哎呀~ 一轉眼又到了聖誕節啦! 想到去年的聖誕節不但要上班（...但其實也只是坐在辦公桌google一整天歷史至今未解開的驚悚案件 囧), 走進職員室很興奮的跟副校長說 “聖誕快樂！” 後迎來的也是一煞那茫然的表情跟禮貌性的微笑以及一聲 “啊 說得也是”。也因此今年回到鳥國的第一個聖誕節讓我更加享受並感恩有四處響起的聖誕歌，還有同事以及顧客間無時無刻傳來的半開玩笑的抱怨 ("噢 今年到底要給奧利佛什麼呢？之前每年都可以給他樂高 但今年他媽媽說實在太多了!" 還有 "天啊 我正慢慢的被這些聖誕歌折磨到死。"... XD) 果然西方國家的聖誕節雖然也多少被商業化，但還是少不了充斥大街小巷的歡樂節慶氣氛啊！:) 尤其在這裡聖誕節的到來也象徵著夏天的開始 - 能天天看著這陽光小鎮名副其實的越來越溫暖以及熱鬧，聽著小孩子充滿期待的笑聲，吃著色彩繽紛的夏季莓果... 實在是讓人不心情愉快也難 (還有至少Richmond Mall的聖誕老公公比Karori Mall的幸福多了 - 有閃閃發光的寶座還有比較多肯賞臉的小孩 XDD)
其實今天寫這篇是要推薦一個新發掘到的美國清唱團體Pentatonix! 前幾個禮拜在臉書上看到有人分享他們的新聖誕歌 "Little Drummer Boy" 後不禁覺得非常驚艷 - 雖然只有五個團員而且曲風很多都偏向美式的流行歌, 但他們完美無瑕的合音跟編曲讓每首歌都醞釀著令人起雞皮疙瘩的生命力。其中最佩服的是負責beat-box的Kevin Olusola以及負責男低音的Avi Kaplan - 雖然乍聽之下他們扮演的多半是陪襯的角色，但其實他們驚人的演出技巧才是讓整個團體發揚光大的關鍵所在。而既然聖誕節就近在眼前, 今天就來分享他們聖誕專輯中的其中一首歌。這首歌雖然簡單，氛圍卻很溫暖 - 彷彿邊聽著就邊坐在一個霹哩趴啦作響的火爐旁看著另一邊的聖誕樹在火光的點綴下散髮著柔和的亮光 :) 我也很喜歡它的歌詞~ 就好比在提醒大家要珍惜生活中的小確幸，並感恩有家庭團聚在一起的歡樂與幸福！祝福大家有個平安愉快地聖誕佳節囉~
| That's Christmas to Me | |
| Performed by: Pentatonix | |
| The fireplace is burning bright, shining along me | |
| I see the presents underneath the good old Christmas tree | |
| And I wait all night 'til Santa comes to wake me from my dreams |
|
| Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me | |
| I see the children play outside, like angels in the snow | |
| While mom and daddy share a kiss under the mistletoe | |
| And we'll cherish all these simple things wherever we may be | |
| Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me | |
| I've got this Christmas song in my heart | |
| I've got the candles glowing in the dark | |
| I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree | |
| Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me | |
| Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me | |
| I listen for the thud of reindeer walking on the roof | |
| As I fall asleep to lullabies, the morning's coming soon | |
| The only gift I'll ever need is the joy of family | |
| Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me | |
| I've got this Christmas song in my heart | |
| I've got the candles glowing in the dark | |
| I'm hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree | |
| Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me | |
| Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me | |
| Oh, the joy that fills our hearts and makes us see | |
| Oh, why? Cause that's Christmas to me | |
| I've got this Christmas song in my heart | |
| I've got the candles glowing in the dark | |
| And then for years to come we'll always know one thing | |
| That's the love that Christmas can bring | |
| Oh, why? 'Cause that's Christmas to me |
