圣诞老人英语故事1Chrismas 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.

圣诞老人为奥丁神后裔。也传说称圣诞老人由圣尼古拉而来，所以圣诞老人也称St.Nicholas。据说他原是小亚细亚每拉城的主教，名叫圣尼古拉，死后被尊为圣徒，是一位身穿红袍、头戴红帽的白胡子老头。每年圣诞节他驾着鹿拉的雪橇从北方而来，由烟囱进入各家，把圣诞礼物装在袜子里挂在孩子们的床头上或火炉前。所以，西方人过圣诞节时，父母把给孩子的圣诞礼物装在袜子里，圣诞夜时挂在孩子们的床头上。第二天，孩子们醒来后的第一件事就是在床头上寻找圣诞老人送来的礼物.

圣诞老人英语故事2On the 24th of December every year, children around the world put out milk and cookies in the hopes of luring a magic fat man into their home who will leave presents behind before sneaking into the house next door.

每年的12月24日，世界各地的孩子都会拿出牛奶及饼干，希望能吸引一名有魔法的胖男人来到他们家，并在偷偷潜入下一户人家前留下礼物。

How did such an odd tradition begin?

这样奇怪的传统是如何开始的？

You can pretty much blame Northern Europe, where the winter weather is cold and dark and depressing. And the coldest and darkest and depressingest day is the Solstice on December

21st to 22nd when the sun only gives a few weak hours of light if any at all.

你几乎可以归咎于北欧，在这里冬天的气候又冷、又暗、令人消沈。而最冷、最暗、最令人消沈的一天是12月21日到22日的冬至，这时即便有阳光，也只会带来几个小时的微弱光明。

These sun-deprived people invented magical characters to visit them and lighten the mood by bringing gifts and celebrations. These characters ranged from elves to Gods to goats, but there are two of particular interest to the modern story.

这些缺乏日光的人们创造出神秘的角色拜访他们，并带来礼物及庆典来放松他们的情绪。这些角色的范围从精灵到神、到山羊都有，但对现代故事来说，其中有两个特别重要。

The first is Saint Nick, in The Netherlands. Saint Nick is thin and perhaps a bit stern, but still brings presents to children in early December. He dresses like a bishop in red and white with a staff and rides on a horse named Amerigo, for whom Dutch children are encouraged to leave out a carrot. Saint Nick is called Sinterklaas in Dutch.

第一个是荷兰的Saint Nick。Saint Nick很瘦，可能还有点严苛，但还是会在12月初带礼物给孩子们。他穿着像主教一样的红白衣服，拿着权仗并骑着一匹名为Amerigo的马，
