 老外这样调侃圣诞老人,真的好吗?


圣诞老人(Santa Claus)别称Saint Nick、Kris Kringle、Father Christmas或Santa(爱尔兰英语的Santy),一位专门在圣诞节前夜时悄悄赠送礼物给小孩子的神秘人物,是节日主题的代表角色之一。


传说每到12月24日晚上,有个神秘人会乘驾由9只驯鹿拉的雪橇在天上飞翔,挨家挨户地从烟囱进入屋里,然后偷偷把礼物放在好孩子床头的袜子里,或者堆在壁炉旁的圣诞树下。他在一年中的其他时间里,都是忙于制作礼物和监督孩子们的行为。他通常被描述为一位老人,头戴红色帽子,大大的白色胡子,一身红色棉衣,脚穿红色靴子的样子,拿着装有礼物的大袋子,因为总在圣诞节前夜出现派发礼物。


圣诞老人让圣诞节变得格外让人期待,特别是小孩子。因为在孩子们真正了解圣诞老人之前,他们都笃信圣诞老人简直是神一般的存在,会给他们准备自己喜欢的礼物,甜美的度过一个快乐的圣诞。今天我们就来看下老外是怎么调侃圣诞老人的。
