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).
的人都为圣诞节的前一天感到兴奋，这一天被称为平安夜。孩子们通常很早就寝，并被警告说“圣诞老人只有在你表现好的时候才会来给你礼物”。小一些的孩子实际上相信圣诞老人会从他驯鹿拉的雪橇上的烟囱下来。当圣诞老人来的时候，像短面包和啤酒之类的食物都是为他准备的，然而大多数时候父母只是吃。有些孩子把袜子和麻袋放在家里（父母放进去的）用来装礼物。
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.
的孩子在圣诞节早上会发光！孩子们总是第一个醒来，有些甚至在四点钟醒来。到处都是包装纸！他们面带微笑地看着礼物，噢，亲爱的，希望没有人失望。我为那些穿粉红色内衣的人感到难过。孩子们在玩，而晚餐是由大人准备的。圣诞晚餐通常由亲戚一起吃。圣诞节布丁和公鸡的传统通常在圣诞节后与沙漠一起吃。一天的其余时间通常是游戏和乐趣在美好的日子结束之前。
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
