关于圣诞节感恩的英语作文实用20篇

Dear Mr. Wang,

Hello!

Recently, our class held the "Beautiful Christmas Chorus Competition" activity, I was unable to participate in the school recitation team recording activity, so I feel very sorry.

Remember Monday, you asked the students: "these days there are two festivals - Christmas and New Years Day, which holiday do you want to celebrate? We happen to coincide with the selection of "Christmas", of course, this is also my favorite holiday, it can be seen that we love Christmas in particular. Although, the festival chose my favorite, but when the team leader, not so gratified. You let the students recommend, but for some reason, the students did not choose me. I think, if you can recommend yourself first, then let the students vote on it. Because only let the students recommend or vote, the recommended students may not want to be, while the equivalent students like me, but may not have the opportunity, do you think I said reasonable?

Teacher, in fact, this is a small matter, the most regrettable is not able to spend Christmas with my classmates. How I envied bu Qingyang the other day for his successful participation in the party! Do you know? That afternoon, during the rehearsal of the recitation team, we were absent-minded, dejected and extremely sad.

Teacher, in fact, I understand your work, you are also for our good, I just want to talk with you about my heart.

merry

The work is smooth

Song Yuxuan

"Who made the heart-inch grass, at a three chunhui", his father harsh rebuke of bearing wear infinite hope, in the mothers gentle care contains the infinite love, is that they use industrious arms supporting a wind through the rains home, that is they used a hot heart love tender young children, dont open of love! Let the children never go out you of is affectionate eyes. Although I cant make a great move, but its not aim at mothers day to send a bouquet of carnations, hang a call in fathers day, deep feeling ground say: mom and dad were laborious!

Both from the source of Thanksgiving, and our life experience, if you really have a grateful heart, just can enjoy life, feel the life really associating and goodness.

With a grateful heart to set foot on the journey of life road, let us be grateful, affliction, or suffering, you will get the perfect life!

“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖”，父亲的严辞责备中承戴着无限的希冀，母亲的温柔呵护里蕴含着无限的关爱，是他们用勤劳的双臂支撑起一座遮风撑雨的家，是他们用成热的心护爱着嫩幼的儿女，浓情化不开的爱啊!让孩子们一辈子也走不出您那双饱含深情的眼睛。我虽不能做出惊天动地的举动，但也不志在母亲节送一个束康乃馨，在父亲节挂上一个电话，深情地说一声：爸妈辛苦了!

无论是从感恩节的来源，还是我们的生活感受，只有真正拥有一颗感恩的心，方可欣赏人生，感悟人生的真缔和美好。

携一颗感恩之心踏上人生的旅路吧，让我们充满感激，不论是困苦，还是磨难，你将获得完美的人生!

Thanksgiving, is a topic that no one know no one knows all, yet very few people do reach the designated position.

From the parents to the teacher, from senior animals, to the wild animals... In this world there are a lot of people are grateful, then, lets listen to a fairy tale:

A female Wolf just had better take a Wolf, its husband was killed by a hunter, the hunter would skin male Wolf down, wearing it come to the side of the mother Wolf, in order to peel the female Wolf skin. Later, he and mother Wolf pups up, one day the Wolf came to her side to drive him go, hunter, this just understand mother Wolf has long been known that he is a person, because a mother Wolf and his life for a long time and dont want to eat him, he gave the male Wolf skin back to mother, tears in eyes after the Wolf goes.

Listen to the story, Thanksgiving this word in my heart, in the individual character, Thanksgiving let you awake.

Have you ever thought to mother wash feet, to father hit back at a time, do you have any experience their feelings, they in order to you can go through fire and water, if you are sick, they think: if you can, sick is our! But if there is no if in the world, really have if, then you also need to Thanksgiving? Dont need to, so there is no if in the world, but the gratitude is indispensable. There is love, because gratitude gratitude because there is love.

感恩，是一个无人不知无人不晓的话题，却又很少有人做的到位。

从父母到老师，从高级动物的人，到野性十足的动物……在这个世界上有很多人要感恩，那么，来听一个童话故事吧：

一只母狼刚生完小狼，它的丈夫被一个猎人杀死了，猎人把公狼的皮剥了下来，穿着它来到母狼身边，为的是要剥下母狼的皮。后来，他和母狼把小狼养大了，一天母狼来到他的身边驱赶他走，猎人这才明白母狼早已知道他是人，因为母狼和他生活了很长时间而不想吃他，他含泪把那公狼皮还给了母狼后便走了。

听了这个故事，感恩这一字眼在我心中油然而生，在一个个字符中，感恩让你清醒。

你有没有想过给母亲洗一次脚，为父亲捶一次背，你有没有体会他们的感受，他们为了你可以赴汤蹈火，如果你生病了，他们会想：如果可以，生病的是我们该多好啊!可是世界上没有如果，要是真有如果，那么还需要感恩吗?不需要，所以世界上没有如果，但感恩不可或缺。因为感恩所以有爱，因为有爱所以感恩。

Less little Christmas tree, Christmas is the feast of atmosphere, there are a variety of different legends about the Christmas tree.

A is said about the 16th century, the germans evergreen pine tree branches to house decoration, become a Christmas tree. Later, the German Martin Luther put candles on fir trees of the forest, and then lit candles, looks like the lead people to Bethlehem, today have to switch to pink small bulb.

There is a legend, long long ago, there was a farmer, on Christmas day met a poor child, he warmly received the children. Children stuck in the ground when he left broke off a piece of pine, pine immediately into a tree, are hung above the gift, thanks to the farmers kindness.

Christmas tree, first seen in Germany, and then to Europe and the United States, with its graceful posture, become the indispensable Christmas decoration. There are many types of Christmas tree, the tree is full of decoration, but the top of the tree, there must be a big star symbolizes the three wise men following the star to find Jesus, only the head of the household can hang up the star of hope.

少了圣诞树，圣诞节就少了过节的气氛，关于圣诞树有多种不同的传说。

一个是说：大约十六世纪，德国人把长青的松柏枝拿到屋中去摆设，成为圣诞树。后来，德国人马丁路德把蜡烛放在树林中的枞树枝上，然后点燃蜡烛，看起来像是引导人们到伯利恒去，今日已改用粉色小灯泡。

还有一个传说记载，很久以前，有一位农民，在圣诞节遇到一个穷苦的小孩，他热情地接待了这个儿童。儿童临走时折下一根松枝插在地上，松枝立即变成一棵树，上面都挂满礼物，以答谢农民的好意。

圣诞树首先见于德国，后又传入欧洲和美国，以其优美的姿态，成为圣诞节不可缺少的装饰。圣诞树的种类繁多，树上满是装饰品，但树顶一定有颗大星星，象征三贤士跟随该星找到耶稣，只有一家之主才可以把希望之星挂上。

Everybody celebrated Christmas, you received what gift I guess everyone is mom and dad to buy you but I am a Santa Claus. I have received Santa Claus gift for twice.

The first was in the previous year December 25th. That evening, I returned home from school, just take the door, I can think of is hung on the lamp Christmas gifts, and a letter. The day before Christmas, I gave Santa wrote a note. Wrote: "Santa Claus, I want to have a remote control car, finally is wishing you all a merry Christmas and a healthy body." Santas reply was, "thank you, you already have a remote control car, so I send you a Mickey Mouse." I even write my homework helping open directly, and it is a Mickey Mouse. Underneath there is a button, and then sing "the moon". When I heard this song, I feel like as happy to see Santa Claus.

Second is December 25 last year, and the last time the same, the same gift. I feel this is mom and dad gave me. But dad with an honest face told me: "Santa Claus has a real". I also mentioned this matter with classmates, classmates said affirmation is a mom and dad to buy me. Solve this problem is hard to over the past two years, I am a grain of salt. Today, I write this, my sister told me a story, named "the origin of Christmas old man" (true story).

In a long time ago, Santa Claus is a relatively wealthy people, every year December 25, his gifts to the poor. Later, he was dead, in order to commemorate him, there are a lot of people learn to do Santa Claus, gifts for the children (toy). Christmas is so memorable to me, how let me excited. Today, I finally solved the mystery, Santa Claus is really some, how much he care about me, my in the mind is how love him, when Christmas memories, I would sincerely a knowing smile.

大家都过过圣诞节吧，你们都收到了什么礼物我猜大家都是爸爸妈妈给你买的吧可是我是圣诞老人送的。我已经收到圣诞老人两次礼物了。

第一次是在前年的12月25日。那天傍晚，我放学回到家，刚一进门，我想不到的是灯上挂着圣诞礼物，还有一封信。圣诞节的前一天，我曾给圣诞老人写过条子。写的是：“圣诞老人，我想要一个遥控车，最后祝圣诞快乐，身体健康。”圣诞老人的回信是：“谢谢，你已经有一个遥控车了，所以我送给你一个米老鼠。”我连写作业都顾不上，直接打开，果然是一个米老鼠。底下有一个按纽，一按，便唱起了《月亮之上》。听到这首歌，我感觉好像见到圣诞老人一样高兴。

第二次是去年的12月25日，和上次相同，一样收到礼物。我感觉这是爸爸妈妈送给我的。但爸爸露着一张诚实的脸告诉我：“圣诞老人真有”。我与同学也提起过这件事，同学都说肯定是爸爸妈妈给我买的。这两年解答这个问题也很难，我是半信半疑。今天，我写这篇文章时，姐姐给我讲了一个故事，名叫《圣诞节老人的来历》(真实的故事)。

在很久很久以前，圣诞老人是一个比较富裕的人，每年12月25日，他都给穷人送礼物。后来，他死了，为了纪念他，有很多人学做圣诞老人，给孩子们送礼物(玩具)。圣诞节是多么令我难忘，多么让我激动。今天，我终于解开了这个谜，圣诞老人是真有的，他是多么的关心我，我心里是多么的喜欢他，每当回忆起圣诞节，我就会由衷地发出会心的微笑。

I like Christmas, it is just like our Spring Festival.

我喜欢圣诞节，它就像我们的春节。

Maybe the Spring Festival is much more important and interesting than Christmas, but I like Christmas Day better. Because we can spend time with our friends and classmates during Christmas. When it is snowy,

也许春节比圣诞节更重要和有趣，但我更喜欢圣诞节。因为我们可以花时间与我们的朋友和同学在圣诞节。当下雪的时候，

Christmas becomes much more lovely, just like in fairytales. I can imagine I am in a fairytale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. What a beautiful place! So we can also call Christmas “Snowy Lovely Day.”

圣诞节变得更可爱，就像是童话故事。我可以想像我在一个童话，卖火柴的小女孩是我的朋友，丑小鸭变得越来越漂亮等等。多么美丽的地方!所以我们也可以把圣诞节“雪可爱的一天。”

On Christmas Day, shops are red and green. There are so many Christmas cards, Christmas hats, Christmas dolls and many colourful things. So shops look very beautiful. We can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “Merry Christmas.” By the way, I think studying can also become much more interesting.

在圣诞节，商店是红色和绿色。有许多圣诞卡，圣诞帽，圣诞娃娃和许多丰富多彩的事情。所以商店看起来很漂亮。我们可以提供信用卡或一个玩偶我们的朋友说：“圣诞快乐”。顺便说一下，我想学习也可以变得更加有趣。

Christmas is coming, it also means a new year will come. Let’s study harder to welcome the new year!

圣诞节即将来临，这也意味着新的一年到来。让我们更加努力学习来迎接新年!

Alma mater, you do not stop working, you are a steady stream of a large number of elite. Without you, without us today, without you, there would be no future for us. It is you that shaped us; we are you, and we are in the light of hope. Today, we have to say goodbye, but you will always be in our hearts, you will always be a light to illuminate our forward. No matter when and where, we will never forget, we are a people, we must for the prosperity of pay, for a vigorous efforts.

Dear mother:

Maybe you would confused for my writing letter to you.Think back to the past twenty years,I suddenly find that I hardly have said to you "Thank you".I know you dont need my thanks,and you dont want any return as all mothers in the world,but today I still want to tell you:"Mum,thank you!"

You gave life to me.It was you who bear pain and danger gave birth to me.And from then on,you took it all you have dedicated to me.Your time,your work,your dream,it seems like they are not so important for you as before.I believe that I have been the most precious thing for you at the moment I born.Even if sometimes you get angry because of me.However in a very very long time,I took it for granted that what you have done for me.

Time flied,I have been a university student now.The situation at the entrance exam also like yesterday,I still remember your and my fathers eyes filled with concern.Twenty years,you sacrificed so much for me.I have grown up,and its the turn for me to take care of you. Mum,thanks and I love you!

你可能对我写信给你感到困惑吧。回想过去的二十年里，我发现我从来没说过谢谢你。我知道你不需要我的感谢，也不需要我的回报向全世界的母亲一样，但今天我还是想说，谢谢您，妈妈!

你给了我生命，经历了痛苦和危险的过程才生下了我。并且从那一刻起，你全身心地爱我。你的时间，你的工作，你的梦想都变不再重要。从我出生的那一刻开始我就变成这世界上你最珍贵的宝贝。即使有时你对我发脾气。但在很长很长的一段时间里，我都对你为我所做的心怀感激。

时间流逝，我已经是大学生了。高考像是昨天才发生一样，我仍然记得你和爸爸眼里满满的关怀。

20年，你为我牺牲了这么多。我已经长大了，是时候轮到我照顾您了。妈妈，谢谢，我爱您!

My Mother isa kind and gentle woman。 She is always very gentle。 She takes good care of her children and keeps them all at school。 I have one brother and two sistets。 So she gets four children in all。 She gives us every fort。 We all love her and she loves us also。

My mother has too much to do in bringing us up。 As our family is too poor to keep a servant， my mother has always to do very much work。 She gets up very early and sleeps very late every day。 She works hard， yet without plaining。

She is also a thrifty， and industrious woman。 She saves every cent that she can and keeps everything in order。 As she has been busy eversince she was young， she looks older than she really is。 Her face is wrinkled， her hair bees silver white， but she works as hard as ever。

Often she says to us， work while you work， play while you play。 If you do not work， you will bee lazy and of no use to society。 What piece of good advice this is! We must worth it well and always keep it in our mind。

December 25, Christmas day, is a foreigners New Year.

But I also had a happy Christmas, and my mother bought me a toy that I had been thinking about for a long time, a remote control plane. I was stunned when I received the gift. Because my mother had never promised to buy me before, it may be that I have done my homework these days to be more conscious, and I am very happy.

12月25日，是圣诞节，是外国人的新年。

但是我也过了快乐的圣诞节，妈妈给我买了我想了很久的玩具，一架遥控飞机。我收到礼物的时候，我都愣住了。因为妈妈以前从来都没有答应过给我买，可能是我这几天做作业比较自觉，才奖励我的，我开心极了。

The Christmas story also draws attention to all those people who are on the edge of society - people who feel cut off and disadvantaged; people who, for one reason or another, are not able to enjoy the full benefits of living in a civilised and law-abiding community. For these people the modern world can seem a distant and hostile place.

It is all too easy to turn a blind eye, to pass by on the other side, and leave it to experts and professionals. All the great religious teachings of the world press home the message that everyone has a responsibility to care for the vulnerable. Fortunately, there are many groups and individuals, often unsung and unrewarded, who are dedicated to ensuring that the outsiders are given a chance to be recognised and respected. However, each one of us can also help by offering a little time, a talent or a possession, and taking a share in the responsibility for the well-being of those who feel excluded.

And also today I want to draw attention to another group of people who deserve our thoughts this Christmas. We have all been conscious of those who have given their lives, or who have been severely wounded, while serving with the Armed Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The dedication of the National Armed Forces Memorial was also an occasion to remember those who have suffered while serving in these and every other place of unrest since the end of the Second World War.

For their families, Christmas will bring back sad memories, and I pray that all of you, who are missing those who are dear to you, will find strength and comfort in your families and friends.

A familiar introduction to an annual Christmas Carol Service contains the words: Because this would most rejoice his heart, let us remember, in his name, the poor and the helpless, the cold, the hungry, and the oppressed; the sick and those who mourn, the lonely and the unloved.

Wherever these words find you, and in whatever circumstances, I want to wish you all a blessed Christmas.add text here.

In your life, parents are the best, but you cant leave your parents in your life and repay your parents when you grow up. When you were a child, if you were sick, your parents would take care of you, even if you couldnt sleep, and watch over the night. If parents are ill, can you take care of your parents? When I was a child, my parents gave us a lot of things, which gave us a lot of happiness and gave us a lot of warmth. When you grow up and dont give back to your parents, do you think you will go? So we need to love our parents and be grateful to our parents.

Most westerners always celebrate Christmas Day as their major festival, in

order to memorialize Jesus. During that time, they always have several days off,

so they can enjoy this festival with all their hearts. The children often get

together with their friends. The adults are busy with decorating their houses.

They also send the postcards with their best wishes to each other. In the

streets, there are so many Fathers Christmas sending presents to the passers-by.

And everything is on a discount in the supermarkets. Thus the supermarkets are

the busiest places.

In the evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies

and some other desserts for dinner. After supper, the families always sing and

dance around the Christmas tree. Sometimes, they also go to church. Before going

to bed, the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed, so that

Father Christmas will fill them with presents. It is said that Father Christmas

always drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from the

chimney. Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they still

hang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents.

evely nation has its own folk festivals. Those festivals give people a chance to be away from their regular work and everyday worries to enjoy themselves and to develop kindship and fiiendship. The spring festival is the chief holiday in china while christmas is the most important redletter day in the western world.

the spring festival and christmas have much in common. Both are prepared hefiorehand to create a joyous atmosphere; both offer a family reunion with a square feast: and both satisfy the children with new clothes, lovely presents and delicious food. However, the chinese spring festival has no religious background while christmas has something to do with god and there is santa claus with white heard to bring children presents. The westerners send each other christmas cards for greetings while the chinese people pay a call on each other.

nowadays, some of the chinese youth has begun to celebrate christmas, following the example of the westerners. Perhaps they do so just for fun and out of curiosity.

December 25 is Christmas Day, the day is originates in the western country,

it is in honor of the birth of Jesus Christ. In the Bible, it is record that

Jesus saved people out of trouble, he is the son of god, he died of suffering

for the purpose of saving people. Jesus is so great, everyone in the western

country knows his story. Though Christmas Day belongs to foreign countries, now

it has become a worldwide festival. In China, we can find the day is more and

more popular, people find the Christmas tree sold in the shop and there are

parties to celebrate Christmas Day. On that day, families get together, having

dinner, eating turkey and sharing happiness. This is a good chance for people to

get reunion, this is the most important day for western people, just like

Chinese New Year.

"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas…"Have you heard that song? Yup! Its Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an 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. Thats 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 become 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 Stapczynskis house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than 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 come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a partys on!

Whats 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 "tour of lights". 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 comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santas hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.

We are supposed to express our gratitude to others on Thanksgiving Day. However, we should feel gratitude every day.

God has two dwellings, one in heaven, and the other in a meek and thankful heart. Be grateful to others is a way to show your love. In our daily life, we often receive help from our parents, friends, colleagues and strangers. Perhaps it is a little thing, pick up the pen you drop, lift a heavy box for you or offer you a seat in the bus. We should be thankful to them for whatever they have done. The more love you give, the more love you receive.

A sense of gratitude can acknowledging our interdependent existence. You will be ready to help others if you have a thankful heart. Therefore, a thankful heart is like a magnet. Not only will we attract more things to be grateful for, but also we will attract gratitude from others. “give thanks a little and you will find a lot.”

Gratitude is heaven itself. A sense of gratitude and indebtedness to others is and important wellspring of a generous and virtuous life. We now fall into a busy life, neglecting to be grateful for details, the beauty of nature, the comforts of modern living ,the love of parents and so on. People can notice these details and realize the friendship, love and happiness in our life with a grateful heart.

Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul. Be thankful for whatever you have, give and receive. Happy Thanksgiving today and every day!

我们应该向别人表达我们的感激之情在感恩节。然而,我们应该感到感激每一天。

上帝有两个住处,一个在天上,在温柔的和感恩的心。感激他人表达你的爱的一种方式。在我们的日常生活中,我们经常得到帮助从我们的父母、朋友、同事和陌生人。也许是一件小事,拿起钢笔你下降,或提供你抬起一只笨重的箱子在公共汽车上的座位。我们应该感谢他们对他们所做的。你所提供的更多的爱,更多的爱你。

感恩可以承认我们的相互依存的存在。你会乐于助人,如果你有一颗感恩的心。因此,一颗感恩的心就像一块磁铁。我们不仅将吸引更多的事情心存感激,但我们也会吸引别人的感激之情。“感谢一点,你会发现很多。”

感恩是天堂。一种感恩和亏欠别人,慷慨和善良生活的重要源泉。我们现在陷入忙碌的生活,忽视感激细节,大自然的美,享受现代生活的舒适,父母的爱等等。人们可以注意到这些细节,实现友谊、爱情和幸福在我们的生活中有一颗感恩的心。

感恩是源于灵魂的美丽的花。感谢你,给予和接受。今天感恩节快乐每一天!

感恩父母，总以为是一个简单的事，但做起来只有一个字，难。但是，我们得对父母只有两个字，感恩。

Thanksgiving parents, always thought it was a simple thing, but it is only one word, difficult. However, we have only two words to parents, thanksgiving.

如果我们非要父母的东西，父母往往会把东西给我们，难道这温暖你感觉不到吗?我们遇到困难，还不是父母帮我们解决?

If we want to parents, parents tend to give us something, is it you feel warm? We met with difficulties, not the parents to help us solve?

我们总是说长大后报答父母，父母等这一天可是等得太久太久了，我们应该要从小事做起，做每一个细节都让父母感动，长大后，父母等这一天也是开心的，感动的。

We always say that grow up to repay their parents, parents of the day but waited too long for too long, we should start from the little things, do every detail to let parents moved, after growing up, parents of this day is happy, moved.

我们应该报答父母，如果父母打你也是因为你调皮，很多父母都抱有望子成龙，望女成凤的期望，长大后，别辜负了父母对你的期望。

We should repay my parents, if parents beat you is because you are naughty, many parents have children, look into the Phoenix womens expectations, after growing up, dont failed to live up to what your parents expect of you.

The original Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, was born in the ancient southeastern Turkish town of Lycia early in the fourth century. His generosity was legend, and he was particularly fond of children. We know this primarily through Roman accounts of his patronage of youth, which eventually led to his becoming the patron saint of children. Throughout the Middle Ages, and well beyond, he was referred to by many names none of them Santa Claus.

Children today would not at all recognize the St. Nick who brought gifts to European children hundreds of years ago except perhaps for his cascading white beard. He made his rounds in full red-and-white bishops robes, complete with twin peaked miter and crooked crozier. He was pulled by no fleet footed reindeer, but coaxed in indolent donkey. And he arrived not late on Christmas Eve, but on his Christian feast day, December 6. The gifts he left beside the hearth were usually small: fruit, nuts, hard candies, wood and clay figurines.

During the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century, St. Nicholas was banished from most European countries. Replacing him were more secular figures, who in general were not at center stage at that point in history..The Dutch kept the St. Nicholas tradition alive. As the "protector of sailors," St. Nicholas graced the prow of the first Dutch ship that arrived in America. And the first church built in New York City was named after him. The Dutch brought with them to the New World two Christmas items that were quickly Americanized.

In sixteenth century Holland, children placed wooden shoes by the hearth the night of St. Nicholass arrival. The shoes were filled with straw, a meal for the saints gift laden donkey. In return, Nicholas would insert a small treat into each clog. In America, the shoe was replaced with the stocking, hung by the chimney.

The Dutch spelled St. Nicholas "Saint Nikolass," which in the New World became "Sinterklass". later changed to "Santa Claus".

Much of modern day Santa Claus lore, including the reindeer drawn sleigh, originated in America. Dr. Clement Clarke Moore composed "The Night Before Christmas" in 1822, to read to his children on Christmas Eve. The poem might have remained privately in the Moore family if a friend had not mailed a copy of it (without authorial attribution) to a newspaper and became part of the Santa legend.

It was in America that Santa put on weight. The rosy-cheeked, roly-poly Santa is credited to the influential nineteenth-century cartoonist Thomas Nast. From 1863 until 1886, Nast created a series of Christmas drawings for Harpers Weekly. These drawings, executed over twenty years, exhibit a gradual evolution in Santa from the pudgy, diminutive, elf-like creature of Dr. Moores immortal poem to the bearded, potbellied, life-size bell ringer familiar on street corners across America today. Nasts cartoons also showed the world how Santa spent his entire year constructing toys, checking on childrens behavior, reading their requests for special gifts. His images were incorporated into the Santa lore.

Santa is known throughout the world in many different names, such as:

Saint Nikolaas (Sinter Klaas), from the Dutch Father Christmas, from the English Kris Kringle, from the Germans Befana, from the Italians Bobouschka, from the Russians (a grand motherly figure instead of a male)

圣诞老人的传说在数千年前的斯堪的纳维亚半岛即出现。北欧神话中司智慧，艺术，诗词，战争的奥丁神，寒冬时节，骑上他那八脚马坐骑驰骋于天涯海角，惩恶扬善，分发礼物。与此同时，其子雷神着红衣以闪电为武器与冰雪诸神昏天黑地恶战一场，最终战胜寒冷。据异教传说，圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。也有传说称圣诞老人由圣·尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称St.Nicholas.因这些故事大多弘扬基督精神，其出处，故事情节大多被淡忘，然而圣诞老人却永驻人们精神世界。

每年圣诞日，圣诞老人骑在白羊星座上，圣童手持圣诞树降临人间，随着世事变迁，作家和艺术家开始把圣诞老人描述成我们今日熟悉的着红装，留白胡子的形象。同时不同的国度和文化对圣诞老人也有了不同的解释。在德国，传说他扮成圣童把坚果和苹果放在孩子们鞋里。他乘双轮马车四处漫游，观察人们的行为，尤其是小孩，如果表现好，将会得到苹果、坚果、糖等诸多奖品。坏孩子则得一鞭子。家长们灵机一动纷纷采用此传说来鼓励孩子们听话。大大超过了新年，成为一个全民的节日。圣诞老人已经成为圣诞节最受喜爱的象征和传统。他赶 着驯鹿，拉着装满玩具和礼物的雪橇挨家挨户给每个孩子送礼物的快乐老精灵的形象已深深地留在人们的记忆中。

11世纪末来自意大利的宗教士兵将Nicholas圣人的遗物带回意大利，并在港口城市Bari建造了一座教堂来纪念他。很快世界各地的基督教徒纷至沓来朝圣这位圣人。这些朝圣者将圣人Nicholas的故事带回他们的本土，所以有关圣诞老人的传说在各个国家都各具特色。

12世纪欧洲出现了圣人Nicholas纪念日，以互赠礼物和慈善活动为主。德国、法国、荷兰则将12月6日作为宗教纪念日，给孩子和穷人们赠送礼物。

荷兰殖民者来到美洲时，将他们的Sintirklass主教也带了去，Sintirklass身着红袈裟，骑着一匹白马。Sintirklass的美国形象后来逐渐演变成一个快乐的老精灵。起初美国作家华盛顿.欧文在他的喜剧《纽约的历史》中将他描述成一个又圆又胖的荷兰老人。1823年，诗人Clement Moore在他的诗歌《St.Nicholas印象》中继续将Sintirklass/Saint Nicholas的形象戏剧化，这就是各位在本篇开头看到的圣诞老人。

19世纪60年代卡通制作者Thomas Nash画了一幅胖胖的、慈祥的圣诞老人作为《Harper的一周》的插图。这个圣诞老人的形象开始深深地扎根于美国人民的脑海中。随着时间的推移，圣诞老人的形象传回欧洲，传到南美洲，传遍世界各地。

许多国家都保存了他们自己有关圣诞老人的风俗和传说。在荷兰的传说中，圣诞老人Sintirklass还带了一个叫Black Peter的助手，乘着一艘船于12月6日来到。他带着一本大书，书中描述了所有荷兰小孩在过去一年中的表现。表现好的小孩就送礼物给他们，不好的小孩便让他的助手带走。

德国的圣诞老人也带着一个叫做Knecht Ruprecht、Krampus或Pelzebock的助手，肩上背着个装着礼物的大袋子，手上拿着一根棍子。好孩子可收到他的礼物，顽皮的孩子却要给教训几棍子。

意大利的圣诞老人叫La Befana ;法国的圣诞老人叫Father Christmas或Pere Noel ;瑞士的圣诞老人叫Christkindl或Christ Child;斯勘的纳维亚地区的圣诞人叫julenisse 或 juletomte ;而英国的圣诞老人和法国一样也叫Father Christmas(圣诞之父)，他的形象比其它圣诞老人更庄严，更清瘦一些。北美的圣诞老人便是乘着驯鹿拉的雪橇来给孩子们送礼物的。
