我想大家一早知道Sufjan Stephen 推出了五CD接近單碟價的聖誕合輯【Songs On Christmas】吧？我還沒有將CD拿到手，但卻先看到其中一首作品《Put the Lights on the Tree》的MV，以動畫形式來作表達，很配合Sufjan Stephen的音樂風格，而且很喜歡歌詞的內容，尤其這裏「and call your grandma on the phone　if she’s living all alone」。聖誕節本不是甚麼狂喜之日，我倒認為是一個暖心的節日，將愛心關心送給朋友愛人家人敵人，才是道理；與朋友寒喧，確認彼此存在，更可以達雪中送炭、噓寒問暖之用，聖誕真意義。

Sufjan Stephen 《Put the lights on the tree》

put the lights on the tree
(put them on the tree)
put the ribbon on the wreath
(put it on the wreath)
and call your grandma on the phone
(call her on the phone)
if she’s living all alone
(if she’s living all alone, if she’s all alone)
tell her Jesus Christ is here
(tell her He is here)
tell her she has none to fear
(there is none to fear)
and if she’s crying on the phone
(crying on the phone)
tell her you are coming home
(you are coming home)

正巧，我家也放了燈飾了。
