Christmas Eve and Christmas are coming. Although it is a western festival, it is still popular in China. The following is a collection of funny Christmas pictures. Welcome to read~
Origin of Christmas tree
The Christmas tree is an indispensable decoration for Christmas. The Christmas tree first appeared in Germany. When Germans celebrate Christmas, they move some evergreen trees into their rooms, such as pines and cypresses, ivy, etc. The evergreen trees represent the eternal life that Jesus gave to people.
Martin Luther, a German, once planted a small candle on a pine branch to celebrate Christmas. He said that the candle symbolized the guiding light for people to see the baby. Now people use small neon lights. The top of the Christmas tree must be hung with a star, which is called the "Star of Bethlehem", symbolizing the star that guides the doctor to meet the baby Jesus. The star on the western Christmas tree is not hung casually. The star on the home Christmas tree should be hung by the head of the family, and the star on the church Christmas tree should be hung by the church responsible pastor. December 1 is the Lighting Day in the United States. The biggest Christmas tree at the door of the National Church of the United States should be lit by the President himself. The symbolic meaning of the "Star of Bethlehem" on the Christmas tree is to illuminate the darkness in the heart and guide people to see the true light - Jesus Christ, the savior of mankind.
Santa Claus
The prototype of Santa Claus is a very caring Christian. His name is Nicola, and later he was called "Saint Nicholas". He was born into a rich family in Asia Minor in 280 AD, and his parents died when he was young, leaving him a large fortune. Nikolay loved God very much and decided to be a person who shared his love with others when he was young. When he grew up, he became a preacher and later became a bishop. His life is a very loving life, often giving his money to the poor people.
Nikolay is a bishop. Many people know him, but he is unwilling to let others know his good deeds. So every Christmas he disguised himself, put on old clothes, stuck on a beard, put on a hat, dressed as an old grandfather and went to the street to distribute food, clothes and Christmas gifts to those poor and homeless children. In 1822, a Dutch missionary spread the story of the philanthropist to the United States, which was followed by the American people, and later spread to Asia and the world, spreading the custom of dressing up as Santa Claus to celebrate Christmas!
Christmas Songs
Say Never is a classic old song, meaning "forever". Every time I think of Christmas, I think of this song, just like eating dumplings on the winter solstice. The lyrics of the song are very impressive. There is a kind of lonely missing, but not lonely. In such a busy festival, if you have such a mood, you can listen to the song, and you will have a different feeling.
Jingle bells is a Christmas song that almost everyone hums, and Christmas comes with this song every year. "Jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way", do you feel full of Christmas breath?
The song "white christmas" can be said to have the same sign as Christmas. It is very popular, and it is not too popular to say that it has spread all over the world. It's very nice. I like it the first time. I believe you won't regret it.
Santa Claus is coming to town The story that Santa Claus puts a sock on the bed at Christmas and puts presents in the sock when you sleep. Maybe this song is about this story. Santa Claus, who is indispensable at Christmas, is also a very classic Christmas song.
The song "We wish you a merry christmas" was taught by my junior high school English teacher. At that time, it was sung sentence by sentence, which was very impressive. This song is very cheerful and simple, with a Christmas atmosphere. I still like it until now.
After listening to these songs, I believe you will feel a strong Christmas atmosphere. I also wish you a happy Christmas and a wonderful Christmas in advance.
