On this happy day of welcoming the new year,

今天我们聊聊圣诞老人呀！

jīn | tiān | wǒ | men | liáo | liáo | shèng | dàn | lǎo | rén | ya

today let’s talk about Santa Claus!

圣诞节一早，我的两个孩子刚起床，

shèng | dàn | jié | yī | zǎo | wǒ | de | liǎng | gè | hái | zi | gāng | qǐ | chuáng

Early on Christmas morning, my two children just got up,

就看见了圣诞老人送来的礼物，

jiù | kàn | jiàn | le | shèng | dàn | lǎo | rén | sòng | lái | de | lǐ | wù

and saw the gifts sent by Santa Claus.

非常开心地来告诉我惊喜，

fēi | cháng | kāi | xīn | de | lái | gào | su | wǒ | jīng | xǐ

They came to tell me the surprise very happily,

她们说，许的愿望实现了，

tā | men | shuō | xǔ | de | yuàn | wàng | shí | xiàn | le

saying that their wishes had come true—

一个是兔子娃娃，一个是冰淇淋玩具车。

yī | gè | shì | tù | zi | wá | wa | yī | gè | shì | bīng | qí | lín | wán | jù | chē

one was a rabbit doll, and the other was an ice cream toy car.

提前好多天，我就告诉她们要向圣诞老人许愿，

tí | qián | hǎo | duō | tiān | wǒ | jiù | gào | su | tā | men | yào | xiàng | shèng | dàn | lǎo | rén | xǔ | yuàn

Many days in advance, I told them to make a wish to Santa Claus,

想要什么礼物，

xiǎng | yào | shén | me | lǐ | wù

telling him what gifts they wanted.

有一个孩子犹豫不决，换了几次想要的玩具，

yǒu | yī | gè | hái | zi | yóu | yù | bù | jué | huàn | le | jǐ | cì | xiǎng | yào | de | wán | jù

One child was hesitant and changed the toy she wanted several times.

我告诉她，要快点决定哦，

wǒ | gào | su | tā | yào | kuài | diǎn | jué | dìng | ó

I told her to make up her mind quickly,

圣诞老人已经在打包礼物了，

shèng | dàn | lǎo | rén | yǐ | jīng | zài | dǎ | bāo | lǐ | wù | le

because Santa was already packing the gifts,

很快就要坐上鹿鹿车出发了。

hěn | kuài | jiù | yào | zuò | shàng | lù | lù | chē | chū | fā | le

and would soon set off on his reindeer cart.

头一天晚上她们也睡得比较早，

tóu | yī | tiān | wǎn | shàng | tā | men | yě | shuì | de | bǐ | jiào | zǎo

They also went to bed quite early the night before,

因为她们说，快点睡觉，

yīn | wèi | tā | men | shuō | kuài | diǎn | shuì | jiào

because they said, “Hurry to sleep,

不然圣诞老人就错过我们家了，

bù | rán | shèng | dàn | lǎo | rén | jiù | cuò | guò | wǒ | men | jiā | le

or Santa will miss our home!”

因为我告诉她们，圣诞老人飞过窗外，

yīn | wèi | wǒ | gào | su | tā | men | shèng | dàn | lǎo | rén | fēi | guò | chuāng | wài

I had told them that Santa flies past the window,

看到这家还开着灯，就飞走了。

kàn | dào | zhè | jiā | hái | kāi | zhe | dēng | jiù | fēi | zǒu | le

and if he sees a house with the lights on, he flies away.
