Celebrate Christmas 慶祝圣誕節(jié)

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!!!

圣誕節(jié)是西方國(guó)家一年中最重要的慶祝活動(dòng)之一。它是在十二月二十五日，就像中國(guó)的新年一樣重要。慶祝耶穌基督誕生的，是神的兒子基督。現(xiàn)在是圣誕節(jié)不再只是為基督徒，但大多數(shù)來(lái)自世界各地的人們。

在十二月的二十四日，每個(gè)人都很興奮，這是在圣誕節(jié)的前一天即平安夜。孩子們通常早睡，并警告說，“如果你是好孩子，那么圣誕老人克勞斯會(huì)給你一個(gè)禮物。”小孩子們相信圣誕老人會(huì)坐在雪橇上，馴鹿拉的煙囪。當(dāng)圣誕老人他過來(lái)的時(shí)候，會(huì)準(zhǔn)備好食物如面包和啤酒，但是大多數(shù)時(shí)候只有父母會(huì)吃這些東西。一些孩子會(huì)用襪子袋裝禮物(他們的父母放的)。

太陽(yáng)照在圣誕節(jié)的早晨!孩子們總是第一個(gè)起床，有些人甚至在四點(diǎn)鐘就起床了。禮物包到處都是!他們看著他們的禮物都是面帶微笑的，哦，親愛的…我希望沒有人失望。對(duì)有人收到粉紅色內(nèi)衣我感到遺憾。孩子們?cè)谕娴臅r(shí)候大人就準(zhǔn)備晚餐。圣誕晚餐通常與親戚一起。通常吃點(diǎn)心之后，就有吃圣誕布丁和公雞的傳統(tǒng)。在這一天結(jié)束之前，接下來(lái)的時(shí)間便會(huì)做游戲。

我祝大家圣誕快樂和新年快樂!!!
