞节”、“圣诞树”和“圣诞老人”的来历及传说。我觉得很好奇，也很有趣!

我拿出了几天前悄悄地做给爸爸、妈妈的心爱的礼物。爸爸高兴地连声说：“Thank you! Thank you!”还把我抱起来了呢!我开心极了!

下午，妈妈带我去漕运广场买圣诞树。那里的人真多呀!妈妈给我买了许多礼物，有会唱“Jingle bell”的玩具圣诞老人，有传说中神奇的魔术棒……虽然妈妈没有给我买圣诞树，但是我已经很满足了。

回到家后，我把礼包打开，把圣诞老人放在地上，只见他边跑边唱“Jingle bell，jingle bell……”我们都被逗乐了。爸爸提醒我说：“礼物要好好珍惜哦!”我说：“好，一定!”

今天，真是一个快乐的圣诞节!

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”。

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)

圣诞老人的传说在数千年前的斯堪的纳维亚半岛即出现。北欧神话中司智慧，艺术，诗词，战争的奥丁神，寒冬时节，骑上他那八脚马坐骑驰骋于天涯海角，惩恶扬善，分发礼物。与此同时，其子雷神着红衣以闪电为武器与冰雪诸神昏天黑地恶战一场，最终战胜寒冷。据异教传说，圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。也有传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称St.Nicholas.因这些故事大多弘扬基督精神，其出处，故事情节大多被淡忘，然而圣诞老人却永驻人们精神世界。

每年圣诞日，圣诞老人骑在白羊星座上，圣童手持圣诞树降临人间，随着世事变迁，作家和艺术家开始把圣诞老人描述成我们今日熟悉的着红装，留白胡子的形象。同时不同的国度和文化对圣诞老人也有了不同的解释。在德国，传说他扮成圣童把坚果和苹果放在孩子们鞋里。他乘双轮马车四处漫游，观察人们的行为，尤其是小孩，如果表现好，将会得到苹果、坚果、糖等诸多奖品。坏孩子则得一鞭子。家长们灵机一动纷纷采用此传说来鼓励孩子们听话。大大超过了新年，成为一个全民的节日。圣诞老人已经成为圣诞节最受喜爱的象征和传统。他赶 着驯鹿，拉着装满玩具和礼物的雪橇挨家挨户给每个孩子送礼物的快乐老精灵的形象已深深地留在人们的记忆中。

11世纪末来自意大利的宗教士兵将Nicholas圣人的遗物带回意大利，并在港口城市Bari建造了一座教堂来纪念他。很快世界各地的基督教徒纷至沓来朝圣这位圣人。这些朝圣者将圣人Nicholas的故事带回他们的本土，所以有关圣诞老人的传说在各个国家都各具特色。

12世纪欧洲出现了圣人Nicholas纪念日，以互赠礼物和慈善活动为主。德国、法国、荷兰则将12月6日作为宗教纪念日，给孩子和穷人们赠送礼物。

荷兰殖民者来到美洲时，将他们的Sintirklass主教也带了去，Sintirklass身着红袈裟，骑着一匹白马。Sintirklass的美国形象后来逐渐演变成一个快乐的老精灵。起初美国作家华盛顿.欧文在他的喜剧《纽约的历史》中将他描述成一个又圆又胖的荷兰老人。1823年，诗人Clement Moore在他的诗歌《St.Nicholas印象》中继续将Sintirklass/Saint Nicholas的形象戏剧化，这就是各位在本篇开头看到的圣诞老人。

19世纪60年代卡通制作者Thomas Nash画了一幅胖胖的、慈祥的圣诞老人作为《Harper的一周》的插图。这个圣诞老人的形象开始深深地扎根于美国人民的脑海中。随着时间的推移，圣诞老人的形象传回欧洲，传到南美洲，传遍世界各地。

许多国家都保存了他们自己有关圣诞老人的风俗和传说。在荷兰的传说中，圣诞老人Sintirklass还带了一个叫Black Peter的助手，乘着一艘船于12月6日来到。他带着一本大书，书中描述了所有荷兰小孩在过去一年中的表现。表现好的小孩就送礼物给他们，不好的小孩便让他的助手带走。

德国的圣诞老人也带着一个叫做Knecht Ruprecht、Krampus或Pelzebock的助手，肩上背着个装着礼物的大袋子，手上拿着一根棍子。好孩子可收到他的礼物，顽皮的孩子却要给教训几棍子。

意大利的圣诞老人叫La Befana ;法国的圣诞老人叫Father Christmas或Pere Noel ;瑞士的圣诞老人叫Christkindl或Christ Child;斯勘的纳维亚地区的圣诞人叫julenisse 或 juletomte ;而英国的圣诞老人和法国一样也叫Father Christmas(圣诞之父)，他的形象比其它圣诞老人更庄严，更清瘦一些。北美的圣诞老人便是乘着驯鹿拉的雪橇来给孩子们送礼物的。

December 25th is Christmas day, my mother told me: Christmas is not a traditional Chinese festival, it is a festival in western countries the biggest, equivalent to the Spring Festival of our country.

Now our country Christmas is very grand. A few days before Christmas, go into the street, every corner lets a person feel the atmosphere of the festival. Most of the merchants, shopping malls with a Christmas tree and with a charming smile form to Santa Claus, some on the door, and some in the hall. The Christmas tree is tower, wearing a green dress, slow little taco bell, as long as gently touched, jingle, make beautiful sounds, all sorts of color of small lights like the stars in the sky blink of an eye, and as a small colorful lanterns, flash, beautiful!

Many merchants in order to attract customers eye, in a transparent glass door spew out all kinds of Christmas gifts of graphics, some direct hit "celebrate Christmas promotion" of all kinds of benefits of advertising. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, I hope every children want presents can have a big surprise, of course I was no exception.

12月25日是圣诞节，妈妈告诉我：圣诞节不是中国传统的节日，它是西方国家一年中最盛大的一个节日，相当于我们国家的春节。

现在我们国家的圣诞节很隆重。圣诞节前几天，走到大街上，每个角落都让人感受到过节的气氛。大多数的商家、商场都摆着圣诞树和面带笑容形态可掬的圣诞老人，有的放在门口，有的摆在大厅。圣诞树呈塔形，穿着一件绿衣裳，身上挂慢了一个个小铃铛，只要轻轻一碰，叮当、叮当发出动听的声音，各种颜色的小灯好像天上眨眼的星星，又像五颜六色的小灯笼，一闪一闪的，美丽极了!

好多商家为了吸引顾客的眼睛，在透明的玻璃门上喷出各种圣诞礼物的图形，有的直接打出“庆圣诞大促销”的各种让利广告。明天就是平安夜，希望每个想得到礼物的小朋友都能有个特大的惊喜，当然我也不例外。

I like Christmas, it is just like our Spring Festival.

我喜欢圣诞节，它就像我们的春节。

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,

也许春节比圣诞节更重要和有趣，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。当下雪的时候，

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.”

圣诞节变得更可爱，就像是童话故事。我可以想像我在一个童话，卖火柴的小女孩是我的朋友，丑小鸭变得越来越漂亮等等。多么美丽的地方!所以我们也可以把圣诞节“雪可爱的一天。”

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.

在圣诞节，商店是红色和绿色。有许多圣诞卡，圣诞帽，圣诞娃娃和许多丰富多彩的事情。所以商店看起来很漂亮。我们可以提供信用卡或一个玩偶我们的朋友说：“圣诞快乐”。顺便说一下，我想学习也可以变得更加有趣。

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

圣诞节即将来临，这也意味着新的一年到来。让我们更加努力学习来迎接新年!
