圣诞精神
很多人同意这一点:当我们想到圣诞节时,我们或许会想到礼物,圣诞树和圣诞老人。
但是在这背后存在着圣诞节的真谛:分享和给予我们周围的人爱与欢乐的重要性。圣诞颂歌的故事或许是这一点最好的例子
圣诞颂歌是查尔斯狄更斯写的著名短篇小说。他讲述的是一个叫斯克鲁奇的从来不笑的老人.他吝啬并只考虑自己。从不善待他人。他只关心他是否能够挣到更多的钱,他讨厌圣诞节。一个圣诞节的前夜,斯克鲁奇看到了他死去的合伙人雅各布马利的灵魂,马利过去就像斯克鲁奇一样,所以在死后受到了惩罚。他告诫斯克鲁奇,如果他不想走上自己的老路,就要改变生活方式。他还告诫斯克鲁奇将有三个幽灵来拜访他。

那天晚上三个鬼魂拜访了斯克鲁奇。首先,圣诞节“过去之灵”带他回到了他的童年,使他回想起他的童年欢乐时光。然后,第二个的幽灵圣诞节“现在之灵” 带他去看其他人如何过今年的圣诞节。每个人甚至穷人都很幸福
最后圣诞节“未来之灵”带他去了未来。斯克鲁奇看到他死了,可是没人在乎。他惊恐万分地从自己的床上醒来,发现已经是第二天早上------圣诞节了。
他决定改变自己的生活,发誓做个好人。他开心地同亲戚们一起庆祝圣诞节。他还送给礼物给需要的人。他现在对每个人都善良和热情,把爱和欢乐传播到所到之处。那就是真正的圣诞精神。
