An unforgettable Christmas Day

《An unforgettable Christmas Day》
by CBA7（小西）

mom: baby, hurry up, we're going to church
son: why?
mom: today is Sunday and Christmas Day, a big day for Jesus
son: oh yeah! the church must have a big birthday celebration for him
mom: that's right, let's go

they drove to the church
on the way, everywhere was closed
church would be the only place open today, they expected

they arrived at the church
it was closed too

son: mom, Jesus is not at home
mom: then where?
son: I don't know

they drove back home
a man opened the front door for them
a girl beside him

son: dad, you were right. everywhere is closed on Christmas Day
mom: baby, that's not true. our home is always open

the girl giggled and hugged her mom and brother

我的这首叙事诗，通过在周日圣诞节这一天教堂关门和家里门始终敞开的强烈对比，主要表达了两个方面的主题。

一方面，是通过幽默和童趣来表达家庭的温暖。另外一方面，还有一个深层次的主题，那就是对圣诞节本身意义的思考。在很大程度上，圣诞节已经偏离了它本来的宗教方面的含义，圣诞节的时候大家不是去教堂庆祝耶稣的诞生，而是变成了俗世的节日，从下面这几段文字可以看出我想要表达的这层深意。

mom: today is Sunday and Christmas Day, a big day for Jesus
son: oh yeah! the church must have a big birthday celebration for him

church would be the only place open today, they expected

son: mom, Jesus is not at home
