4、 Christmas?,Task:,Imitate to introduce the Chinese festival,圣誕節(jié)簡介：,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)。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，它便成為一個全民性的節(jié)日，國家一年中最盛大的節(jié)日，可以和新年相提并論，類似我們的春節(jié)。交換禮物，寄圣誕卡，這

5、都使圣誕節(jié)成為一個普天同慶的日子。,,圣誕老人據(jù)說他原是小亞細(xì)亞每拉城的主教，名叫圣尼古拉，死后被尊為圣徒，是一位身穿紅袍、頭戴紅帽的白胡子老頭。每年圣誕節(jié)他駕著鹿拉的：雪橇從北方面來，由煙囪進(jìn)入各家，把圣誕禮物裝在襪子里掛在孩子們的床頭上或火爐前。所以，西方人過圣誕節(jié)時，父母把給孩子的圣誕禮物裝在襪子里，圣誕夜時掛在孩子們的床頭上。第二天，孩子們醒來后的第一件事就是在床頭上尋找圣誕老人送來的禮物。如今，圣誕老人已成為吉祥

6、如意的象征，不僅是過圣誕節(jié)時不可缺少的人物，而且也是歡慶新年時不可缺少的人物。,,圣誕樹：據(jù)說有一位農(nóng)民在一個風(fēng)雪交加的圣誕夜里接待了一個饑寒交迫的小孩，讓他吃了一頓豐盛的圣誕晚餐，這個孩子告別時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?！毙『⒆吆螅r(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。這個故事就成為圣誕樹的來源。在西方，不論是否基督徒，過圣誕

7、節(jié)時都要準(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。,Listen and judge T or F:,( )1. Chirstmas is on the 25th of November.( )2. They put Christmas trees in their home
