圣誕節(jié)英語小故事：圣誕老人的傳說 （中英雙語）

Chrismas Father was the descendant of a deity called Odin. It's also said that Chrismas Father comes from San Nichola, so he is also called St.Nicholas. He was the bishop of Asia Minor city of Rafah and he was called a man of God after his death. He is an old man in red clothes and he wears a red hat.He has white mustache. He comes from the north on a blowmobile every Chrismas Day. He went into people's houses by the track and he put the presents into children's socks. So in western countries,parents put the gifts to their kids in kids' socks and put them on the head of the bed on Chrismas Eve. On the second day, the first thing after kids wake up is to find the presents from Chrismas Fathers.

圣誕老人為奧丁神后裔。 也傳說稱圣誕老人由圣•尼古拉而來，所以圣誕老人也稱St.Nicholas。據(jù)說他原是小亞細(xì)亞每拉城的主教，名叫圣尼古拉，死后被尊為圣徒，是一位身穿紅袍、頭戴紅帽的白胡子老頭。每年圣誕節(jié)他駕著鹿拉的雪橇從北方而來，由煙囪進(jìn)入各家，把圣誕禮物裝在襪子里掛在孩子們的床頭上或火爐前。所以，西方人過圣誕節(jié)時，父母把給孩子的圣誕禮物裝在襪子里，圣誕夜時掛在孩子們的床頭上。第二天，孩子們醒來后的第一件事就是在床頭上尋找圣誕老人送來的禮物.
