If there is one tradition that Americans would surely miss in England, it would be the lack of decorative christmas lights.

如果有一种传统是美国人在英格兰难以见到的，那就是缺少了用来装饰的圣诞灯。

Our christmas lights are still up from last year.

It's getting colder outside, the christmas lights are going up, the nights are getting longer, and children are eagerly writing their wish lists for Santa Claus.

外面变得更冷了，圣诞灯也亮起来了，夜晚变得更长，孩子们迫不及待地写下他们给圣诞老人的愿望清单。
