这里英语作文网先为大家提点 圣诞节基础知识：

Christmas 这个词的含义是指“基督的弥撒（Christ's mass）”，即“为基督的一次聚餐”。这个仪式源自《新约》的“最后的晚餐”。而“基督的弥撒（Christ's mass）”这个词是希腊语和拉丁语的拼凑，因为Christ来自希腊语Χριστός，意思本来只是指犹太人的“受膏者”，引申为救世主；而mass来自拉丁语missa，本意为散会（dismissal），引申为基督教会感恩聚会。所以有时又缩写为“Xmas”。这可能是因为 X 类似于希腊字母 Χ（Chi）；Χ 是“基督”的希腊语 Χριστόςì（Christos）中的首个字母。为了尊重其它信仰的人士，以淡化圣诞节的宗教色彩。荷兰语名称类似英语，称作Kerstroeten。圣诞节西班牙语称为Navidad(或Pascuas)，葡萄牙语称为Festas，波兰语称为Narodzenie，法语称为Noel，意大利语称为Natale，加泰罗尼亚语称为Nadal，意思是“诞生”，更清晰地反映圣诞节的意思。与此相对，德语称为Weihnachten，意思为“神圣的夜晚”。

圣诞节英语作文：
Christmas is a Christian holiday held on December 25 which celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. Eastern Orthodox Churches, which use the Julian Calendar to determine feast days, celebrate on January 7 by the Gregorian Calendar. Both dates are merely traditional and neither is thought to be the actual birthdate of Jesus. Christ's birth, or nativity, is said to fulfill Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming of a messiah, or savior.

The word Christmas is derived Middle English Christemasse and from Old English Cristes mæsse.[1] It is a contraction meaning "Christ's mass". The name of the holiday is often shortened to Xmas because Roman letter "X" resembles the Greek letter Χ (chi), an abbreviation for Christ (Χριστός).

In Western countries, Christmas has become the most economically significant holiday of the year. The popularity of Christmas can be traced in part to its status as a winter festival. Many cultures have their most important holiday in winter because there is less agricultural work to do at this time. Examples of winter festivals that are believed by some to have influenced Christmas include the pre-Christian festivals of Yule and Saturnalia.

In Western culture, the holiday is characterized by the exchange of gifts among friends and family members, some of the gifts being attributed to Santa Claus (also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Father Frost). However, various local and regional Christmas traditions are still practiced, despite the widespread influence of American, British and Australian Christmas motifs disseminated by film, popular literature, television, and other media.
