聖誕樹的傳說中文
另一個傳說記載。據說有一位農民在一個風雪交加的聖誕夜裏接待了一個飢寒交迫的小孩，讓他吃了一頓豐盛的聖誕晚餐，這個孩子告別時折了一根杉樹枝插在地上並祝福說：“年年此日，禮物滿枝，留此美麗的杉村，報答你的好意。”小孩走後，農民發現那樹枝竟變成了一棵小樹，他才明白自己接待的原來是一位上帝的使者。這個故事就成爲聖誕樹的來源。在西方，不論是否基督徒，過聖誕節時都要準備一棵聖誕樹，以增加節日的歡樂氣氛。聖誕樹一般是用杉柏之類的常綠樹做成，象徵生命長存。樹上裝飾着各種燈燭、彩花、玩具、星星，掛上各種聖誕禮物。聖誕之夜，人們圍着聖誕樹唱歌跳舞，盡情歡樂。
聖誕老人的由來
美國人關於聖誕老人的概念源於聖-尼古拉斯，他生於公元280年的小亞細亞。衆所周知，他是個和藹、慈善的人;確實，由於他的慷慨寬大而成爲一位聖徒。
the concept of the american santa claus originated with st. nicholas, who was born in asia minor in 280 a.d. he was known as a kind, benevolent man; indeed made a saint because of his generosity.
爲了紀念聖-尼古拉斯，按照歐洲傳統，12月6日就是交換聖誕禮物的日子，也標誌着聖誕假期開始。
in honor of st. nicholas, december 6 became the traditional day in europe for the exchange of christmas gifts and the beginning of the holiday season.
荷蘭移民把他們關於贈送禮物的聖-尼古拉斯的形式帶到了美國，他們的發音是“sinter klass”。美國人不習慣於荷蘭發音，把他改爲“santa claus”，這就是廣受孩子們喜愛的、聖誕節標誌性的聖誕老人。
dutch immigrants to the united states brought with them their version of the gift-giving st. nicholas, known as sinter klass. americans, unaccustomed to the dutch pronunciation, turned this into santa claus, who is beloved as a symbol of christmas by children of all ages.
