24、ot;Christmas" brings warmth and joy to their hearts and homes. To some, it is simply a very popular holiday. But for many, it honors the birth of Jesus Christ. Here is a brief history of Christmas and some of the traditions connected with it. Why December 25th? Well, during the first two centur

25、ies after Jesus' death, Christmas was not celebrated at all. Various attempts were made to determine the date of birth of Jesus, and at first, May 20th became the favored date. By the middle of the fourth century, however, Pope Julius selected December 25th as the day on which to celebrate Chris

26、t's birth. Before that, December 25th had been a widely celebrated day in the Roman world. On that date, people honored a Roman sun god. Many modern Christmas customs, such as having a tree in the house and preparing special meals, came from this ancient celebration. Let's decorate the tree!

27、 The Christmas tree tradition was started in Germany in the late fifteenth century. At that time, there was a popular theater play which included a fir tree hung with apples.

28、y send? The first commercial Christmas cards were made in London in 1843. A rich man paid an artist to design a card. He then proudly sent it to his friends and relatives to wish them a "Merry Christmas." It was a good idea and it soon caught on. Today, Americans exchange millions of Chris

29、tmas cards every year. Santa Claus is coming to town! St. Nicholas was the original Santa Claus or "Father Christmas". He was widely known as a kind man who loved children. After his death, a story developed that he used to visit children on Christmas Eve and give them presents. When the D

30、utch people came to live in America many years ago, they brought their St. Nicholas, or Sinter Klaas in Dutch, with them. Sinter Klaas is therefore where we get the name Santa Claus. What's in that stocking? According to the story, the practice of hanging up stockings is connected with St. Nicho

31、las. It is believed that St. Nicholas learned about a man who was hopelessly in debt. He also learned that the man and his daughters were about to be sold as slaves. Nicholas went to the man's home at night and threw a bag of gold through the man's window. The bag of gold landed in one of th

32、e daughters' stockings that had been hung up to dry. Today, all the above traditions are still kept as ways of celebrating Christmas. 36.

37、d handle great amounts of informationbut it can't think about the information like we can. It has no feelings, no opinions, no moments of madness. Study the great human geniuses and you'll see that they all have special parts to their character, qualities that allow them to go beyond everyth

38、ing previously achieved. Their lives hold many of the secrets to having great ideas and putting them into practice. To be a genius you need to: Have fun. Leonardo da Vinci was well known for his jokes and funny stories. Galileo had a busy social life and was another great joker. Bill Gates, the worl

39、d's richest man, and the genius behind Microsoft, has been described as "a big teenager". He once said that one of his favorite hobbies was playing with earthmoving equipment on building sites! Be curious. Geniuses spend their lives asking questions about the world around them. Leonard

44、ften in the face of great difficulties. Be inspired. The answers you're looking for may be close byyou just have to know where to look. Travel is another good source of inspiration.
