背景音樂 : 《Christmas Can’t Be Very Far Away》
從上星期六 (12/13) 晚上開始,大西雅圖地區就下著大雪。許多學校不是停課就是延遲上課,在學校工作的聶先生當然也跟著賺了好幾天的假。
印象中這似乎是我來西雅圖後最冷的一個冬天。過去幾年這裡雖然也下過雪,卻不曾像今年這樣一連下了這麼多天。原本早在冬天來臨前我就盤算著如果今年下雪的話,一定要帶女兒出去堆個雪人還是打雪仗的,可惜這幾天加恩又病了,玩雪的計畫只有取消。不過因為加恩一直吵著想出去玩,我們只好讓她出去看個幾分鐘的雪,過個小癮。
過去幾天來我們足不出戶,哪兒也沒去。今天下午一家三口還是窩在家裡,一面望著窗外的雪景,一面吃著熱呼呼的越南麵,覺得很幸福。飯後趁著加恩午睡的時間,我一個人溜到外頭賞雪,當然也順便帶了攝影機拍了雪景留念,畢竟下次再能見到這麼多的雪還不知是何年何月呢!
※後記: 這場雪後來結果下的太久,讓一向愛雪的我也感到厭煩了呢!

《Christmas Can’t Be Very Far Away》
by Amy Grant
Little bits of heaven
Floating gently by the window
Soon this dirty city will be
Covered with a new snow
Let’s put on our winter boots
Go outside and play
Christmas can’t be very far away
Weather girl says “Bundle up”
It’s gonna be a cold one
I’ll put on my wooly hat
You’ll wear your dads old Stetson
Pretty lights are everywhere
Shining night and day
Christmas can’t be very far away
Lets take a walk downtown and
Go dream shopping in the mall
The kids can do the Santa thing
Photographs and all
We’ll get the biggest tree this year
And trim it to the top
And spend a whole lot more
Than what we’ve got
But so what
Come next spring
I know we will be
Ready for the sunshine
Right now throwin’ snowballs
At each other’s such a fun time
Kids will think were crazy
For a while and that’s okay
Christmas can’t be very far away
Christmas can’t be very far away
