Every family has special holiday traditions. Whether your holiday is almost fully planned, or you are still working to develop some of your own family traditions, here are 3 fun Christmas activities for everybody in the family.
每家每户都有自己的节日风俗。无论你已经把节安排的活动满满，抑或你仍在绞尽脑汁挖掘些只属于你们自己的风俗，这里列举了3个适合家人一起庆祝的圣诞节的活动，希望可以受到你的青睐。
1. Stocking Stuffers
圣诞节小礼物
Exchanging stocking-stuffers is one of most people's favorite Christmas traditions. Everyone in the family is required to buy a small present for every other person in the family and put it in his/her stocking. As an added twist, you can turn this into a game where everyone must guess who they think gave them the various items in their stocking.
交换圣诞礼物是许多人最喜欢的圣诞节风俗之一。家族的每个成员都要给其他所有人买一份小礼物然后放到他或她的袜子里。作为附加环节，你可以直接将这个衍生为游戏，让每个人猜猜谁是每个礼物的主人。
2. Share Your Favorites
分享最爱
This is a really fun activity to do while eating dinner or while sitting around the fire drinking homemade gourmet coffee. Simply share some of your Christmas”favorites” – whether memories, gifts, or songs – with family and friends. Take turns, or turn this into a game where people try to guess your favorite in a certain category. This game provides a wonderful opportunity for people to get to know each other better.
这个有趣的游戏非常适合在聚餐或者大家围坐在炉火旁喝着自制的美味咖啡一同享受美好时光时进行。只是简单的分享一些你关于圣诞节的“最爱”——无论是记忆、礼物还是歌曲——只要是和家人和朋友一起的一切。轮流分享或者直接作为游戏来进行，给大家某个特定的范围让他们来猜。这个游戏为让你们更好的了解彼此提供了绝佳的机会。
3. Go Traditional
回归传统
Christmas technically starts on Christmas day and is celebrated for the following twelve days. The four weeks prior to Christmas day are known as Advent, a time of expectant waiting for the Nativity of Jesus on Christmas day. Traditionally, Advent is more penitential than celebratory. As a result, some families do not decorate until Christmas actually arrives. Consider taking the more traditional route with your family, and wait to do all of your Christmas decorating until Christmas Eve or Christmas day.
传统来说，圣诞节从圣诞节当天开始连续庆祝12天。圣诞节前的四周被成为“降临节”，这段时间用来等待耶稣在圣诞节降临并根据传统人们需要进行忏悔、所以，一些家庭选择直到圣诞节到来才进行装饰。 如果考虑要和家人度过一个更传统的一天，就等到圣诞节前夜或当天再装饰吧。
