于我们更多人而言，圣诞代表的是快乐、是分享、是团聚、是表达爱的时刻。今天的第一首诗名字叫做Christmas Time，为你讲述圣诞的含义。

Christmas Time

By Ronald Doe

Christmas time is finally here.

It only comes but once a year,

And it's a time to spread good cheer

To those we love and hold so dear.

Christmas time is a time of glee (欢乐),

A time when peace and love run free,

A time for those like you and me

To sit beneath the Christmas tree.

Christmas time is a time of joy,

A time to sit back and enjoy

The smile on each girl and boy,

As they play with a Christmas toy.

Christmas time is a time to share

The passing of another year.

Birth of Jesus, a joyful prayer (祈祷),

To show loved ones how much we care.

Christmas time is a time for song,

A time for us to get along,

To make us feel Lord Jesus strong,

Forgive all those who did us wrong.

Christmas time is a time to pray,

Put love and kindness on display,

Show compassion (同情) along the way.

Christmas time should be every day.

在一年一度的圣诞节，我们总是喜欢给身边重要的人送去祝福，祝TA平安，祝TA快乐。Stan要给你念的第二首诗题目叫做My Christmas Wish To YOU.

My Christmas Wish To YOU

By Catherine Pulsifer 

If I could wish a wish for you, 

it would be for peace, faith, and happiness 

not only at Christmas, 

but for the whole year through! 

I wish that there always be food on your table. 

That you always give to those less fortunate. 

May you always take time to share, 

and thank those who have blessed you. 

I wish for time, so you may reflect 

on the blessings that you have, 

and that you express your love

to those who are dear to you. 

May you never feel lonely, 

because there are those who care. 

That you realize: you are special, 

you are unique, you make a difference, 

not only at Christmas, but all year! 

I wish for your thoughts to be positive ones, 

that you never quit, that you never give up, 

and that you continue to learn. 

I wish for the love, and peace of God, 

to be yours always.
