Father Christmas- -圣誕老人
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 by 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.
相傳在一千六百多年前,芬蘭巴里地方有一個老人,名叫尼古拉斯,他一生最愛幫助貧窮的人家。其中有一次他幫助三個貧窮的.少女,送她們三袋金子以逃過被賣的不幸。
到了1822年,由芬蘭傳教士把這位偉大的慈善家的故事傳到美國,扮圣誕老人漸漸地流行于世界各國。
據(jù)說,當尼古拉斯偷偷地把其中一袋金子送給其中一名女子時,他把金子從其中一個窗戶扔進去,恰好掉進晾在壁爐上的一只長襪中。于是,將禮物放在圣誕襪的送禮方法便傳到現(xiàn)在。
在平安夜里,孩子總會把一條條色彩繽紛的襪子掛在床頭,然后在襪子旁邊放杯熱牛奶讓圣誕老人喝,以讓勞苦功高的圣誕老人解渴,并送份大禮給自己。
