11月1日 万圣节
11月1日万圣节是西方的传统节日。万圣节前夜，即10月31日夜晚 ，是儿童们纵情玩乐的好时候。它在孩子们眼中，是一个充满神秘色 彩的节日。夜幕降临，孩子们便迫不及待地穿上五颜六色的化妆服， 戴上千奇百怪的面具，提上一盏“杰克灯”跑出去玩。“杰克灯”的 样子十分可爱，做法是将南瓜掏空，外面刻上笑眯眯的眼睛和大嘴巴 ，然后在瓜中插上一支蜡烛，把它点燃，人们在很远的地方便能看到 这张憨态可掬的笑脸。 • 收拾停当后，一群群装扮成妖魔鬼怪的孩子手提“杰克灯”，跑 到邻居家门前，威吓般地喊着：“要恶作剧还是给款待”、“给钱还 是给吃的”。如果大人不用糖果、零钱款待他们，那些调皮的孩子就 说到做到：好，你不款待，我就捉弄你。他们有时把人家的门把手涂 上肥皂，有时把别人的猫涂上颜色。这些小恶作剧常令大人啼笑皆非 。当然，大多数人家都非常乐于款待这些天真烂漫的小客人。所以万 圣节前夜的孩子们总是肚子塞得饱饱的，口袋装得满满的。 • 万圣节前夜最流行的游戏是“咬苹果”。游戏时，人们让苹果漂 浮在装满水的盆里，然后让孩子们在不用手的条件下用嘴去咬苹果， 谁先咬到，谁就是优胜者 •

• 内，每每出现利益冲突和棘手矛盾和问题时，当权者往 往想方设法找一些大家都可以接受的某种共同点和结合 点，高举爱国主义的伟大旗帜，经过二百多年稳定而持 久的爱国主义熏陶，在一代又一代新老移民的灵魂深处， 筑成了一道坚不可摧的“美利坚意识”。 美国独立日 • 美国作为一个移民国家，或许民族和文化并不能作为爱 国主义的基础，美国人从立国之初，就有一种政治上的 制度优越感和道德优越感，这两方面的因素共同塑造了 美国人爱国方式的与众不同。美国人的爱国主义奠基于 共同的政治理念或者说“政治神话”上，从而超越了种 族和文化多样性。美国人相信美国是自己参与建设的共 同体，并且为自己这种组织共同体的方式而感到自豪， 也尊敬那些为这个共同体献身的人。所以在退伍军人纪 念日的巡游活动中，无论是哪一场战争的老兵，都会受 到人们大声的喝彩。

It is gift-giving time, party time, and vacation time. Students from elementary school through college have about 2 weeks’ vacation, beginning shortly before Christmas and ending soon after New Year’s Day. Many families go away for the holidays to visit relatives in another state, ski in the mountains, or sunbathe on the beaches in the South.
Another popular Halloween activity is to visit a “haunted house.” Usually you have to buy a ticket to get in. As you go from room to room, you meet one scary thing after another.
Christmas at the White House
Each year a theme is selected for Christmas at the White House, a tradition started by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in 1961.
The reason that Halloween is filled with scary images goes back more than 2,000 years. In ancient Britain & Ireland, October 31 was the last day of the year. It was the end of the growing season & the beginning of winter, a time of darkness & death. People believed that on this day ghosts returned to the earth, so it became a festival for the god of the dead. In order to scare the ghosts away, people built huge fires ＆ wore costumes made of animal skins.
gift exchanging Christmas carols Santa Claus
Christmas tree Christmas cards
Santa Claus, snowmen, bright lights, colorful decorations, bells, and the traditional songs—all these help to make December the most festive month of the year. In the northern part of the US, winter weather can be frightful. Yet even winter snowstorms cannot bury that contagious feeling of festivity. Why does almost everybody feel so good?

What comes into your mind when Christmas is mentioned?
Many people also like to make jack-o’-lanterns on Halloween. A jack-o’-lantern is a pumpkin that is hollowed out ＆ has a face carved on it. It’s put in a window or outside a house & a candle is placed inside so that the face lights up.
As Thanksgiving gets nearer, 2 of the best turkeys are chosen. The others become Thanksgiving dinners somewhere. One lucky bird is the winner & the other is the first runner up. The runner up is just in case the winner doesn’t behave. Both the 2 birds weigh about 45 pounds & look beautiful. People vote on the White House website to decide the 2 turkeys’ names. In 2011, President Obama pardoned a turkey named Liberty. And his friend, as well as his alternate, was called Peace.
Many of the original Halloween traditions have developed today into funny activities for children. The most popular one is “trick or treat”. On Halloween night, children dress up in costumes & go to visit their neighbors. When someone answers the door, the children cry out, “Trick or treat!” What this means is, “Give us a treat, or we’ll play a trick on you!” The people at each house then give candy or fruit or sometimes a few coins.
Liberty and Peace will not have to worry about a brine bath (brining the bird before it is cooked).
The two turkeys will spend the rest of their days on the grounds of Mount Vernon, the Virginia estate of the first U.S. president, George Washington. (the Disney World refused to receive turkeys since 2009)
What images come into your mind when you think of Halloween ?
Masks, children dressed in costumes, jack-o’-lanterns, haunted houses, witches, wizards & other horror items or spooky stuff.
The President will pat one of them on the head. Then the turkeys are pardoned! People won’t eat them & they’ll fly to Disney World & live happily!
The turkey pardoning began in 1947. Since then, every US president has pardoned a turkey on Thanksgiving. Where do the 2 lucky turkeys come from? Actually, each April, people prepare about 2,500 turkeys, give them the best food & let them live in houses with air-conditioning!
