MERRY CHRISTMAS!
The old man with the sack.

Who was he?

Father Christmas is based on a real person, St. Nicholas, which explains his other name 'Santa Claus' which comes from the Dutch 'Sinterklaas'.
Nicholas was a Christian leader from Myra (in modern-day Turkey) in the 4th century AD.
He was very shy, and wanted to give money to poor people without them knowing about it.
It is said that one day, he climbed the roof of a house and dropped a purse of money down the chimney.
It landed in the stocking which a girl had put to dry by the fire!
This may explain the belief that Father Christmas comes down the chimney and places gifts in children's stockings.

I like the Lyrics of this song.
Its very meaningful. =)


錦繡二重唱 - 我的快樂


徘了 徊了 走了 錯了過了等了
累了全都困了 煩的亂的等的都
是真的

瘋的想的念的 不安的焦慮的
複雜的夢過的 擁有的失去的
怎麼忘呢

你做過的傷 放困了你愛的音
那天的我等著你等成了擺設

我的你的他的 好的壞的難的
灰的藍的黃的 酸的甜的苦的
都還記得

非常想要忘的 絕對不能忘的
我心要換你的 真的不行那麼
只得放了

環島的火車載著我第幾天了
忽然發現這一刻我不想你了

我的快樂 會回來的
只要清楚曾愛得那麼深刻
不准問值不值得
我的快樂 會回來的
離開不是誰給了誰的選擇

我的快樂 會回來的
只要清楚曾愛得那麼深刻
不准問值不值得
我的快樂 會回來的
離開不是你給了我的選擇

瘋的想的念的 不安的焦慮的
複雜的夢過的 擁有的失去的
怎麼忘呢
非常想要忘的 絕對不能忘的
我心要換你的 真的不行那麼
只得放了

放了
忘了

English Translation:

Wandered, loitered, left, mistaken, cried, hurt
Tired, drained, sleepy, annoyed, mess-up, cold, it's all real
The crazy, the wanting, the longing, the insecure, the anxious
The complicated, the dreamed, the possessed, the lost, how do I forget
The sofa you sat on expanded, the music you love stopped
I waited for you till I became an accessory

Mine, yours, his, the good, the bad, the sad
The gray, the blue, the yellow, the sour, the sweet, the bitter, I still remember
The thing I desperately want to forget, the thing I should never forget
I'm thinking about returning it to you, I can't have it, have to let go
How many days has the continental trail carried me
Suddenly, I discover I don't miss you right now

My happiness will come back
As long as I know how deep the love was
Do not ask whether it's worth it or not
My happiness will come back
Leaving is not a choice a someone can give another

My happiness will come back
As long as I know how deep the love was
Do not ask whether it's worth it or not
My happiness will come back
Leaving is not a choice you can give me

The crazy, the wanting, the longing, the insecure, the anxious
The complicated, the dreamed, the possessed, the lost, how do I forget
The thing I desperately want to forget, the thing I should never forget
I'm thinking about returning it to you, I can't have it, have to let go
I have let go.. forgotten it...
