Lesson 4 Christmas Memories of Christmas For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month of November. My sister, Alison, and I sat down in front of the fire and wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about all the presents we wanted. We seriously wrote “Father Christmas, the North pole on the envelope, before giving them to our mother to post. With December our excitement grew each day – as we opened the new year calendar, Christmas cards arrived in the post, Christmas lights appeared in the streets, and we attended the town carol service. And of course, there was snow everywhere. Enough snow to make snowmen, and to have exciting snowball fights in the school playground. On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate the house, put up the Christmas tree, the decorations and the balloons. Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived, everything was ready. Before we went to bed, we left some wine and biscuits for Father Christmas and then put our stockings at the end of our beds. We tries to stay awake as long as possible to see Father Christmas but the next thing we knew it was morning. Christmas morning! At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of kinds of small presents and sweets. Christmas morning was bright and I went out into the garden to play a lunch! Was bright and sunny and, after church, my with our new presents. Lunch was always late, but what a lunch! A big turkey with all the vegetables followed put so much food in my mouth sometimes that it was laughed at jokes, put on silly paper hats and laughed again. After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on television whole we all played cards. Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered eating. By bedtime all of thr children were very tired. As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, happy sleep. 圣诞节 圣诞回忆 对我来说，圣诞节总是开始在中间的冷，风的十一月。我的姐姐，艾丽森，和我坐在火炉前，写信给圣诞老人告诉他我们想要的礼物的一封信。我们认真地写了“圣诞老人，信封上的北极，然后交给妈妈寄。 十二月我们的兴奋与日俱增–为我们翻开了新的一年的日历，圣诞卡抵达后，圣诞灯出现在街头，我们参加了镇上的颂歌。当然，那里到处都是雪。足够堆雪人，并在学校的操场上有激动人心的打雪仗。 在平安夜，全家人帮助装饰房子，把圣诞树，圣诞装饰和气球。然后，在下午，当凯思琳阿姨和我的两个兄弟来了，一切都准备好了。我们睡觉之前，我们给圣诞老人留些酒和饼干，然后把袜子放在床底。我们试图尽可能长的保持清醒看到圣诞老人，但接下来我们知道它是早晨。圣诞节的早晨！ 在床的底部是袜子，现在满的小礼物和糖果类。圣诞节的早晨阳光明媚，我到花园里去玩一个午餐！阳光明媚，礼拜后，我与我们的新礼物。午餐总是很晚，但午餐！与所有的蔬菜大火鸡然后把如此多的食物在我的嘴有时是讲着笑话，戴上傻傻的纸帽子，再笑。 午饭后，大人睡在女王演讲前的沙发上电视全我们打牌。然后我们喝茶，吃一个巨大的圣诞蛋糕覆盖。到睡觉的时候所有的孩子们都很累。当我们把灯关了，我们都陷入了深深的，幸福的睡眠。 |
