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。,,圣誕老人據說他原是小亞細亞每拉城的主教，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：據說有一位農民在一個風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，報答你的好意?！毙『⒆吆?，農民發(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
