这个圣诞节没有雪
文/点点

这个圣诞节没有雪
也没有圣诞老人的雪橇和麋鹿
连圣诞树都没有
更不要说红色绿色的毛绒袜
哪里可以摆放圣诞礼物

北极的那个小雪屋
是否住着一对慈祥的老夫妇
用一整年的时间读着长长的礼物单
尖尖耳朵的绿装精灵们
日夜忙碌制作各式各样的玩偶
这一切的一切统统丢给了
雪花飘舞的岁月里
青少年们已经不再在乎

曾几何时圣诞节的清早
那个穿着兔兔睡衣的小女孩儿
迫不及待地蹦出被窝窝
爸爸、妈妈快快起床了
开礼物了,开礼物了
打开自己的之后
还要代表襁褓中的小弟弟
兴奋的小脸儿像个红苹果

还有那个稚气的小男孩呢
生怕圣诞老爷爷饿肚肚
亲手准备了他最爱的牛奶加奥利奥
又怕老爷爷找不着
平安夜在壁炉和冰箱之间的地板上
认真摆放一张又一张画了箭头的白纸
标着饼干在这里、牛奶在那里

也许将来的某个圣诞季
当他们有了自己的小宝宝
也会在屋里摆上圣诞树
树下也会放满礼物
听孩子的祖母讲
他们小时候过圣诞节的故事
里面有个美丽的雪公主

No White Christmas This Year

It's so warm and wet this December
White Christmas? Not this year
There isn't any snow at all
Then there is no Santa on sleigh There is no gift under the tree
Actually there is no Christmas tree
No hanging of woolen red or green socks
So there isn't a place for stockings

What about in that small snow cottage in North Pole
The old couple spend their days opening letters from kids over the world
Elves in green potter around making colorful toys
All of this, thrown into the old good time when snowflakes swirled
No more, our adolescents do not care, anymore

Gone are those Christmas Days in the morning
Little Bunny Fufu jumped out of bed
And bumped her head into the Christmas tree 
Eyes twinkling with Christmas lights 
"Mommy, Daddy get up please!"
Finally it was time to open presents 
For herself AND those of her baby brother's as well

Gone is the baby fat on that little boy's cheeks
He would never forget to prepare milk and cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve
"Santa must be very hungry by the time he comes to our house."
Milk should be kept in the fridge and cookies on the kitchen table
He taped big signs from the fireplace to the kitchen
"Cookies over here; milk in there"

Perhaps at Christmas time in a future year
When they become parents themselves
They would also put up a Christmas tree for their children
And pile up presents under the tree
Then the children would sit around Granny,
begging to hear stories of their mommy or daddy, or uncle or auntie,
when they were little kids
"Once upon a wintertime, a beautiful princess called Snow..."
