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. father christmas it is said that in the year of 300 ad, there was a kind old man and his name was saint nicholas. he was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them. today, father christmas is an imaginary figure, but nearly all young children believe in him. they think he is a happy old man with a long white beard and a long red robe. on the night of the twenty-fourth of december every year, father christmasfrom some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace to put presents by the beds of children or to fill their stockings. so when children go to bed that night, they hang up their stockings, and on christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. of course, its really their parents who fill the stockings. another name for father christmas is santa claus. for todays christian, the origin of christmas is, and should be, the birth of jesus christ as recorded in the bible. nothing more and nothing less. however, most of what we witness on december 25th each year has absolutely nothing to do with that blessed day, which probably occurred in late summer or early fall about 2,000 years ago. in fact, most of the customs and traditions of christmas actually pre-date the birth of jesus, and many of them are dowight deceptive in their meaning and origin. anyway, who cares when christ was born? christmas day,the 25th of december,is the biggest festival(节日)celebrated in the christian countries of the world.although everyone enjoys christmas day,it is particularly enjoyed by children,who get very excited because of the presents they know they are going to receive.small children believe that their presents are brought by father christmas(圣诞老人).father christmas is a kind of old man who,the children are told,lives at the north pole.he travels through the sky on a sleigh(雪撬) which is pulled by reindeers(驯鹿) and loaded with(装满) presents.stopping on the roof of houses,he enters by climbing the chimney(烟囱).when small children go to bed on christmas eve,they hang a stocking at the end of their beds.their parents warn them not to try to look at father christmas,or he will not leave them anything.when they wake,they find their stockings filled with presents.children are very excited on christmas morning and always wake up early. christmas is also a family celebration.as any members of the family as possible gather to eat,play party games and watch the special christmas programmes on tv.【篇三：圣诞节英语作文】 【圣诞节英语作文】圣诞节里的小故事 christmas is coming i like christmas, it is just like our spring festival. maybe the spring festival is much more important and interesting than christmas, but i like christmas day better. because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during christmas. when it is snowy, christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. i can imagine i am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. what a beautiful place! so we can also call christmas “snowy lovely day.” on christmas day, shops are red and green. there are so many christmas cards, christmas hats, christmas dolls and many colourful things. so shops look very beautiful. we can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “merry christmas.” by the way, i think studying can also become much more interesting. christmas is coming, it also means a new year will come. lets study harder to welcome the new year! merry christmas 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 its 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 thats 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 ones 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
