Christmas Day
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 nativity① or “birth” play, showing how Jesus② was born in a stable③
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-case④ or a sack⑤ 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
On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early Some even turn on the light at two o'clock, and most of them are awake by six o'clock although it is not light in England for another hour or two at this time of the yearChildren look for their presents , and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared At about one o'clock 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 hollidays comes to an end
1。 Chrismas Father was the descendant of a deity called Odin It's also said that Chrismas Father comes from San Nichola, so he is also called StNicholas He was the bishop of Asia Minor city of Rafah and he was called a man of God after his death He is an old man in red clothes and he wears a red hatHe has white mustache He comes from the north on a blowmobile every Chrismas Day He went into people's houses by the track and he put the presents into children's socks So in western countries,parents put the gifts to their kids in kids' socks and put them on the head of the bed on Chrismas Eve On the second day, the first thing after kids wake up is to find the presents from Chrismas Fathers
翻译：圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。 也传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称StNicholas。据说他原是小亚细亚每拉城的主教，名叫圣尼古拉，死后被尊为圣徒，是一位身穿红袍、头戴红帽的白胡子老头。每年圣诞节他驾着鹿拉的雪橇从北方而来，由烟囱进入各家，把圣诞礼物装在袜子里挂在孩子们的床头上或火炉前。所以，西方人过圣诞节时，父母把给孩子的圣诞礼物装在袜子里，圣诞夜时挂在孩子们的床头上。第二天，孩子们醒来后的第一件事就是在床头上寻找圣诞老人送来的礼物
2 。 It is said that there was a goodness man went broke his domain He lived a hard life and he has three daughters The three daughters were being married but he didn't have money to buy dower for his daughters On the happy Chrismas Eve three girls went to bed early They didn't know that their father was so worried At last the Chrismas father decided to help them He besprinkled gold through the stack and the gold fell into the socks of the man's daughters They lived a happy life from then on Chrismas socks was origined by this
传说有个心地善良的没落贵族，生活非常艰难。三个女儿快要出嫁了，他为没有钱给她们买嫁妆而难过。喜庆的圣诞夜，三个姑娘早早地蜷在炕上睡觉了，剩下父亲在长吁短叹。圣诞老人决定帮助他们。他在他们家的烟囱里撒下了许多金子，落进姑娘们烤在火炉旁的长统丝袜里。从此，他们过上了幸福而快乐的生活……圣诞节的袜子就这样产生
3。 It is said that there was a farmer served a poor boy on a cold windy Chrismas Eve and gave him a big chrisemas meal The boy cut a Fir tree's branch and inserted it into the earthHe said, "every year this time there will be many presents in this branch I wish I can pay back to your favor by this beautiful Fir tree " After the boy left, the farmer discovered that the branch had grow up as a big tree Then he realized that the boy was an envoy of the god This is the origin of the chrismas day In western countries, Whatever you are, everyone will prepare a chrismas tree to increase the happiness of the chrismas day Chrismas trees are made of evergreen tree like Fir trees and they represent the long livesPeople put candles,flowers,toys,stars on the tree and they put chrismas present on the tree On Chrismas Eve,people sing and dance happily and they enjoy themselves around the tree
据说有一位农民在一个风雪交加的圣诞夜里接待了一个饥寒交迫的小孩，让他吃了一顿丰盛的圣诞晚餐，这个孩子告别时折了一根杉树枝插在地上并祝福说：“年年此日，礼物满枝，留此美丽的杉村，报答你的好意。”小孩走后，农民发现那树枝竟变成了一棵小树，他才明白自己接待的原来是一位上帝的使者。这个故事就成为圣诞树的来源。在西方，不论是否基督徒，过圣诞节时都要准备一棵圣诞树，以增加节日的欢乐气氛。圣诞树一般是用杉柏之类的常绿树做成，象征生命长存。树上装饰着各种灯烛、彩花、玩具、星星，挂上各种圣诞礼物。圣诞之夜，人们围着圣诞树唱歌跳舞，尽情欢乐

Most westerners always celebrate Christmas Day as their major festival, in order to memorialize JesusDuring that time, they always have several days off, so they can enjoy this festival with all their heartsThe children often get together with their friendsThe adults are busy with decorating their housesThey 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-byAnd everything is on a discount in the supermarketsThus the supermarkets are the busiest places
为了纪念耶稣大部分西方人都庆祝圣诞节作为他们的主要节日。在这段时间里，他们总是有好几天假，所以他们可以全身心的享受这个节日。小孩们经常与他们的朋友聚在一起。大人都忙着装饰他们的房子。他们还互相赠送明信片以及他们对彼此的祝福。 在街上，有很多圣诞老人在派送礼物给路人。超市里面的所有东西都在打折。所以，超市是最忙的地方。
In the evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies and some other desserts for dinnerAfter supper, the families always sing and dance around the Christmas treeSometimes, they also go to churchBefore going to bed, the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed, so that Father Christmas will fill them with presentsIt is said that Father Christmas always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the chimneyNow the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they still hang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents
晚上，家里面通常都有吃布丁，三明治，苹果派还有一些其它的甜点作为晚餐。晚饭后，家人们总是围着圣诞树唱歌跳舞。有时，他们还会去教堂。睡觉前，孩子们常常会把长统袜挂在床边，这样圣诞老人就会用礼物把它填满了。据说圣诞老人总是骑着一只鹿到人类，之后从烟囱进入每个房子。现在的孩子不再相信圣诞老人的故事了，但他们仍然会挂上他们的袜子，因为他们的父母会用礼物把它填满。
第一篇：
Christmas Day
On December 25, people around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ Some people celebrate by giving gifts Children may be thanking Santa Claus for new toys They may also be going to church with their families Christmas has so many traditions and symbols associated with it, that it's hard to determine exactly how it came to be the celebration it is today
第二篇：
Christmas Day
Ah! Christmas morning! Children like to wake up early while it's still dark and sneak into the living room to check the presents----find any with their name on it, shake them to guess what's inside, and then maybe they'll go back to bed and pretend they are still asleep when their parents come to wake them with a "Merry Christmas!"
But almost no one I know gets completely dressed or eats a regular breakfast first thing Christmas morning They just put on a robe or wear their pajamas and go to see what's under the Christmas tree Some Christian families have a tradition of reading the Bible story of Jesus' birth Maybe it's to remind the children that Christmas is Jesus' birthday
Someone will begin to take the presents out from under the tree, see whose name is on the package, and then pass them around Some families wait until all the presents have been given out before opening any of them, while others open each one as it comes to them There are many "thank you" to the ones who gave the gifts, new clothes are tried on to see if they fit, and of course the most interesting toys will immediately be played with
Usually among the Christmas gifts will be some especially delicious candy or cake or cookies which everyone tastes These sweet things may be the only breakfast many people eat Christmas morning After the gifts have been opened, the room will be tidied up except where the children are playing with their toys Everyone will wash and get dressed for the day
Some people may go to a Christmas morning church service around ten o'clock if their church didn't have one on Christmas Eve But most people will just watch TV Well, most men will The children may play outside or inside with their new toys, but the mothers will be in the kitchen preparing Christmas Dinner
