For many British citizens worldwide, Christmas is a time to return home and spend time with each other. Traditional symbols of Christmas, such as trees decorated with tinsel, colourful baubles, a star and tiny fairy lights and a Santa Claus sitting in his sleigh with a sack of gifts pulled by reindeer, will be displayed all across the UK. Lunch on Christmas Day for British people typically includes roast turkey, roast potatoes, vegetables, gravy, cranberry sauce and a Yorkshire pudding, followed by a dessert of Christmas Pudding, set on fire before eating.

不论身在何方，圣诞节都是英国人合家欢聚的佳节。传统的圣诞象征有用银光闪闪的锡纸、五彩斑斓的饰品、璀璨闪耀的星星和美丽的仙女灯装饰的常青松树，还有坐在雪橇上的圣诞老人和身边驯鹿拉着的一袋礼物。圣诞节当天的午餐是一年中最丰盛的大餐，有令人垂涎欲滴的烤火鸡、烤土豆、烤蔬菜和美味的肉汁、红莓酱和约克郡布丁等，还有传统的圣诞甜点——火焰布丁。

Wellington College International Hangzhou was transformed into a sea of joy when we celebrated the Winter Fair last Sunday. On this festive occasion, Wellington pupils sang carols on stage, the Wellington community enjoyed delicious festive foods from various vendors, and Santa and the elf sat for family photos and shared gingerbread man and Santa hats, what a joy. After an exhilarating light show, the Christmas tree was finally lit in an exciting countdown. The event brought warmth and love to the hearts of those international residents staying in the city this Christmas. What an excellent fair to share this fabulous community event with all our loved ones.

在上周末，杭州惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校（即杭州惠灵顿国际学校）便迎来欢乐无限的英伦风情圣诞集市，整个校园都变成了一片欢乐的海洋。惠灵顿合唱团在台上高唱颂歌，感受节日的美好；惠灵顿社群齐聚一堂，共享地道圣诞美食；圣诞老人和小精灵与现场的学生家庭合照，分发可爱的姜饼人和圣诞帽，传递节日的祝福。在欣赏了别出心裁的欢乐灯光秀后，圣诞树终于在一片倒计时中点亮，绽放出琉璃般的耀眼光彩，为本次圣诞集市圆满地拉上帷幕。这场迎接圣诞节的盛大活动为惠灵顿国际社群增添了活力与温暖，让居住在杭州的外籍朋友们也能感受到自己家乡圣诞节的氛围。真是一场精彩的家校共庆的社群活动啊！
