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

我的這首敘事詩，通過在周日聖誕節這一天教堂關門和家裏門始終敞開的強烈對比，主要表達了兩個方麵的主題。

一方麵，是通過幽默和童趣來表達家庭的溫暖。另外一方麵，還有一個深層次的主題，那就是對聖誕節本身意義的思考。在很大程度上，聖誕節已經偏離了它本來的宗教方麵的含義，聖誕節的時候大家不是去教堂慶祝耶穌的誕生，而是變成了俗世的節日，從下麵這幾段文字可以看出我想要表達的這層深意。
