Christmas Traditions

What are you doing awake?

你怎么还没睡？

I can’t sleep...

我睡不着……

But it’s almost midnight!

但都快半夜了！

Exactly. I’m too excited for Christmas morning. Also, I thought I heard Santa.

就是啊，我太期待圣诞早晨了。而且我好像听到圣诞老人了。

Really? How do you know it was Santa?

真的吗？你怎么知道是圣诞老人？

Well I heard that naughty boys and girls get coal in their stockings, so I thought I’d be nice and make Santa cookies. I even left out some milk. I heard someone in the kitchen eating the cookies, so I came downstairs!

呃，我听说调皮的孩子袜子里会收到煤块，所以我想还是乖一点，给圣诞老人做饼干。我还准备了一些牛奶。我听到厨房里有人吃饼干，就下楼来了！

Hmm... well I know that Santa won’t come down the chimney with you hiding behind the tree, spying on him!

嗯……不过我知道，要是你躲在树后面偷看，圣诞老人就不会从烟囱下来了！

Really?

真的吗？

Really! Let’s go back upstairs and get back to bed. That way, we can let Santa do his job. Then when you wake up, it will be Christmas already!

真的！我们回楼上睡觉吧。这样圣诞老人才能好好工作。等你醒来，就是圣诞节了！

OK...

好吧……

Hey, honey! Is that you? Don’t eat all the cookies - I want some, too!

嘿，亲爱的！是你吗？别把饼干全吃了——我也想尝尝！
