;;Christmas圣诞节;Christmas or Christmas Day is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ,celebrated generally on December 25 as a religious and cultural holiday by billions of people around the world.;Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world‘s nations， is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians,and is an integral part of the Christmas and holiday season. 圣诞节是一个世界性的节日，除了天主教徒和大部分的基督新教教徒会在这一天庆祝耶稣诞辰之外，近年来还有越来越多的非基督教徒也参与进来，圣诞节也是西方世界以及其他很多地区的公共假日。; 圣诞节的英语Christmas，即“基督弥撒”。有时又缩写为“Xmas”。“X”是希腊字母“Χ（Chi）”，是“基督”的希腊语 Χριστ??（Christos）中的首个字母。利用“Xmas”来淡化圣诞节的宗教色彩是一种常见的误解。 The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning Christs mass. It is derived from the Middle English Cristemasse, which is from Old English Crīstesm?sse.;圣诞节起源; 在基督教徒看来，圣诞节基于耶稣受难日。由于耶稣死亡的确切日期在四本福音书中没有明确记载，早期的基督徒试着去推测，得出大约在3月25日或者4月6日。根据圣经旧约预言救世主将死于整岁数或者他降临的某一个整年，基督徒以此来推算耶稣的生日：耶稣受难日加上9个月就是他的生日——12月25日或者1月6日。;然而，真正存在的是历史上的原因。12月25日原来是波斯太阳神（即光明之神）密特拉（Mithra）的诞辰，是一个异教徒节日，同时太阳神也是罗马国教众神之一。这一天又是罗马历书的冬至节，崇拜太阳神的异教徒都把这一天当作春天的希望，万物复苏的开始。当基督教成为罗马帝国的国教后，为了将当时大众所庆祝的太阳神之节（12月25日）与新的国教结合起来，所以把耶稣的降生日定为12月25日并进行庆祝。现在圣诞节的日期可能由于上述因素，罗马教会才选择这一天作为圣诞节。;By the early-to-mid 4th century, Western Christianity had placed Christmas on December 25, a date later adopted in the East.The date of Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with the day exactly nine months after the Annunciation, the date Christians believe Jesus to have been conceived, as well as the date of the southern solstice,with a sun connection being possible because Christians consider Jesus to be the Sun of righteousness“.;圣诞节习俗;The traditional colors of Christmas are green and red. White, silver and gold are also popular. Red symbolizes the blood of Jesus, which was shed in his crucifixion, while green symbolizes eternal life, and in particular the evergreen tree, which does not lose its leaves in the winter. 西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色，圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树。它是圣诞节的主要装饰品，用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花，
