传统的圣诞食物常常口碑很差——绿豆浸泡在蘑菇汤,潜在的原始水果蛋糕和靠一侧的无花果布丁,出于某种原因,使的颂歌唱“我们不会离开直到我们得到一些。”But Christmas fare is also a delicious combination of harvest feast foods, like turkey, squashes and potatoes; winter festival foods like roasted meats and an array of baked goods that outdoes any other time of year. Many novelty treats mimic other Christmas traditions: the Bûche de Nöel imitates the Yule log, gingerbread houses copy well-trimmed colorful chalets and cookie cutters turn out legions of trees, stars and Santas.

耶稣真的出生在12月25日?
在圣诞节期间,你可能会注意到在住宅光迹象显示或在教会董事会,愉快地宣布“生日快乐,耶稣”或宣布,“耶稣是季节的原因。”Of course, such messages are merely meant to remind people of the sentiment behind Christmas for Christians. But the signs do raise questions about the accuracy of Biblical dates and the history of the Church year.
