The Feast of Christmas
It is not easy to pin-point the origins of the Christmas feast, today the more important feast of the Christmas season in most western Christian churches. One can only say for certain that the birth of Jesus Christ was being celebrated in Rome by the year 336 A.D.; afterwards the feast was celebrated in other Christian churches throughout the world.
Why it was celebrated on December 25th is another question. No date for the birth of Jesus can be found in the New Testament, which is concerned more with the question "Who is Jesus?" than the date of his birth. Early Christian speculation about his birth date was influenced by the symbolism of the changing seasons, then popular in religious thought, which paid careful attention to the equinoxes and solstices of the sun. Christian scholars speculated that Jesus was conceived at the spring equinox (March 25th) and therefore was born on December 25th, the date of the winter solstice.
In many of the Christian churches, March 25th is still the Feast of the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary that she was to be the mother of Jesus.
Possible impluse for the feast of Christmas may have came too from the establishment of the pagan feast of the "Unconquered Sun-God" by the Emperor Aurelian in 274 A.D. to be celebrated on December 25, the day of the winter solstice in Rome and throughout the empire. In response, Christians could celebrate the feast of the "Sun of righteousness" (Malachi 4,2), Jesus Christ, who called himself " the light of the world."
Christmas in United States of America Santa Claus was born in US in the 1860's he was named this as he had a white beard and a belly, so he was named Santa Claus as this was the Dutch word for St Nicholas, Sintaklaas. Although the Dutch had bought him with them in the 17th century, he did not become an important person at Christmas until the Novelist Washington Irving put him in a novel that he wrote in 1809. This first Santa Claus was still known as St. Nicholas, he did smoke a pipe, and fly around in a wagon without any reindeer, but he did not have his red suit or live at the North Pole, he did however bring presents to children every year.In 1863 He was given the name Santa Claus and bore the red suit, pipe, and his reindeer and sleigh.Now Christmas celebrations vary greatly between regions of the United States, because of the variety of nationalities which have settled in it.In Pennsylvania, the Moravians build a landscape, called a putz - under the Christmas tree, while in the same state the Germans are given gifts by Belsnickle, who taps them with his switch if they have misbehaved.Early European settlers brought many traditions to the United States. Many settled in the early days in the South, these settlers would send Christmas greetings to their distant neighbors by shooting firearms and letting off fireworks. In Hawaii this practice is still in use as under the sunny skies, Santa Claus arrives by boat and Christmas dinner is eaten outdoors.In Alaska, a star on a pole is taken from door to door, followed by Herod's Men, who try to capture the star. Colonial doorways are often decorated with pineapple, a symbol of hospitality.In Alaska, boys and girls with lanterns on poles carry a large figure of a star from door to door. They sing carols and are invited in for supper.In Washington D.C., a huge, spectacular tree is lit ceremoniously when the President presses a button and turns on the tree's lights.In Boston, carol singing festivities are famous. The singers are accompanied by hand bells.In New Orleans, a huge ox is paraded around the streets decorated with holly and with ribbons tied to its horns.In Arizona, the Mexican ritual called Las Posadas is kept up. This is a ritual procession and play representing the search of Mary and Joseph for a room at the inn. Families play the parts and visit each other's houses enacting and re-enacting the drama and, at the same time, having a look at each family's crib.In Hawaii, Christmas starts with the coming of the Christmas Tree Ship, which is a ship bringing a great load of Christmas fare. Santa Claus also arrives by boat.In California, Santa Claus sweeps in on a surf board.In America the traditional Christmas dinner is roast turkey with vegetables and sauces. For dessert it is rich, fruity Christmas pudding with brandy sauce. Mince pies, pastry cases filled with a mixture of chopped dried fruit.The majority of Americans celebrate Christmas with the exchange of gifts and greetings and with family visits. For many, the day begins on Christmas Eve with the Midnight Mass. At Christmas it snows in many states, so dinner is usually eaten indoors. Dinner usually is roast turkey, goose, duck or ham served with cranberry sauce, then plum pudding or pumpkin pie followed by nuts and fruit.American homes are decorated with holly, mistletoe and branches of trees, most have a Christmas tree hung with electric lights, tinsel, baubles, and strings of popcorn and candy canes. In Colorado, an enormous star is placed on the mountain, it can be seen for many kilometers around, while in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, a star is lit in early December.Polish Americans on Christmas Eve spread hay on their kitchen floor and under the tablecloth to remind them of a stable and a manger. When they make up the table for dinner two extra places are set up for Mary and the Christ Child in case they should knock at the door to ask for shelter.In Philadelphia, a procession called a mummers parade runs for a whole day with bands, dancers and people in fancy dress.There are two homes for Santa Claus in the United States one is in Torrington, Connecticut, where Santa and his helpers give out presents. The other home is in Wilmington, New York, where a village for Santa and his reindeer is located.In Arizona they follow the Mexican traditions called Las Posadas. Families play out the parts of Mary and Joseph searching for somewhere to stay. They form a procession and visit their friends' and neighbors' homes where they admire each family's Nativity crib. In parts of New Mexico, people place lighted candles in paper bags filled with sand on streets and rooftops to light 。
Christmas Day 圣誕節(jié) Christmas Day falls on the twenty-fifth of December. It is a very happy day for many boys and girls. Before the term ends in some schools, the children act a nativity or “birth” play, showing how Jesus was born in a stable. 12月25日是圣誕節(jié)。
對許多男孩和女孩來說,這天是個(gè)非常開心的日子。在某些學(xué)校,學(xué)期結(jié)束前,孩子們會(huì)表演有關(guān)(耶穌)誕生或出生的戲劇,用來(向大家)展示耶穌是如何在馬廄里出生的。
On the twenty-fourth of December, all children are very excited. Usually they are sent to bed early so that their parents can get the presents ready. The younger children think that Father Christmas will come down the chimney or fireplace, so they hang up a sock for him to put presents in. The greedy ones even hang up a pillow-case or a sack to try to get more presents. Later that night, father or mother will put presents in the sock, and leave others at the side of the bed. 在12月24日這天,所有的小孩都很興奮。他們常常被(父母)早早地趕上床去睡覺,以便他們的父母能準(zhǔn)備好禮物。
年幼一點(diǎn)的小孩認(rèn)為圣誕老人將從煙囪或壁爐里下來,所以他們掛起襪子,方便圣誕老人把禮物放進(jìn)去。有些貪心的人,為了能得到的禮物,甚至把枕套或布袋掛起來。
晚一些時(shí)候,爸爸或媽媽將禮物放進(jìn)襪子,并把其他禮物放在(孩子們的)床邊。 On Christmas morning, the children wake up very early. Some even turn on the light at two o'clock, and most of them are awake by six o'clock, and the young ones play while the dinner is prepared. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the Christmas dinner is brought in. The turkey or chicken is quickly eaten. Children search in their Christmas pudding for new coins which are hidden in it. The rest of the day is full of games and eating until the happiest of all Christmas hollidays comes to an end. 圣誕節(jié)的早上,小孩們很早就醒來了。
一些人甚至在凌晨兩點(diǎn)開燈,但大多數(shù)小孩會(huì)在六點(diǎn)醒來,孩子們在(大人們)準(zhǔn)備晚餐的時(shí)候玩耍。下午一點(diǎn),圣誕大餐出爐了。
火雞或雞腿總是很快被搶光。孩子們尋找著屬于他們的圣誕布丁是為了確認(rèn)金幣是否有藏在里面。
在剩余的時(shí)間里,(人們)便是玩游戲和吃食物直到最開心幸福的圣誕節(jié)結(jié)束。 望采納。

參考作文地帶整理翻譯:
圣誕節(jié)在12月25日,它對男孩女孩們來說是快樂的一天。在一些學(xué)校學(xué)期結(jié)束前,孩子們會(huì)扮演些戲劇,耶穌怎樣降生的。
在12月24日,所有的孩子都非常興奮。通常他們會(huì)很早的就去睡了這樣他們的父母就可以準(zhǔn)備禮物。一些小孩認(rèn)為圣誕老人會(huì)從煙囪或火爐中來,因此他們會(huì)懸掛襪子讓(圣誕老人)放禮物。一些貪心的會(huì)掛枕墊或大袋,來拿更多的禮物。晚些,父親或母親會(huì)把禮物放進(jìn)襪子里,并放在床邊。
在圣誕節(jié)的早上,孩子們很早就起床了。有些盡然在2點(diǎn)就打開燈,大多數(shù)都會(huì)在6點(diǎn)醒來雖然這時(shí)在英國還沒天亮。孩子們打開禮物,一些小孩在準(zhǔn)備早餐時(shí)就開始玩著玩具。在下午1點(diǎn),圣誕餐就會(huì)被準(zhǔn)備好?;痣u或雞肉很快被吃完。孩子們在圣誕布丁中搜尋被藏著的硬幣。剩下來的時(shí)間就是在游戲還有吃中度過的,直到圣誕假期結(jié)束。
每年的12月25日,是基督教徒紀(jì)念耶穌誕生的日子,稱為圣誕節(jié)(Christmas)。
從12月24日于翌年1月6日為圣誕節(jié)節(jié)期。節(jié)日期間,各國基督教徒都舉行隆重的紀(jì)念儀式。
圣誕節(jié)本來是基督教徒的節(jié)日,由于人們格外重視,它便成為一個(gè)全民性的節(jié)日,是西方國家一年中最盛大的節(jié)日,可以和新年相提并論,類似我國過春節(jié)。 西方人以紅(red)、綠(green)、白(white)三色為圣誕色,圣誕節(jié)來臨時(shí)家家戶戶都要用圣誕色來裝飾。
紅色的有圣誕花和圣誕蠟燭。綠色的是圣誕樹(Christmas Tree)。
它是圣誕節(jié)的主要裝飾品,用砍伐來的杉、柏一類呈塔形的常青樹裝飾而成。 上面懸掛著五顏六色的彩燈、禮物和紙花,還點(diǎn)燃著圣誕蠟燭。
紅色與白色相映成趣的是圣誕老人(Santa Claus),他是圣誕節(jié)活動(dòng)中最受歡迎的人物。西方兒童在圣誕夜臨睡之前,要在壁爐前或枕頭旁放上一只襪子,等候圣誕老人在他們?nèi)胨蟀讯Y物放在襪子內(nèi)。
在西方,扮演圣誕老人也是一種習(xí)俗。 據(jù)《圣經(jīng)》記載,來自東方的圣人在耶酥降生的時(shí)候贈(zèng)送禮物,這就是圣誕老人為兒童贈(zèng)送禮品習(xí)俗的由來。
英國少年兒童在圣誕前夕把長統(tǒng)襪子放在壁爐旁,相信圣誕老人在夜里回從大煙囪下來,給他們帶來滿襪子的禮物。法國的少年兒童把鞋放在門外,讓“圣嬰”來時(shí)把禮物放在鞋里面。
最早以前是一對紅色的大襪子,多大都可以,因?yàn)槭フQ襪是要用來裝禮物的,小朋友最喜歡的東西,晚上他們會(huì)將自己的襪子掛在床邊,等待第二天早上的收禮。要是有人圣誕節(jié)送小汽車那怎么辦?那最好就叫他寫張支票放進(jìn)襪子里好了。
圣誕老人原指公元4世紀(jì)時(shí)小亞細(xì)亞專區(qū)的主教尼古拉,他因和藹可親慷慨濟(jì)貧萬里聞名。 到了6世紀(jì),東方把他尊稱為圣尼古拉。
由于民間有關(guān)尼古拉的傳說中,都聯(lián)系到少年兒童和禮物,從此,圣誕老人便成為專門在圣誕節(jié)向孩子們送禮物的慈祥老人的形象。到了18世紀(jì),通過文學(xué)和繪畫,圣誕老人逐漸成為身穿紅外衣的白胡子、白眉毛老人形象。
圣誕夜指12月24日晚至25日晨。 教會(huì)組織一些圣詩班(或由信徒自發(fā)地組成)挨門挨戶地在門口或窗下唱圣誕頌歌,叫作“報(bào)佳音”,意思是再現(xiàn)當(dāng)年天使向伯利恒郊外的牧羊人報(bào)告耶穌降生的喜訊。
“報(bào)佳音”的人稱為ChristmasWaits,這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)往往要進(jìn)行到天亮,人數(shù)越來越多,歌聲越來越大,大街小巷滿城盡是歌聲。 圣誕節(jié)作為一個(gè)隆重慶祝節(jié)日,不能少了好吃美味食品。
圣誕節(jié)火雞大餐就是例牌主菜了,以前的人們或許會(huì)用微波爐自己做,現(xiàn)在的人們過節(jié)好多就是在外面餐館里用餐了,商家們也會(huì)利用機(jī)會(huì)賺顧客們的錢,當(dāng)然還有許多圣誕節(jié)食品,姜餅、糖果等等了。 那是一頂紅色帽子,據(jù)說晚上戴上睡覺除了睡得安穩(wěn)和有點(diǎn)暖外,第二天你還會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)在帽子里多了點(diǎn)心愛的人送的禮物。
在狂歡夜它更是全場的主角,無論你去到那個(gè)角落,都會(huì)看到各式各樣的紅帽子,有的還有帽尖發(fā)亮的,有的是金光閃閃的。 長期以來,一直流行的圣誕歌主要有三個(gè),一個(gè)是《平安夜》;一個(gè)是《聽,天使報(bào)佳音》;第三個(gè)是《鈴鐺兒響叮當(dāng)》。
據(jù)說有一位農(nóng)民在一個(gè)風(fēng)雪交加的圣誕夜里接待了一個(gè)饑寒交迫的小孩,讓他吃了一頓豐盛的圣誕晚餐,這個(gè)孩子告別時(shí)折了一根杉樹枝插在地上并祝福說:“年年此日,禮物滿枝,留此美麗的杉村,報(bào)答你的好意。 ”小孩走后,農(nóng)民發(fā)現(xiàn)那樹枝竟變成了一棵小樹,他才明白自己接待的原來是一位上帝的使者。
這個(gè)故事就成為圣誕樹的來源。在西方,不論是否基督徒,過圣誕節(jié)時(shí)都要準(zhǔn)備一棵圣誕樹,以增加節(jié)日的歡樂氣氛。
圣誕樹一般是用杉柏之類的常綠樹做成,象征生命長存。樹上裝飾著各種燈燭、彩花、玩具、星星,掛上各種圣誕禮物。
圣誕之夜,人們圍著圣誕樹唱歌跳舞,盡情歡樂。 Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a Happy New Year!· Beautiful dream comes true· Bring you Good wishes of happiness。

Christmas or Christmas Day is a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity. It is traditionally celebrated on December 25 by most Western Christian churches. Although dating to probably as early as a.d. 200, the feast of Christmas did not become widespread until the Middle Ages. Aspects of celebration may include gift-giving, Christmas trees, display of Nativity sets, church attendance, the Father Christmas/Santa Claus myth, and family gatherings. The word Christmas is derived from Middle English Christemasse. 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 X, an abbreviation for Christ.
