圣诞节的故事

　　It is said that a farmer received a hungry and cold child in a snowy Christmas night and let him have a rich Christmas dinner. When the child said goodbye, he folded a fir branch and stuck it on the ground and said, "every year, the gift is full. Stay in this beautiful fir Village and repay your kindness."

　　After the child left, the farmer found that the branch had turned into a small tree, and he realized that he had received a messenger of God. This story becomes the source of the Christmas tree. In the west, whether Christians or not, a Christmas tree should be prepared to increase the festive atmosphere.

　　Christmas trees are usually made of evergreen trees such as cedars and cypresses. A symbol of life. The trees are decorated with lights, candles, colorful flowers, toys, stars, and Christmas presents. On Christmas Eve, people sing and dance around the Christmas tree and enjoy themselves.

　　据说有一位农民在一个风雪交加的圣诞夜里接待了一个饥寒交迫的小孩，让他吃了一顿丰盛的圣诞晚餐，这个孩子告别时折了一根杉树枝插在地上并祝福说：“年年此日，礼物满枝，留此美丽的杉村，报答你的好意。”

　　小孩走后，农民发现那树枝竟变成了一棵小树，他才明白自己接待的原来是一位上帝的使者。这个故事就成为圣诞树的来源，在西方，不论是否基督徒，过圣诞节时都要准备一棵圣诞树，以增加节日的欢乐气氛。

　　圣诞树一般是用杉柏之类的常绿树做成。象征生命长存。树上装饰着各种灯烛、彩花、玩具、星星，挂上各种圣诞礼物。圣诞之夜，人们围着圣诞树唱歌跳舞,尽情欢乐。
