When
Christmas comes to town（圣诞歌曲）
“只有相信圣诞老人的存在，你才能听到驯鹿身上清脆的铃铛声。”
2004年热播动画影片“The polar express （《极地快车》）再次引领我们追问圣诞老人的意义……
“圣诞老人”是童年最真最纯的梦，可是，即使等到你远离童真不再期盼圣诞袜里的惊喜，你也应该相信圣诞精灵的存在。他不只是商家手中蓄着雪白胡子的红衣老人，也不仅仅只会在圣诞前夕才从烟囱里冒出来给众人分发礼物。“圣诞老人”更是博爱、互助的象征，代表着用真心送递祝福和分享爱心的愿望。
世界各地到处都有圣诞老人的身影，他会使用不同的名字，形象也不尽相同。在美国，它叫Santa
Claus，是个圆乎乎胖嘟嘟的快乐小老头；在德国、奥地利和瑞士，它叫Christkind（耶稣圣婴），是一个身穿白衣的金发小姑娘；在英国，它叫Father
Christmas（圣诞之父），比其它圣诞老人更庄严，更清瘦……
不管它叫做什么，长成什么模样，“圣诞老人”的真正精神在于——你给与了什么而不是得到了什么。一旦懂得这些，你就明白，圣诞老人就住在你的心里面。
“我向星星许愿，并坚持相信，圣诞老人确实存在。我想，他一定很忙，不然不会不来看我。圣诞来临时，我总会想到圣诞老人，那是一年中最好的时光，所有的人都回家团聚，朋友们聚在一起竖起圣诞树。平安夜里，没有人睡觉，大家都翘首盼望圣诞老人的降临。他驾着的雪橇铃声响起，我听到了，四周全是鹿铃声……”
在影片《极地快车》中，当寻找圣诞老人的火车驶入北极圈，相信圣诞老人存在的小男孩和多才多艺的小女孩站在极地特快车厢的尽头，合唱了这首忧伤的“When
Christmas comes to
town”（《当圣诞来到小镇》）。纯净的童音，就像孩子的心灵一尘不染；简单的歌词，就是孩子的内心独语，带着梦想，充满真诚，期盼圣诞老人的到来。
Lyrics
When Christmas comes to town by Matthew Hall
& Meagan Moore
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 |
