圣诞节活动英语作文：美国怎么过圣诞？

Christmas

…

you

heard

that

song?

Yup!

It's

Christmas

time!

This Christmas, I stayed with my

amazing experience to see how a typical American family would

celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.

Christmas,

like

our

Spring

Festival,

has

a

meaning

in

itself.

Christmas

Day,

which

is

on

December

25,

is

the

birthday

of

Jesus

Christ-- the son of God. That's why it is called Christmas. On

that

day,

Christians

would

get

together

with

their

families

to

celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious

meaning

of

Christmas

has

bee

less

emphasized.

To

many

families,

it is just a time of family reunion and the ever- exciting

present-giving.

Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11.

I

stayed

at

my

friend,

Stephen

Stapczynski's

house--his

family

was my

ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming

everywhere.

The

Christmas

tree

had

already

been

set

up,

and

on

every

windowsill,

there

were

Christmas

lights.

On

the

first

day

I

arrived

at

their

house,

Stephen

and

I

helped

Mrs.

Stapczynski

put

decorations

on

the

Christmas

tree.

The

tree

looked

so

nice

with

all

the

lights

on

and

the

beautiful

ornaments

dangling

from

its branches.

As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made

preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their

houses, inviting all their neighbors to e. So every night, if

you

went

out,

you

would

see

a

long

line

of

cars

parked

in

front

of some house--a party's on!

What's

more,

the

Christmas

decorations

that

some

people

put

on

their

windows

and

in

gardens

were

just

amazing

。

On

one

night,

we went out in our car for a

。

There was one

street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way

into

the

local

paper

。

We

had

a

hard

time

finding

the

well-hidden

street,

but

it

turned

out

to

be

worth

the

effort

。

Lights

shone

brightly

in

front

of

nearly

every

house,

on

trees,

bushes,

doors,

windows

…

everywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem

almost like daytime

。

Huge

inflatable

figures

in

the

front

gardens

were

waving

to

us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily

away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like

Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming

ever

so

brightly;

even

Bart

Simpson --a

character

in

the

famous

edy

The

Simpsons--had

joined

the

jolly

party,

wearing

a

Santa's

hat

。

The street set

off

a

lot

of

and

inside

the

car

。

4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street,

all there to see the lights

。

Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and

Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of

things

they

wish

give

them

for

Christmas)

for

a

long

time. I didn't want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis

were

so

kind

to

make

one

list

as

well

(Mr.

Stapczynski

told me if I didn't make one he would chop off my legs). So I

wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and

gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.

Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas

service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very

interesting experience for me. The priest started the service

reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine

Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.

I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this

principle should be part of our lives

。

After the priest

finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came:

Christmas

carols5

。

Christmas

carols

are

songs

that

people

sing

at Christmas, such as
