我不是教徒，可我喜歡耶誕節，喜歡那些佈置、歌曲、電影、卡片、慶祝活動......所有充滿濃濃節日氣氛的東西，即便那是商人營造出來刺激消費的氛圍。

我只萃取其中代表思念、團圓、感恩、祝福、希望的元素，在時間走到年終歲末的時候，讓自己被這些有力量的東西包圍。尤其是午夜時分，步出研究室因為溫差而被冬天清冷的空氣惹得忍不住打了噴嚏時，迴身看見一向靜默的校園被燈飾點亮，就好像自己的什麼也被照亮。

於是在這裡放一首歌，讓聽到這首歌的每一個你，和我一樣記得提醒自己，尤其是在最最充滿懷疑的低迷時候，重新燃起相信，然後，你會看見，即便可能還需要跨越一些距離，但自己最真心的祝禱將逐漸清明，實現在每一天走著活著呼吸著的生活裡。

When Christmas Comes To Town

La la la la …
I’m wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it’s far
He’ll find me at Christmas Eve
I guess Santa is busy
Cause he never comes around
I think of him when Christmas comes to town

The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas tear
It’s hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends you come around
It’s so much fun when Christmas comes to town

Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I’ve heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa’s on his way

Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I’ve heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa’s on his way

When Santa’s sleigh bells ring
I listen all around
The herald angels sing
I never hear a sound
And all the dreams of children
Once lies will all be found
That’s all I want when Christmas comes to town
That’s all I want when Christmas comes to town
