圣诞节
圣诞节的假期是12月25——26日,但很多的企业和政府机关都从12月24放到元月2,3号的。虽然对基督教徒来说,圣诞节并不是其最重要的节日,但是在西方,它却是一个最受广泛庆祝的节日。圣诞节庆祝的是两千多年前弥赛
亚(犹太人盼望的复国救主)在巴勒斯坦伯利恒的诞生。这个弥赛亚就是耶稣(基督教信奉的救世主)。基督教徒相信,耶稣是被派来拯救人类并协助人们摆脱罪恶的救世主。如今,就算你已经忘记了这个节日的本来意义也不会有人怪罪你,因为,现在的圣诞节已经演变成为大肆消费、狂欢与纵情享受的节日。在这个节日里,亲人们、朋友间都会互送礼物,满载着“节日祝福”的贺卡也会送到每一个人的手中。“圣诞之父”(Fatherchristmas),也就是我们所熟知的“圣诞老人”(santaclaus),据说会在圣诞节前夕顺着烟囱下来,给世界各地的孩子们送去礼物,这些收到礼物的孩子必定是那些在过去的一年中各方面表现都很优秀的孩子。圣诞节的另一个重点是圣诞树,在这一天,人们会围着圣诞树跳舞,这也表明圣诞树是圣诞节形成之前的隆冬节日的重要组成
部分。
