Christmas Day圣诞节
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.
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 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.
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。

Hiding the Presents 藏礼物
i had finished my christmas shopping early and had wrapped all the presents. having two curious children, i had to find a suitable hiding place. i chose an ideal spot—the furnace room. i stacked the presents and covered them with a blanket, positive they’d remain undiscovered. when i went to get the gifts to put them under the tree, i lifted the blanket and there, stacked neatly on top of my gifts, were presents addressed to "mom and dad, from the kids."
早些天我就做好圣诞购物并包装好所有的礼物了。因为有两个好奇的孩子,我需要找一个适合藏礼物的隐蔽处。我想到了一个理想的地方--炉子间。我叠好礼物,用一块毯子把它们盖起来,觉得它们肯定不会被发现。当我去拿礼物想把它们放在圣诞树下时,我掀开毯子,看到,在我准备好的礼物上面整齐地叠放着另一些礼物,上面写着“给爸爸妈妈,你们的宝贝”。

A Brief History of Santa圣诞老人的故事
On the 24th of December every year, children around the world put out milk and cookies in the hopes of luring a magic fat man into their home who will leave presents behind before sneaking into the house next door.
每年的12月24日,世界各地的孩子都会拿出牛奶及饼干,希望能吸引一名有魔法的胖男人来到他们家,并在偷偷潜入下一户人家前留下礼物。
How did such an odd tradition begin?
这样奇怪的传统是如何开始的?
You can pretty much blame Northern Europe, where the winter weather is cold and dark and depressing. And the coldest and darkest and depressingest day is the Solstice on December 21st to 22nd when the sun only gives a few weak hours of light if any at all.
你几乎可以归咎于北欧,在这里冬天的气候又冷、又暗、令人消沈。而最冷、最暗、最令人消沈的一天是12月21日到22日的冬至,这时即便有阳光,也只会带来几个小时的微弱光明。
These sun-deprived people invented magical characters to visit them and lighten the mood by bringing gifts and celebrations. These characters ranged from elves to Gods to goats, but there are two of particular interest to the modern story.
这些缺乏日光的人们创造出神秘的角色拜访他们,并带来礼物及庆典来放松他们的情绪。这些角色的范围从精灵到神、到山羊都有,但对现代故事来说,其中有两个特别重要。
The first is Saint Nick, in The Netherlands. Saint Nick is thin and perhaps a bit stern, but still brings presents to children in early December. He dresses like a bishop in red and white with a staff and rides on a horse named Amerigo, for whom Dutch children are encouraged to leave out a carrot. Saint Nick is called Sinterklaas in Dutch.
第一个是荷兰的Saint Nick。Saint Nick很瘦,可能还有点严苛,但还是会在12月初带礼物给孩子们。他穿着像主教一样的红白衣服,拿着权仗并骑着一匹名为Amerigo的马,荷兰的孩子们被鼓励留给它一支红萝卜。Saint Nick的荷兰文叫做Sinterklaas。
The second character is Father Christmas from England. Father Christmas is a big, jolly pagan dressed in green with a holly wreath on his head. Traditionally he is less concerned with children and gifts than he is with food and wine and celebration and is perhaps best known for being one of the three spirits of Christmas who terrorize Scrooge.
第二个角色是从英国来的Father Christmas。Father Christmas是个身材魁梧、快乐的异教徒,穿着绿色衣服,头戴冬青花环。传统上,他跟孩子们及礼物的关系,还不及于他和食物、美酒和庆典的关系,而且也许他最出名的身分可能是三个圣诞节精灵之中,会恐吓Scrooge(吝啬鬼)的那一个。
When Europeans settled the colonies, Saint Nick and Father Christmas and the other characters began to mix together. This explains why the U.S. version has so many names.
