祝同學聖誕節快樂🎄🎁🎅
★★★★★★★★★★★
1. Out of every 10 people, how many Americans celebrate Christmas?
美國人當中每十人有幾個慶祝聖誕節?
Answer: Nine in 10 Americans celebrate Christmas, according to a 2017 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, and around 55% consider it a religious holiday, while 33% think of it as more of a cultural celebration.
皮尤研究中心於2017年進行的一項調查顯示,十分之九的美國人慶祝聖誕節;大約55%的人將其視為宗教節日,而33%的人則將其視為一種文化慶祝活動。
★★★★★★★★★★★
2. Has Christmas ever been illegal to celebrate?
慶祝聖誕節曾經是非法的嗎?
Yes. The Massachusetts-Bay Colony ordinance of 1659 made Christmas illegal to celebrate in that specific colony. The law was repealed in 1681. Christmas didn’t become a state holiday in Massachusetts until 1856, though.
沒錯。 1659年的馬薩諸塞州灣殖民地法令讓在那個殖民地慶祝聖誕節是非法的,該法律於1681年被廢止。聖誕節直到1856年才成為馬薩諸塞州的國定假日。
★★★★★★★★★★★
3. How did red and green become Christmas colors?
紅和綠是如何成為聖誕節代表色?
We mostly have holly and Coca-Cola to thank for the rise of red and green as Christmas colors. Holly, obviously, has bright red berries and dark green leaves. It was used long ago by the ancient Celts for winter solstice celebrations as a symbol of protection and good luck. Coca-Cola’s role in making the colors a widespread combo for the holiday began in 1931 with ads featuring Santa Claus in a red and white suit surrounded by a green background and accents.
拜冬青樹和可口可樂所賜,紅色和綠色逐漸成為聖誕節的顏色。顯然地,冬青有鮮豔的紅色漿果和深綠色的葉子;古代凱爾特人很早以前就用它作為冬至慶祝活動,冬青有保護和好運的象徵。可口可樂讓這兩個顏色成為聖誕節廣為人知的組成則始於1931年,廣告中聖誕老人穿著紅色和白色的西裝,周圍環繞著綠色背景和符號點綴。
★★★★★★★★★★★
4. True or false: "Jingle Bells" was written to be a Christmas song.
「鈴兒響叮噹」是為了聖誕節而寫的對嗎?
False! The song wasn’t intended to be attached to the holiday. Some historical reports say it was first performed at a Thanksgiving church service. In any case, the lyrics don’t mention any holiday at all.
錯!這首歌當初和這節日沒有關聯。有歷史報導說這首歌第一次是在感恩節教堂第一次被表演。總之,歌詞當中根本沒有提到任何節日。
★★★★★★★★★★★
5. How many Americans use artificial Christmas trees?
多少美國人會用人造聖誕樹?
A survey conducted by Nielsen for the American Christmas Tree Association found that nearly 94 million U.S. households will display a Christmas tree this year. Of those, 85 percent are artificial.
尼爾森為美國聖誕樹協會所做的一項調查發現,今年有將近9,400萬的美國家庭展示聖誕樹,其中85%是人造的。
★★★★★★★★★★★
6. How much do Americans spend on holiday shopping?
美國人在聖誕節會花多少錢買東西?
The National Retail Federation reports that Americans plan to spend an average of about $998 this year on holiday shopping. That’s down from last year’s average of around $1,048.
全美零售聯合會指出,美國人預計在這個聖誕節平均花費大約998美元消費,相較去年的平均值1,048美元有所下滑。
★★★★★★★★★★★
7. True or false: People no longer send out Christmas cards.
人們不再寄聖誕卡片了對嗎?
False! The rate of sending any greeting card has gone down over the years, but this year especially, people are sending holiday cards as a way to connect with others during the pandemic.
錯!這些年來發賀卡的速度不斷下降,但特別是在今年,為了在流行病期間與他人聯繫,人們會發送節日賀卡。
★★★★★★★★★★★
8. What's the most popular Christmas song of all time?
歷史上最受歡迎的聖誕節歌曲為何?
Answer: The most recorded Christmas song of all time is "Silent Night," according to Time, whereas "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby holds the Guinness World Record for the best-selling single.
答:根據《時代》雜誌,有史以來錄製最多次的聖誕節歌曲是《寂靜的夜晚》,而Bing Crosby的《白色聖誕節》則維持吉尼斯世界紀錄的最高銷量。
★★★★★★★★★★★
9. Why do we hang Christmas stockings?
為什麼我們要掛聖誕襪?
Answer: The tradition came about thanks to a legend that states the generous Turkish bishop St. Nicholas helped a set of three poor sisters avoid a life of indentured servitude by paying for their dowries. For three nights, the bishop threw gold down their chimney, which landed in their stockings hung by their fireplace to dry. Now we carry on the tradition by hanging stockings to fill with gifts and small treats.
答:這個傳統來自於一個傳奇。故事說道,慷慨的土耳其主教聖尼古拉斯支付嫁妝幫助一組可憐的三個姐妹免除奴役。主教把煙囪裡的金子扔了下來共三晚,而金子掉入壁爐旁掛著的長襪中晾乾了。現在,我們透過掛襪子來放禮物和小點心來延續傳統。
★★★★★★★★★★★
10. True or false: There was once a real-life Santa Claus.
現實生活中曾有聖誕老人對嗎?
Answer: True! The Christian bishop Saint Nicholas was the inspiration behind the jolly man we all know and love. St. Nicholas, a generous, gift-gifting clergyman, lived in modern day Turkey and devoted his life to helping the poor, according to Biography.
答:沒錯!基督教主教聖尼古拉是我們大家都知道並且喜歡的歡樂男人(聖誕老人)背後的靈感來源。根據傳記,聖尼古拉斯是一位慷慨、會送禮的神職人員,住在現代土耳其,一生致力於幫助窮人。
★★★★★★★★★★★
Bonus Question: Can you still say Merry Christmas?
I will leave this question to you.
你還能再說「聖誕快樂」嗎?還是要講別的說法? 這問題的答案留給你好好思考。

It’s that time of the year again…every year, before the school holidays, the kids will normally have a Christmas performance at their school. Since we don’t celebrate Christmas, Fatimah and Ali are struggling to memorise the lyrics to the Christmas songs which they have to sing at their Christmas performance. So their Lalajee @theomarmukhtar has decided to pitch in and help them out - bless him! 🥰
#littlemomentsthatmakemyheartflutter 💓
p/s: Sorry, I got sooo carried away listening to Mukhtar singing ‘Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer’ that I completely forgot to turn the camera to the other side to record Fatimah and Ali singing and dancing to the Christmas song! 😅

大家前陣子應該都有被鯊魚寶寶洗腦過一陣吧?
今天再來逆行洗腦各位一波~~~~
可可愛愛的旋律嘴角忍不住上揚,加上輕快洗腦節奏,大人小孩都難逃鯊魚寶寶的手掌心!
⠀
2020年發生太多震驚事,以後孩子歷史考卷,不知道年代答案的填2020年應該都有可能是正解吧XD
漢堡王甚至太想告別2020,直接跳過5個月,已經開始慶祝聖誕節了!
所以今天的鯊魚寶寶,希望帶回到童年孩子心,最純真無憂無慮的時候。
⠀
Baby Shark最後歌詞是safe at last (沒事了)是不是超級可愛,也非常適合現在的時節?這首歌也有被改編成可愛的洗手歌,所以大家請聽鯊魚寶寶的話,多洗手,好好撐過疫情喔!
特別感謝2D cafe 提供場地❤️❤️
覺得想朝聖的人可以去 @2d.cafetw 喝杯咖啡呦😎😎

Bet you all have been brainwashed by Baby Shark lol
But that's not the last, today I'm gotta "rephrase"my own style Baby Shark!
⠀
2020 has not been very kind so far and even Burger King celebrates Christmas in July because like many of us, they have had enough of 2020. We all have had enough of 2020!!!
Sameeee here so I hope to bring everyone back to the most innocent and carefree time of childhood through this cutie song.
⠀⠀⠀
The last lyrics of Baby Shark is safe at last.
Isn’t it super cute and quite suitable (coincidentally) for current situation?Baby Shark has also been adapted into the cute song for encouraging kids to wash hands so listen to Baby Shark, wash your hands, stay safe n enjoy my Baby Shark 😄
⠀
Feel free to come to Taipei Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Xinyi Plaza to enjoy more my live cover songs. Check it out on my Instagram stories! ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀

Lyrics
(I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD) : shorturl.at/bfrX6
I’m stuck self torturing
My meds are failing me
Internal clock in smithereens
Can’t fix this, I’m hopeless
My eyes are stapled open wide
As I lay down on my side
I am bouncing off these walls
As I focus on the clock
Time stands still but I cannot
I should strap myself in bed
I guess I'll sleep when I am dead...
(I'D RATHER DROWN) : shorturl.at/cnOU9
Thanks for treating me like every boy you meet
So please, come in and take a seat
Here's the part where I learn and you will teach
On how to treat people like a piece of meat
(HORRIBLE KIDS) : shorturl.at/cinFW
Why is it me they're after?
Couldn't they pick another one?
One day I'll spit their laughter
And bite their tongue
Horrible kids, would you look what you did?
It was your ignorance that formed a beast with your wit
Ba-da-da-da-bum-
(NIGHTMARE) : shorturl.at/zU049
I hear it creeping from the corner
And all I know is that I don't feel safe
I feel the tapping on my shoulder
I turn around in an alarming state
But am I losing my mind? I really think so
Not a creature in sight
But what you don't know...
(KILL THE LIGHTS) : shorturl.at/wABT1
So we all stand enthralled by this bland curtain call
And the truth we pursue as we all, we all beg you to
Kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
I'm afraid that the spotlight dried you up, whoa, whoa oh
Don't even think about it
Don't even think about it, no
We're begging you
To kill the lights, kill the actor, kill the actress
Or kill us all
(N.M.E.) : shorturl.at/huCIS
Remove the gag and step away he's suffocating!
You pull the strings day after day, that's why he needs a-
-break! From you! Bid your ass adieu!
A break! From you! Bitch, your ass is through!
Oh I hope he hears these words
Maybe next time he will learn
(PLASTIC PROMISES) : shorturl.at/jGHPY
Please, don't tell me that we're fine
I've got too much on my mind!
Isn't this too plain to see? Maybe, yeah!
'Cause we lost too much to gain
We were dancing in the rain
Tell me what am I to do?
With a double dose of
(PARTNERS IN CRIME) : shorturl.at/gjNS3
You'll never take us alive
We swore that death would do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art
You'll never take us alive
We'll live like spoiled royalty
Lovers and partners...
Partners in crime!
(Wolf in Sheep's Clothing) : shorturl.at/swNP1
So could you
Tell me how you're sleeping easy
How you're only thinking of yourself
Show me how you justify
Telling all your lies like second nature
Listen, mark my words, one day (one day)
You will pay, you will pay
Karma's gonna come collect your debt
(Bleak December) : shorturl.at/djvC5
Watch you pretend, you know it all
Shift any blame aside
Vending the victim when it sells
How do you even sleep at night?
As I drive and drive
In that bleak December, you're just too cold
But I need the answer, before you'd fold
You would hold your cards inside your chest
I think I drove too far for that bleak December
And how full of shit you are
(The Haunting) : shorturl.at/aftLN
No one will love you like I did,
Will treat you like I did,
So go on wear that scarlet letter.
No one will love you like I did,
Will touch you like I did,
So good luck finding something better.

「快樂別遺漏自己」
今年和去年的聖誕節可能不是大家預期中那麼快樂。但在這亂世中,我想藉著這個節日去鼓勵大家。雖然人生路途會有很多痛苦的經歷,但我們仍然可以選擇像小孩一樣,純真地再次相信希望。

Lyrics:
成熟得太刻意
誰壓抑著幼稚
原來大了
愈擔心有瑕疵
誰漸失去主見
從眾選擇故事
寧願自閉
亦不敢再冒險
來 藉這晚改變
疼痛都是試煉
祈求上帝贈禮物於這秒
快樂別遺漏自己
信念無懼壓迫
有着誰能惦記
如深夜突然又自卑
對未來未看清
要知道不必完美
這經歷總有必要性
What is this illusion called?
The innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my only life I wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list
