《圣诞节在中国的研究性课题报告》英语的
The name Christmas is short for "Christ's Mass".A Mass is a kind of Church service.Christmas is a religious festival.It is the day we celebrate as the birthday of Jesus.
  There are special Christmas services in Christian churches all over the world.But many of the festivities of Christmas do not have anything to do with religion.Exchanging gifts and sending Christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the Christmas in the world.
  The birth of Jesus had a story:In Nazareth,a city of Galilee.The virgin's name was Mary was betrothed to Joseph.Before they came together,she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.Joseph her husband was minded to put her away secretly.While he thought about these things,Gabriel,an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him did not be afraid to take Mary as wife.And Mary will bring forth a Son,and he shall call his name,Jesus,for he will save his people from their sins.
  Before Jesus births,Joseph and Mary came to Quintus was governing Syria.So all went to be registered,everyone to his own city.Joseph also went up out of Galilee,out of the city of Nazareth,into Judea,to the city of David,which is called Bethlehem,because he was of the house and of the lineage of David,to be registered with Mary,his betrothed wife,who was with child.So it was that while they were there,the days were completed for her to be delivered.And she brought forth her firstborn Son,and wrapped him in swaddling cloths,and laid him in a manger,because there was no room for them in the inn.  And that,Christmas is the feast of the nativity of Jesus,is on 25th,December every year.But nobody know the actual birthday of Jesus.And the Christmas has become popular when Christmas cards appeared in 1846 and the concept of a jolly Santa Claus was first made popular in nineteenth Century.
The Chinese Spring Festival and the Western Christmas
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 fi’iendship.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.
I think we Chinese should pay more attention to traditional Chinese festivals such as the Spring Festival,the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.Observance of those traditional holidays increases cohesion of the entire nation.If those traditional holidays should disappear,it would be a loss to Chinese culture and to world civilization as well.On the other hand,Christmas is a season for people to be jolly.It is also an occasion for people to express love and other pleasant feelings.When family members get together for a huge dinner,they have a sense of warmth and closeness.When children receive gifts,they are excited,and their happiness is infectious.As the world has become smaller through globalization,Christmas has become more popular in many non-Western countries.
