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!!!

　　圣诞节是西方国家一年中最重要的庆祝活动之一。它是在十二月二十五日，就像中国的新年一样重要。庆祝耶稣基督诞生的，是神的儿子基督。现在是圣诞节不再只是为基督徒，但大多数来自世界各地的人们。

　　在十二月的二十四日，每个人都很兴奋，这是在圣诞节的前一天即平安夜。孩子们通常早睡，并警告说，"如果你是好孩子，那么圣诞老人克劳斯会给你一个礼物。"小孩子们相信圣诞老人会坐在雪橇上，驯鹿拉的烟囱。当圣诞老人他过来的时候，会准备好食物如面包和啤酒，但是大多数时候只有父母会吃这些东西。一些孩子会用袜子袋装礼物（他们的父母放的）。

　　太阳照在圣诞节的早晨！孩子们总是第一个起床，有些人甚至在四点钟就起床了。礼物包到处都是！他们看着他们的礼物都是面带微笑的，哦，亲爱的...我希望没有人失望。对有人收到粉红色内衣我感到遗憾。孩子们在玩的时候大人就准备晚餐。圣诞晚餐通常与亲戚一起。通常吃点心之后，就有吃圣诞布丁和公鸡的传统。在这一天结束之前，接下来的时间便会做游戏。

　　我祝大家圣诞快乐和新年快乐！！！
