圣诞节（Christmas）
圣诞节是欧美国家一年中最重要的节日.它原本是耶稣基督（Jesus christ）诞辰纪念日,如今已成为西方国家全民性的节日,颇似中国的春节.圣诞节定于每年12月25日,而圣诞节节期（Christmas Season）往往持续二周.这段时期里,雪片般的贺卡飞往世界各地,电话线、通讯网频繁地传递人们的祝福和问候；大街小巷粉饰一新,商店橱窗前大减价、大拍卖的广告格外醒目；到处可见人们拎着大包小包的节日用品匆匆而过,到处可听见欢快的歌声和笑声.车站、机场里此时挤满了盼望回家的人群,因为圣诞节也是家人团聚的日子.无论外出多远,人们都会想方设法赶回家与亲人团聚.
新年（New Year's Day）
在西方国家,尽管圣诞节才是最大的节日,新年在人们心目中仍占有不可替代的重要地位.除夕之夜（New Year's Day）晚会是庆祝新年到来必不可少的活动.西方各国的人们都喜欢在欢快的乐曲和绚丽的光彩中喜气洋洋地度过一年的最后一个夜晚.此时,化装晚会特别受欢迎.来宾们把尊严和谨慎藏在面具之后,打扮得稀奇古怪.大家无拘无束,尽情玩乐,与平日的行为大相径庭.在英美两国,午夜钟声一响,参加晚会的人们还要手拉手高唱"友谊地久天长"这首著名的苏格兰民歌.
万圣节前夕（Halloween）
假如你在10月的某一天徜徉在美国、英国或爱尔兰等国的街头,忽然发现到处挂满了面目狰狞鬼脸.商店门外的音箱不时发出鬼怪凄厉的叫声,你应该立刻意识到一年一度的万圣节（All Saints's Day or All Holy Ones' Day ）再次来临了.
圣诞节Christmas
An Ancient Holiday
The middle of winter has long been a time of celebration around the world.Centuries before the arrival of the man called Jesus,early Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter.Many peoples rejoiced during the winter solstice,when the worst of the winter was behind them and they could look forward to longer days and extended hours of sunlight.
In Scandinavia,the Norse celebrated Yule from December 21,the winter solstice,through January.In recognition of the return of the sun,fathers and sons would bring home large logs,which they would set on fire.The people would feast until the log burned out,which could take as many as 12 days.The Norse believed that each spark from the fire represented a new pig or calf that would be born during the coming year.
The end of December was a perfect time for celebration in most areas of Europe.At that time of year,most cattle were slaughtered so they would not have to be fed during the winter.For many,it was the only time of year when they had a supply of fresh meat.In addition,most wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking.

Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks,of family gatherings and holiday meals.A time of turkeys,stuffing,and pumpkin pie.A time for Indian corn,holiday parades and giant balloons .
Throughout history mankind has celebrated the bountiful harvest with thanksgiving ceremonies.
Before the establishment of formal religions many ancient farmers believed that their crops contained spirits which caused the crops to grow and die.Many believed that these spirits would be released when the crops were harvested and they had to be destroyed or they would take revenge on the farmers who harvested them.Some of the harvest festivals celebrated the defeat of these spirits.
Harvest festivals and thanksgiving celebrations were held by the ancient Greeks,the Romans,the Hebrews,the Chinese,and the Egyptians.
