1、President Bush Lights National Christmas Tree英语演讲稿December 5,20XXTHE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. With the lighting of the National Christmas Tree, we observe one of the great traditions of our nations capital. And throughout the Christmas season, we recall that Gods love is found in humble place
2、s, and Gods peace is offered to all of us. Laura and I are pleased to be with you at this Christmas Pageant of Peace, and we thank you all for ing as well.I want to thank Barbara for hosting this event. (Applause.) I want to thank all the entertainers for making the night such a special evening. Tha
3、nk you all for ing. (Applause.) I want to thank Peter and the board of directors and the production team for organizing this fine event. I appreciate Santa ing. (Laughter.) Looks like he needs a belt for Christmas. (Laughter.) Finally, I want to thank all the good people of the National Park Service
4、. (Applause.) The National Christmas Tree is a living tree and the Park Service looks after it every single day of the year.For nearly 80 years, in times of calm and in times of challenge, Americans have gathered for this ceremony. The simple story we remember during this season speaks to every gene
5、ration. It is the story of a quiet birth in a little town, on the margins of an indifferent empire. Yet that single event set the direction of history and still changes millions of lives. For over two millennia, Christmas has carried the message that God is with us - and, because Hes with us, we can
6、 always live in hope.In this season, we celebrate with our families - and deeply miss family members no longer with us. Thousands of families in our nation are still grieving over the terrible losses that came to them last year on September the 11th. We pray for their fort. We pray for the fort for
7、everyone who has lost a life this year.Our entire nation is also thinking at this time of year of the men and women in the military, many of whom will spend this Christmas at posts far from home. They stand between Americans and grave danger. They serve in the cause of peace and freedom. They wear t
8、he uniform proudly and we are proud of them. (Applause.)Laura and I wish every American family the blessings of this season, happy holidays, and a merry Christmas. And now we have the honor of lighting the National Christmas Tree. And joining us weve got two new friends, Samara Banks and Ben Schneller, to help us light this tree.Now, if everybody - you all step up here - (laughter) - get ready - please join us in the countdown: Five, four, three, two, one. (Applause.)
