為了紀念耶穌大部分西方人都慶祝圣誕節作為他們的主要節日。在這段時間里，他們總是有好幾天假，所以他們可以全身心的享受這個節日。小孩們經常與他們的朋友聚在一起。大人都忙著裝飾他們的房子。他們還互相贈送明信片以及他們對彼此的祝福。在街上，有很多圣誕老人在派送禮物給路人。超市里面的所有東西都在打折。所以，超市是最忙的地方。

Inthe evening, the families usually have pudding, sandwiches, apple pies and someother desserts for dinner. After supper, the families always sing and dancearound the Christmas tree. Sometimes, they also go to church. Before going tobed, the children often hang up their stockings beside their bed, so thatFather Christmas will fill them with presents. It is said that Father Christmasalways drives a deer to the human world and entering into each house from thechimney. Now the children no longer believe in Father Christmas, but they stillhang up their stockings, because their parents will fill them with presents.

晚上，家里面通常都有吃布丁，三明治，蘋果派還有一些其它的甜點作為晚餐。晚飯后，家人們總是圍著圣誕樹唱歌跳舞。有時，他們還會去教堂。睡覺前，孩子們常常會把長統襪掛在床邊，這樣圣誕老人就會用禮物把它填滿了。據說圣誕老人總是騎著一只鹿到人類，之后從煙囪進入每個房子。現在的孩子不再相信圣誕老人的故事了，但他們仍然會掛上他們的襪子，因為他們的父母會用禮物把它填滿。
