聖誕節怎麼過
聖誕卡Christmas Card
聖誕卡是在傳統的聖誕節慶祝活動中發送的賀卡,目的是在人們之間傳達與節日有關的一系列情感。西方社會和亞洲的許多人(包括一些非基督徒)通常在聖誕節前的幾周內交換聖誕賀卡。傳統的問候語是「祝您聖誕快樂,新年快樂」。第一張現代聖誕賀卡是約翰·卡爾科特·霍斯利(John Calcott Horsley)創作的。
A Christmas card is a greeting card sent as part of the traditional celebration of Christmas in order to convey between people a range of sentiments related to the holiday season. Christmas cards are usually exchanged during the weeks preceding Christmas Day by many people (including some non-Christians) in Western society and in Asia. The traditional greeting reads "wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year". The first modern Christmas card was by John Calcott Horsley.
聖誕襪Christmas Stocking
聖誕襪是一個空的襪子或襪子狀的袋子,讓聖誕老人可以在他到達時用小玩具,糖果,水果,硬幣或其他小禮物裝滿它。有些人甚至把聖誕節襪放在床頭柜上,這樣聖誕老人就可以在睡覺時在床旁放滿。
A Christmas stocking is an empty sock or sock-shaped bag that is hung on Christmas Eve so that the Santa Claus can fill it with small toys, candy, fruit, coins or other small gifts when he arrives. Some people even put their Christmas stocking by their bedposts so Santa Claus can fill it by the bed while they sleep.
聖誕帽Christmas hat
每年,隨著聖誕節的來臨,人們通常會看到人們戴著紅色的尖頂帽子。它們有時頂部有小白球,底部通常有白色帶,但它們始終是紅色且始終是尖的。據說如果晚上戴聖誕帽,你會安然入睡。
Every year, as Christmas rolls around, one will commonly see people wearing red pointed hats. They sometimes have little white balls on top, and they usually have a band of white around the bottom, but they are always red and always pointed. It is said that you will be sleeping peacefully and a little warmly if wearing christmas hat at night.
聖誕樹Christmas Tree
聖誕樹是裝飾樹,與聖誕節慶祝活動有關通常是常綠的針葉樹,例如雲杉,松樹或冷杉,或類似外觀的人造樹,起源於北歐。該樹傳統上裝飾有「玫瑰」由彩色紙,蘋果,薄酥餅,金屬絲和[和]蜜餞製成」。在18世紀,它開始被蠟燭照亮,在電氣化出現之後,最終被聖誕燈取代。如今,有各種各樣的傳統和現代裝飾品,例如花環,小玩意,金屬絲和糖果。可以在樹的頂部放置天使或星星,分別代表耶穌誕生的天使加百列或伯利恆之星。
A Christmas tree is a decorated tree, usually an evergreen conifer, such as a spruce, pine or fir, or an artificial tree of similar appearance, associated with the celebration of Christmas, originating in Northern Europe.The tree was traditionally decorated with "roses made of colored paper, apples, wafers, tinsel, [and] sweetmeats". In the 18th century, it began to be illuminated by candles, which were ultimately replaced by Christmas lights after the advent of electrification. Today, there is a wide variety of traditional and modern ornaments, such as garlands, baubles, tinsel, and candy canes. An angel or star might be placed at the top of the tree to represent the Angel Gabriel or the Star of Bethlehem, respectively, from the Nativity.
聖誕老人Santa Claus
聖誕老人,也被稱為聖誕節父親,聖尼古拉斯,聖尼克,克裡斯·克林格,或簡稱為聖誕老人,是源自西方基督教文化的傳奇人物。聖誕老人通常被描繪成一個矮胖、快活、白鬍子的人,有時戴眼鏡,穿著一件帶有白色毛皮領子和袖口的紅色外套,一件白色毛皮袖口的紅色褲子,一件白色毛皮的紅色帽子以及黑色皮帶和靴子和提著裝滿兒童禮物的袋子。
據說聖誕老人會列出世界各地的兒童名單,並根據他們的行為對其進行分類,並分發禮物。他在精靈的幫助下完成了這一壯舉,精靈在北極的車間裡製作玩具,而飛行的馴鹿則拉著雪橇。人們通常將他描繪成居住在北極,並會發出「 ho ho ho」的笑聲。
Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, or simply Santa, is a legendary figure originating in Western Christian cultur.Santa Claus is generally depicted as a portly, jolly, white-bearded man—sometimes with spectacles—wearing a red coat with white fur collar and cuffs, white-fur-cuffed red trousers, red hat with white fur, and black leather belt and boots and carrying a bag full of gifts for children.
Santa Claus is said to make lists of children throughout the world, categorizing them according to their behavior, and to deliver presents. He accomplishes this feat with the aid of his elves, who make the toys in his workshop at the North Pole, and his flying reindeer, who pull his sleigh. He is commonly portrayed as living at the North Pole, and laughing in a way that sounds like "ho ho ho".
