On December 25th, the heavy snow began to clear, the dreamer cooked a small group of tea with snow water, so that the beauty sang to drink, and the rest of the dream was used to make palindrome poems. 》

Yan Yan jade bowl holds the slender fiber, messy with the remaining flowers and spits on the blue shirt; singing and swallowing the water and clouds in the quiet courtyard, dreaming of pine and snow falling into the empty rock; empty flowers fall into the wine and pouring the tank, the sun rises on the mountain and the snow rises to the river; the red roasted shallow ou new living fire, the dragon group small grinding bucket clear window.

Of course, on December 25, 2004, the heavens are not beautiful, and there are no conditions to boil snow and drink tea like the literati in ancient times, but there are also different wonderful things waiting for people in this era to discover.

For some countries, Christmas is the same as the Chinese people are for the Spring Festival. Rumor has it that it was a holiday to commemorate the birth of Jesus....

For Christmas, what Christmas Eve in the bedside socks (what if it's not new and not washed?), Christmas trees (anyway, there are few people, and there are no fear of landslides and mudslides caused by indiscriminate felling), turkeys (running pheasants, black chickens, mangosteen chickens...) Why do you have to use turkey? Besides, this method is hand-chopped, white chopping, yellow stew, drunk, and large... Let's talk about its techniques, frying, stir-frying, cooking, frying, exploding, boiling, burning, grilling, boiling, simmering, simmering, slipping, simmering, boiling, boiling, baking, just this big pile is not counting stewing, roasting, boiling, baking, baking, steaming, etc., than stuffing a few pieces of potatoes into the chicken butt, adding some rice wine, ginger, onion and garlic into the oven can be much better. Why not?)

Since Christmas is the equivalent of the Chinese New Year for some countries, it is essential to leave some myths and stories behind, so that it seems more reasonable to make this holiday and give a certain amount of legendary significance.

It's like why firecrackers are set off during the Chinese New Year, and according to legend, it is to drive away a fierce beast called the Nian Beast. As for why foreign countries put their socks on the head of the bed and smell them for a night, they almost suffocated and were reluctant to put them down, why?

Legend has it that once upon a time there was an old man named St. Nicholas, who loved to help the poor in his life. On one occasion, he helped three poor girls and gave them three bags of gold to escape being sold. When St. Nicholas secretly gave one of the bags of gold to one of the women, he threw it through one of the windows and fell into a stocking on the wall. So, put the gift in the Christmas stocking gift giver method to ask for candy from door to door!

In Norse mythology, the god Odin, who is a master of wisdom, art, poetry, and war, rode his eight-legged horse mount to gallop to the ends of the earth in the cold winter season, punishing evil and promoting good, and distributing gifts. That's why it's called Santa Claus.

Anyway, Santa Claus has his own words (I don't know how to write it uniformly), as for who is right and who is wrong, who is right and who is wrong, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and everyone argues in the end that they can't win.

The experience of both sides in dealing with these matters is comparable to that of neighboring Goryeo.

If you reason with him, he will play hooligan with you; if you play hooligan with him, he will talk to you about the legal system; if you talk to him about the legal system, he will talk to you about politics; if you talk to him about politics, he will talk to you about the national conditions; if you talk to him about the national conditions, he will talk to you about the convergence with you

You talk to him about integration, he talks to you about culture, you talk to him about culture, he talks to you about Lao Tzu, you talk to him about Lao Tzu, he pretends to be a grandson with you! You pretend to be a grandson with him, he talks to you about reason....

In the end, everyone was dry, and there was a big mess waiting to be cleaned up in their hands, and the last clapping "each has its own way!"

Of course, the 10 largest mythological systems in the world are 1. The common myth of Judaism and Christianity, Adam and Eve, 2. Greek mythology and the controversy between the gods, 3. Hindu mythology, cosmology and Brahma, 4. Ancient Chinese mythology, Pangu opened the heavens and Nuwa created man, 5. Japanese mythology, the earth is an island, 6. The bloody Aztec myth of ancient Mexico, 7. Ancient Egyptian gods, the world began in a state of chaos, 8. Babylonian mythology, where the goddess of magic created heaven and earth after her death, 9. Ancient Persian beliefs, Zoroastrian mythology, 10. Norse mythology, where the death of the giants' ancestors created all things.

Of course, going back even further, the entire mythological system is based on these five, including, ancient China, ancient Greece, ancient India, Northern Europe, and Mesopotamia.

Closer to home, the character of Santa Claus is a common product of Norse mythology, the common myth of Christianity and Judaism.

Of course, these fables and myths are not something that we ordinary people can argue about. Back to the topic, like Santa Claus, the root cause of its emergence has been recorded in history as an idea that merchants came up with in order to sell goods.

Legend has it that in 1822, after a Dutch missionary brought the story of this great philanthropist to the United States, merchants used this festival to make a lot of money every year by using special marketing techniques to advertise and make a lot of money, especially in Japan and other countries in Asia. Therefore, the custom of dressing up as Santa Claus to celebrate Christmas has gradually become popular all over the world.

Of course, these are all essays and gossip, just talk and listen, if it is serious, it can only be said that this article is pure fiction, if there is any similarity, it is pure coincidence.

Of course, in the hands of the family, with a punctuation, you can create many meaningful stories around this punctuation.

For example, Maupassant, Chekov and O. Henry are the best of them. Among them, there is an article in the junior high school textbook "The Necklace" by Maupassant. It was because of the induction of punctuation that an excellent short story was born.

The story about Christmas, there is such a touching story in my impression:

It is said that at the beginning of the 19th century, a 14-year-old boy named John lived in an orphanage in England. Life in an orphanage at that time was terrible, and orphans meant no one liked or loved them. The director of this orphanage has little love for the children, and there is no play, no sympathy, no understanding that the children love.

Children work all year round, getting up at dawn and working until dark. The only day of the year is Christmas when the children don't have to work and receive a gift - an orange. After John arrived at the orphanage, he looked forward to Christmas every year and this orange.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

In England, oranges were a rarity, both for John and for his companions. Every time the children get their hands on an orange, they treasure it for days, weeks, or even months – guarding, smelling, touching, and admiring it. Usually they keep it for a long time, and when they peel off the orange, they find that it is rotten.

Whenever Christmas is approaching, children will have a lot of thoughts and they will boast, "I'm going to keep my oranges for the longest time." John likes to put his oranges next to his pillow when he sleeps, and he puts them on his nose to smell its fragrance, and he doesn't dare to use force when he holds them in his hands, for fear of breaking the orange peel. Oranges can bring him a sense of security and wealth, so that he can temporarily leave the poverty in front of him and produce a yearning for a better life.

This Christmas, John's heart was very happy, because he was about to become an adult. He knew he was going to get stronger and would be able to leave the orphanage soon. He happily imagines his future, and he also wants to save the oranges for his birthday next year. If he keeps it and doesn't drop or touch it, he might be able to eat it on his birthday.

Christmas is finally here, and the children are so excited that they run to the restaurant. John smelled a different aroma than usual, and he ran briskly, because he was too excited, and his shoes didn't fit, and he fell to the ground, which caused a stir. As soon as John got up from the ground, he heard the dean yelling sternly, "John, get out, there are no oranges for you this year!" John burst into tears, and he ran back to the cold dormitory, hiding in the corner of the bed so that the other children would not see his pain.

After a while, the door opened, and his companions returned. Elizabeth walked up to him, with tears in her eyes, and handed John a cloth bag.

"Take it, John. She said, "It's for you." ”

John reached out and lifted the corner of the cloth bag, and saw that it was a large orange, but there were several cuts on the orange peel. He realized that it was his companions who had each cut a petal from their orange and put it together to make this big, beautiful orange, and John was very moved.

John will never forget the love his friends gave him that Christmas. His childhood was spent in a cold environment, but in his adult years, he gained friendship and love.

Later, John had his own business, but he never forgot the orange, and every time Christmas came, he would buy a lot of oranges and give them to the children in the orphanage, because he never forgot his dream that all the children could enjoy the fragrance of oranges at Christmas.

......

Of course, it is touching to say that it is not touching, but it is touching, right? For the native Chinese, there is no touching thing about Nezha cutting meat in the sea to return to his father and digging bones to return to his mother.

After all, it is not a system, it is equivalent to foreigners watching our movies, and our Chinese people watch foreign movies the same, and do not understand the connotation, except for classics and eternity, generally domestic movies want to have a good result in foreign countries, and most of them must be popcorn level, and few others will cause much turmoil.

(PS: I only found out that one of them ended here, and I unconsciously went on so much, I hope you understand...) ）
