Autumn days give us some fantastic and lively colours. Then, suddenly, the city is covered (覆盖) with a thick sheet（床单）of snow. It is during this special time of year that one of the most popular and enjoyed holidays in America comes: Christmas. This time is so special that schools often give students a two-week break from their schoolwork to enjoy the winter holidays.
My family takes this chance to spend two weeks together. We build a tree and decorate it with many colorful lights. On the top of the tree, we put a shining star. As night sets in, the dark room is warmly lit up by a bright Christmas tree.
Then, on Christmas Eve (前夕), our family have all the traditional American foods: turkey, sweet potatoes, vegetables, nuts, pies, and other good dishes. On this very night, there is an old story, named Santa Claus. Santa Claus will fly from the North Pole and give presents to the children under the Christmas tree. However, he only gives presents to those who have behaved（表现）well the whole year. So children across America try to do one last good deed（行动）before the night by baking (烘烤) Santa some cookies, trying to ask him for presents. This is why Santa is so fat!

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st-January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal (正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the new wear with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of (摆脱) bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (重新). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!
