1. A Nativity play or Christmas pageant is play which recounts the story of the Nativity of Jesus. It is usually performed at Christmas, the feast of the Nativity. (Wikipedia)

2. A Christmas Carol in Prose, Being a Ghost Story of Christmas (commonly known as A Christmas Carol) is what Charles Dickens described as his "little Christmas Book" and was first published on December 19, 1843 with illustrations by John Leech. The story was instantly successful, selling over six thousand copies in one week and, although originally written as a potboiler to enable Dickens to pay off a debt, the tale has become one of the most popular and enduring Christmas stories of all time.
Contemporaries noted that the story's popularity played a critical role in redefining the importance of Christmas and the major sentiments associated with the holiday. A Christmas Carol was written during a time of decline in the old Christmas traditions. "If Christmas, with its ancient and hospitable customs, its social and charitable observances, were in danger of decay, this is the book that would give them a new lease," said English poet Thomas Hood.

こと座の1等星ベガは、中国・日本の七夕伝説では織姫星として知られている。
織姫は天帝の娘で、機織の上手な働き者の娘であった。夏彦星(彦星、牽牛星)は、
わし座のアルタイルである。夏彦もまた働き者であり、天帝は二人の結婚を認めた。
めでたく夫婦となったが夫婦生活が楽しく、織姫は機を織らなくなり、夏彦は牛を追わなくなった。
このため天帝は怒り、2人を天の川を隔てて引き離したが、年に1度、
7月7日だけ会うことを許されていた。しかし7月7日に雨が降ると天の川の水かさが増し、
織姫は渡ることができず牽牛も彼女に会うことができない。
その時は、二人を哀れんでどこからか無数のカササギがやってきて、
天の川に自分の体で橋をかけてくれるという。
