圣诞老人的故事英文简洁一点，急！急！！急！！！~

It is said that in the year of 300 AD, there was a kind old man and his name was Saint Nicholas. He was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them.
Today, Father Christmas is an imaginary figure, but nearly all young children believe in him. They think he is a happy old man with a long white beard and a long red robe.
On the night of the twenty-fourth of December every year, Father Christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace to put presents beside the beds of children or to fill their stockings. So when children go to bed that night, they hang up their stockings, and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course, it's really their parents who fill the stockings. Another name for Father Christmas is Santa Claus.

Vocabulary
Saint Nicholas 圣尼古拉斯
imaginary 虚构的
beard 胡子
robe 长袍
Santa Claus 圣诞老人

Halloween or Hallowe'en is a tradition celebrated on the night of October 31, most notably by children dressing in costumes and going door-to-door collecting sweets, fruit, and other treats. Apart from this trick-or-treating, there are many other traditional Halloween activities. Some of these include costume parties, watching horror films, engaging in vandalism, going to "haunted" houses, and traditional autumn activities such as hayrides, some of these even "haunted". A more complete coverage of Halloween customs can be found at Halloween traditions.

Halloween originated under a different name ("samhain") as a Pagan festival among the Celts of Ireland and Great Britain with mainly Irish and Scots and other immigrants transporting versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Most other Western countries have embraced Halloween as a part of American pop culture in the late twentieth century.

Halloween is celebrated in most parts of the Western world, most commonly in the United States, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Peru, and with increasing popularity in Australia and New Zealand. In recent years, Halloween has also been celebrated in parts of Western Europe.

The term Halloween, and its older rendering Hallowe'en, is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the evening of/before "All Hallows' Day" (also known as "All Saints' Day"). The holiday was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions, until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 to November 1. In the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although we now consider All Saints' (or Hallows') day to be on the day after Halloween, they were, at that time, considered to be the same day.

In Ireland, the name was All Hallows' Eve (often shortened to Hallow Eve), and though seldom used today, it is still a well-accepted label, albeit somewhat esoteric. The festival is also known as Samhain or Oíche Shamhna to the Irish, Calan Gaeaf to the Welsh, Allantide to the Cornish and Hop-tu-Naa to the Manx. Halloween is also called Pooky Night in some parts of Ireland, presumably named after the puca, a mischievous spirit.

Many European cultural traditions hold that Halloween is one of the liminal times of the year when spirits can make contact with the physical world and when magic is most potent (e.g. Catalan mythology about witches, Irish tales of the Sidhe).

It is said that there was a farmer served a poor boy on a cold windy Chrismas Eve and gave him a big christmas meal. The boy cut a Fir tree's branch and inserted it into the earth.He said, "every year this time. there will be many presents in this branch. I wish I can pay back to your favor by this beautiful Fir tree. " After the boy left, the farmer discovered(发现) that the branch had grown up as a big tree. Then he realized that the boy was an envoy（使者） of the god. This is the origin of the chrismas tree. 

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，留此美丽的杉树，报答你的好意。”小孩走后，农民发现那树枝竟变成了一棵大树，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。

Christmas is a Christian holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. No one knows the exact date of Christ's birth, but most Christians observe Christmas on December 25. On this day, many go to church, where they take part in special religious services. During the Christmas season, they also exchange gifts and decorate their homes with holly, mistletoe, and Christmas trees.圣诞节是基督教为了庆祝耶稣的诞生而设定的节日。没有人知道耶稣是在哪一天出生的，但是大多数基督教徒选择了12月25日作为圣诞节。在这一天，许多人来到教堂参加各种特殊的宗教服务。在圣诞期间，他们互相交换礼物用神圣的圣诞花圣诞树装饰自己的屋子。

For today's Christian， the origin of Christmas is， and should be， the birth of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible. Nothing more and nothing less. However， most of what we witness on December 25th each year has absolutely nothing to do with that blessed day， which probably occurred in late summer or early fall about 2，000 years ago. In fact， most of the customs and traditions of Christmas actually pre-date the birth of Jesus， and many of them are downright deceptive in their meaning and origin. Anyway， who cares when Christ was born？

Christmas Day，the 25th of December，is the biggest festival（节日）celebrated in the Christian countries of the world.Although everyone enjoys Christmas Day，it is particularly enjoyed by children，who get very excited because of the presents they know they are going to receive.Small children believe that their presents are brought by Father Christmas（圣诞老人）。Father Christmas is a kind of old man who，the children are told，lives at the North Pole.He travels through the sky on a sleigh（雪撬） which is pulled by reindeers（驯鹿） and loaded with（装满） presents.Stopping on the roof of houses，he enters by climbing the chimney（烟囱）。When small children go to bed on Christmas Eve，they hang a stocking at the end of their beds.Their parents warn them not to try to look at Father Christmas，or he will not leave them anything.When they wake，they find their stockings filled with presents.Children are very excited on Christmas morning and always wake up early.

Christmas is also a family celebration.As any members of the family as possible gather to eat，play party games and watch the special Christmas programmes on TV.

如今的圣诞节，按照圣经上的记载，应当起源于耶稣基督的诞生。这个解释不偏不倚，正好合适。然而，我们在每年的12月25日所经历大多数事情，和耶稣诞生的那一天没有任何联系。他的诞生，可能是在约2000年前的某个夏末或者初秋。实际上，很多有关圣诞节的习俗和传统比耶稣诞生出现的更早，其中一些是完全脱离耶稣诞生的意义和起源的。话说回来，谁又在乎耶稣是哪天诞生的呢？

12月25日的圣诞节是被世界上基督教国家庆祝的最盛大的节日。尽管每个人都喜爱圣诞节，但最爱圣诞节的还是兴奋的孩子们。因为孩子们知道他们将会在那天收到礼物。小孩们相信他们的礼物是圣诞老人送的。大人告诉孩子们圣诞老人生活在北极，他坐在装满礼物的雪橇上，驯鹿拉着雪橇，在天上。他停留在屋顶上，从烟囱爬到屋内。平安夜孩子们上床时，他们会把袜子挂在床端。他们的父母亲警告他们不要企图看圣诞老人，否则圣诞老人将不会给他们留下任何东西。当他们醒来时，会发现装满了礼物的长筒袜。孩子们在圣诞节的早晨是非常兴奋的，总是醒得很早。

圣诞节也是合家欢庆的日子，家庭成员们尽可能聚到一起吃呀，玩派对游戏呀，看圣诞特别电视节目呀
