“圣诞节”这个名称是“基督弥撒”的缩写。弥撒是教会的一种礼拜仪式。圣诞节是一个宗教节日。我们把它当作耶稣的诞辰来庆祝，因而又名耶诞节。这一天，世界所有的基督教会都举行特别的礼拜仪式。但是有很多圣诞节的欢庆活动和宗教并无半点关联。交换礼物，寄圣诞卡，这都使圣诞节成为一个普天同庆的日子。
教会开始并无圣诞节，约在耶稣升天后百余年内才有。据说：第一个圣诞节是在公元138年，由罗马主教圣克里门倡议举行。而教会史载第一个圣诞节则在公元336年。由于圣经未明记耶稣生于何时，故各地圣诞节日期各异。直到公元440年，才由罗马教廷定12月25日为圣诞节。公元1607年，世界各地教会领袖在伯利恒聚会，进一步予以确定，从此世界大多数的基督徒均以12月25日为圣诞节。其实哪一天并不要紧，重要的是应该知道它是为纪念救主耶稣降生。
英文歌词:
Chrismas Day ------Dido
The young gentleman came riding past
on a snow-blue winter\'s day
He asked to drink by our fire and
I was pleased to let him stay
He drank there quietly for a while
and then he turned and said to me
Your eyes are green
Like summer grass
Your lips are red
like a fresh-cut rose
Your hair is soft
like an Irish stream
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty
And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
And the night will come but I won\'t sleep
as I watch the stars that lead him
I cannot place where he is
but still my heart goes with him
I\'m saving all my Sunday clothes for the day
that I\'ll be leaving
Father knows
My sister knows
And my friends
They\'re happy for me
And the priest he says
you should thank God
for the blessing of such beauty
And the last words I heard him say were
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
On Christmas Day
I shall return for you
My love...
And the last words I heard him say
Were the last words I ever heard him say
I shall return for you my love on Christmas Day
I said I will return on Christmas Day
And yes, I shall return on Christmas day
I shall return, for you, on Christmas Day
My love
I will return on Christmas Day
I shall return ,my love, on Christmas Day
On Christmas Day

歌手介绍:
Dido是一位创作型歌手。从她那敏锐的笔触下，歌词如泉水一般汩汩流出，时而朴实自然，时而欢欣愉悦；时而如清泉流过山涧，时而又似万流奔腾入海。她的创作源泉好似永不枯竭一般，让她驰骋于各种曲风领域而游刃有余。同时Dido具有天籁般的嗓音。她那高亢嘹亮的歌喉足以与Sinead O’Connor 媲美，但她又不同于Sinead O’Connor.因为Dido的嗓音还具有麻痹、沙哑、慵懒的一面。她那高亢嘹亮的声音让你兴奋不已，同时她那慵懒麻痹的声音听似有气无力，但却让你感到如此轻松惬意，无拘无束.
