It is said that there was a farmer who served a poor boy on a cold windy Christmas Eve and gave him a big Christmas meal. The boy cut a fir tree's branch and inserted it into the earth.

传说有一位农民在一个风雪交加的圣诞夜里，接待了一个饥寒交迫的小孩，让他吃了一顿丰盛的圣诞晚餐，这个孩子在离开的时候折了一根杉树枝插在地上。

He said, 'Every year this time there will be many presents on this branch. I wish I could pay back your favor by this beautiful fir tree.”

他说：“年年此日，礼物满枝，留此美丽的杉树，报答你的好意。”

After the boy left, the farmer discovered that the branch had grown up as a big tree.

小孩走后，农民发现那树枝竟变成了一棵小树。

Then he realized that the boy was an envoy of the gods. This is the origin of Christmas day.

他才明白自己接待的原来是一位神的使者。这个故事就成为圣诞树的来源。

In western countries, whatever you are, everyone will prepare a Christmas tree to increase the happiness of Christmas day.

在西方，无论你是什么样的人，过圣诞节时都要准备一棵圣诞树，以增加节日的欢乐气氛。

Christmas trees are evergreen trees like fir trees and they represent long lives. People put candles, flowers, toys, stars on the trees and they put Christmas presents under the tree.

圣诞树一般是用杉柏之类的常绿树做成，象征生命长存。树上装饰着各种灯烛、彩花、玩具、星星，挂上各种圣诞礼物。

On Christmas Eve, people sing and dance happily and they enjoy themselves around the tree.

圣诞之夜，人们围着圣诞树唱歌、跳舞，尽情欢乐。
