To me, Christmas is a time of family and friends. Of giving and receiving. A time for baking and singing carols and playing silly games half way into the night. Christmas is a time for children and watching their eyes light up as they open something that they really wanted. It's a time of laughing and drinking and eating too much. And of course, the perfect back drop to all this merriment is the Christmas tree. It's green and tall and full. It's full of twinkling lights and ornaments collected over the years. You know, your traditional, average tree.

　　对我而言，圣诞节是亲朋好友相聚；送礼和收礼的好节日；是烘焙的好节日，是唱圣诞颂歌的好节日，是在半夜玩幼稚游戏的好节日；圣诞节是孩子们的节日，在圣诞节你能看到孩子们打开圣诞礼物时兴奋的双眼；圣诞节是随意吃喝笑的节日。当然，圣诞树正好完美地响应了这些欢笑；圣诞树又绿又高又丰满；闪耀的小灯和小饰品点缀着圣诞树；你知道，你们传统的，普通的树。
