It is popular in
A Christmas Carol is a novel by English author Charles Dickens, first published on 19 December 1843. It tells the story of bitter old miser Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation resulting from supernatural visits by Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come. The novel met with instant success and critical acclaim.
While A Christmas Carol brings to readers images of light, joy, warmth and life, it also brings strong and unforgettable images of darkness, despair, coldness, sadness and death. Scrooge himself is the embodiment (体现) of winter, and, just as winter is followed by spring and the renewal of life, so too is Scrooge’s cold, pinched heart restored to the innocent goodwill he had known in his childhood and youth.
Scrooge is unfriendly to others.

Dear Mike,
　　How are you I’m really glad that you are interested in traditional Chinese festivals. There are many traditional festivals in China, such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Day and so on. I’d like to introduce the Spring Festival to you. Spring Festival is the most important traditional holiday in China. It usually lasts for 15 days.
Days before the festival, people clean their houses. They think cleaning sweeps any bad luck. They decorate their houses with
paper cuts. On the eve of the festival, family members get together and have big meals. Then they watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV. At midnight, they set off fireworks to welcome the New Year. During the festival, kids get lucky money from old people. People visit their relatives and friends. They wish each a happy year and good luck. How happy we are!
　　Best wishes!
　　Yours,
　　Liu Wei
Enjoy a song, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.

But behind all these things lies the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us.
这是一个倒装句。主语是the true meaning of Christmas: the importance of sharing and giving love and joy to people around us，谓语是lies，介词短语behind all these things置于句首引起句子倒装，是为了保持句子平衡，避免头重脚轻。

lie的过去式与lay的现在式同形, 故极易混淆。lay是及物动词, 意为“把…置于”, 而lie是不及物动词, 意为“躺着, 平放, 位于”。前者表动作, 后者表状态。如：
He laid his dictionary on the shelf.
他把词典放在书架上。
