Christmas Spirit圣诞节精神
Kenneth and Leslie raised their kids to have Christmas spirit. They do all the Christmas traditions, everything from decorating the house with lights to putting a star on top of the Christmas tree. The kids even think that Santa Claus is real. This all changed when Kenneth and Leslie"s son, Thomas, saw Kenneth put a bunch of Christmas presents under the Christmas tree late at night.
肯尼斯和莱斯利让他们的孩子要拥有圣诞精神。他们按照圣诞传统来做，把家里所有的装饰灯装扮的像一个星星似的放在圣诞树上，孩子们甚至认为圣诞老人是真。当肯尼斯和莱斯利的儿子，托马斯，看见肯尼斯在深夜里把一大堆的圣诞礼物放在圣诞树下时，这一切都变了。
Thomas gasped. He was upset that his parents lied to him. "Mom, dad, why didn"t Santa come this year? I saw you two putting gifts under the tree," he said. Kenneth and Leslie looked at each other with worries. "Well, son, the truth is, Santa didn"t have time to put them under the tree, so he gave them to me and your mom," Kenneth said. Leslie was impressed with her husband"s ability to come up with a lie so quickly.
托马斯喘着气，他父母对他撒了谎，感到不安。“妈妈，爸爸，为什么圣诞老人今年不来呢？我看见你们把礼物放在树下。”他说。肯尼斯和莱斯利面面相觑的忧虑，“好吧，儿子，这是真的，圣诞老人没有时间放在树下，所以他给了我和你的妈妈。”肯尼斯说。莱斯利对她丈夫这个迅速说出了谎言的这个事情留下了深刻的印象。
"You know, a lot of kids at school say that Santa isn"t real," Thomas said. "Well they"re lying, honey. They just want to make you feel bad," Leslie said. "Really? Well, can you prove it by bringing me to Santa Claus?" Thomas asked. "Well, we can bring him to you," Kenneth said. An hour later, Kenneth entered the house in a Santa Claus costume.
“你知道，很多孩子在学校说圣诞老人不是真的。”托马斯说。他们在说谎，亲爱的。他们只是想让你难过。“莱斯利说。“真的吗？你怎么证明？你能把我带到圣诞老人身边吗？”托马斯问。“好了，我们可以带他他过来。”肯尼斯说。一个小时后，肯尼斯走到了一间房间，穿上了圣诞老人的服装。
