(ps:给大家推荐首比伯的歌mistletoe，mv更赞哦) santa claus圣诞老人 patron saint of children and sailors, saint nicholas was a 4th-century bishop from asia minor. he was famous for giving gifts to children. his feast day, december 6, became a childrens holiday in holland, where he is known as sint nikolaas. english colonists in new york (previously the dutch colony of new amsterdam) called him “santa claus” because they couldnt pronounce the dutch name. the english began celebrating the feast day on christmas. kriss kringle, another name for santa claus, developed in germany around 1600. german protestants recognized december 25, the birth of the christ child, christkindl, as the time to give gifts. “christkindl” evolved into “kriss kringle.” in the netherlands and germany, the santa claus figure often rode through the sky on a horse to deliver presents to children. he often wore a bishops robes and was sometimes accompanied by black peter, an elf who whipped naughty children. in addition to the tradition of saint nicholas, the three wise men gave gifts to the baby jesus, starting the christmas gift tradition. read names for santa around the world christmas holly圣诞红的叶片 one of the most popular christmastime accoutrements, holly has sharp edges, symbolic of the crown of thorns worn by jesus at his crucifixion. the red berries represent blood. yule log圣诞节原木 the word yule meant “infant” in the language of the chaldeans, who lived in the middle east. the germanic tribes of northern europe, including the anglo saxons, celebrated “yule-day” or “childs day.” the custom of the yule log has been noted in france and italy as far back as the 1200s. it later spread throughout europe. on christmas eve an enormous log would be cut and placed in the hearth. the log would be sprinkled with salt, oil, and mulled wine, and prayers said to protect the house from the devil and lightning. in some regions, the daughters of the family lit the log with splinters of the previous years log. in other regions, the lady of the house had the honor of lighting the log. as iron stoves replaced giant hearths in the 1800s, yule logs became decorative, often being used as christmas centerpieces and decorated with evergreens and candles. cooks began creating pastryyule logs, rolled cakes covered in chocolate or coffee and decorated with sugared holly and roses. candy canes 棒棒糖 some scholars believe a confectioner developed candy canes to represent jesus. the shape of the j was for jesus, or the shepherds staff. the white color symbolized purity, while the red stripes indicated blood. peppermint is similar to hyssop, the middle eastern mint mentioned in the bible. christmas cards 圣诞贺卡 the custom of sending christmas cards started in victorian england. earlier, some adults had written christmas letters. but letters took time to write; and people wanting to share seasons greetings with many others had a daunting task. in 1843, british businessman sir hey cole asked artist john calcott horsley to print some christmas cards. one thousand cards were printed in black and white and then colored by hand. the cards, which depicted a happy family raising a toast to the recipient, were criticized for promoting drunkenness. in 1851 richard pease, a variety store owner, commissioned the first printed christmas card in the u.s. london printers charles goodall sons became the first to mass-produce christmas cards. in 1862 they created cards saying “a merry christmas.” later, they designed cards with various designs, including robins, holly, mangers, snowmen, and even little red riding hood. （ps：最后献上比伯另一首the christmas song） 嘿嘿，觉得还不错，记得关注wetrans唯译哦，我们会坚持提供更多有意思且有意义的资讯，有翻译需求，想学英语，千万记得找我们哟，么么哒.【篇二：与圣诞节有关的英语单词】 与圣诞节有关的英语单词 圣诞：the birthday of jesus christ 圣诞歌：christmas carol 圣诞卡：christmas card 圣诞老人：santa claus 圣诞树：christmas tree 圣诞快乐：merry christmas 圣诞柴：yule log(圣诞节原木形大蛋糕) 圣诞节的次日：boxing day 圣诞晚会：christmas party 圣诞节日历：menology 圣诞节前夕(12月24日)：christmas eve 圣诞节期：christmastime 圣诞季节：yule，yuletide，yuletime 圣诞节快乐!merry christmas!
