4、ent 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
5、 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 t
6、he 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. Nicholas's arrival. The shoes were filled with str
7、aw, a meal for the saint's gift laden donkey. In return, Nicholas would 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 c
8、hanged 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
9、 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 u
10、ntil 1886, Nast created a series of Christmas drawings for Harper's Weekly. These drawings, executed over twenty years, exhibit a gradual evolution in Santa from the pudgy, diminutive, elf-like creature of Dr. Moore's immortal poem to the bearded, potbellied, life-size bell ringer familiar o
11、n street corners across America today. Nast's cartoons also showed the world how Santa spent his entire year constructing toys, checking on children's behavior, reading their requests for special gifts. His images were incorporated into the Santa lore.Santa is known throughout the world in m
12、any 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)圣诞老人的传闻在数千年前的斯堪的纳维亚半岛即出现。北欧神话中司才智，艺术，诗词，斗争的奥丁神，寒冬季节，骑上他那八脚马坐
13、骑驰骋于天际海角，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。据异教传闻，圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。也有传闻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，故事情节大多被渐忘，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，圣童手持圣诞树驾临人间，随着世事变迁，作家和艺术家起先把圣诞老人描述成我们今日熟识的着红装，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说明。在德国，传闻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，视察人们的行为，尤其是小
14、孩，假如表现好，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纳此传闻来激励孩子们听话。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宠爱的象征和传统。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欢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建立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闻在各个国家都各具特色。12世纪欧洲出现了圣人Nicholas纪念日
15、，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的美国形象后来渐渐演化成一个欢乐的老精灵。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印象中接着将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年头卡通制作者Thomas Nash画了一幅
16、胖胖的、慈爱的圣诞老人作为Harper的一周的插图。这个圣诞老人的形象起先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。很多国家都保存了他们自己有关圣诞老人的风俗和传闻。在荷兰的传闻中，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，书中描述了全部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
17、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重，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。 20xx圣诞节英语作文(二) It was one of the last days before Christmas, and
18、 the as sistants in the large store had their hands full serving eager Christmas shoppers.At one counter an old lady was choosing gloves red ones for her daugher in law, light blue ones for her niece, pink ones for her grand daughter, green ones for her sister and by the time she had found what she

22、apped up and paid for as well, and as the girl was about to turn to the next customer, the old lady handed her a little parcel and said, "These now, dear, these are for you and thank you for being so patient. I do hope you have a merry Christmas !"那是圣诞前的一天，在一所大商店里，售货员都忙着为那些渴望购物的顾客服务。在一个柜台前
23、，一位老太太在选择手套：红色的是买给她儿媳的;淡蓝色的是买给她侄女的;粉红色的是买给她孙女的，绿色的是买给她妹妹的，等她将全部她要买的选好的时候，柜台上已放满了各种颜色、大小不一的手套。最终女售货员开了发票，疲乏地说了声“特别感谢，太太”，刚要转向下一个顾客时，老太太突然叫了起来，“哦，我差点忘了”“还要别的什么吗，太太?”女售货员问道。“是的，”老太太说了起来，“我想再买一双，不过我不知道该选什么样的。不知你能不能帮我选选。”售货员的回答是“当然可以，太太。”老太太接着说明说，她要买的是一双像女售员这样年轻的姑娘戴的手套。她一点也不知该选什么颜色。再说，选什么式样也是个问题。乏累的女售货员尽力地帮她选好一双手套。最终选好的手套被包了起来，也付了钱。当女售货员刚要转向另一顾客时，老太太把一个小包袱递给她说：“敬爱的，这是给你的，感谢你这么耐性。祝你圣诞欢乐。”
