since last week, walang patid na ang patugtog ng aking bossing ng mga Christmas songs. un na rin ang nagsisilbing pampagising sa aming dalawa. malakas ang sounds, nakikising-along pa minsan. ramdam ko na talaga ang Pasko. mula Jingle Bells hanggang I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas, eh meron ung bossing ko. mapa-love song o kaya naman eh mejo comedy na version ng kanta. naka-shuffle ung pagkaka-ayos ng mga kanta sa Windows Media Player kaya naman di mo alam kung anong kanta ang susunod.
kagabi, habang abala kami sa pagtatrabaho (kuno!), tumugtog ung kantang Christmas Shoes. nilakasan ng bossing ko ung volume, at pareho kaming napatigil sa ginagawa namin. nimanman bawat lyrics ng kanta at pinakinggang maigi ang melody. habang nakatitig sa harap ng monitor, naisip ko ung kwento ng kanta. nakakalungkot na ewan. at eto, ishe-share ko sa inyo.

Christmas Shoes
It was almost Christmas time
There I stood in another line
Tryin to buy that last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas moodStandin right in front of me
Was a little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing round like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoesAnd his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldnt believe what I heard him saySir, I wanna buy these shoes
For my mama, please
Its Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir?
Daddy says theres not much time
You see, shes been sick for quite a while
And I, know these shoes will make her smile
And I, want her to look beautiful
If mama meets Jesus tonightHe counted pennies for what seemed like years
And the, cashier said Son, theres not enough here.
He searched his pockets franticly
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Most years she just did without
Tell me, sir, what am I gonna do
Somehow Ive gotta buy her these Christmas shoesSo I laid the money down
I just had to help him out
And Ill never forget the look on his face
when he said Mamas gonna look so greatSir, I wanna buy these shoes
For my mama, please
Its Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir?
Daddy says theres not much time
You see, shes been sick for quite a while
And I, know these shoes will make her smile
And I, want her to look beautiful
If mama meets Jesus tonightI knew I caught a glimpse of heaven love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all aboutSir, I wanna buy these shoes
For my mama, please
Its Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir?
Daddy says theres not much time
You see, shes been sick for quite a while
And I, know these shoes will make her smile
And I, want her to look beautiful
If mama meets Jesus tonightI want her to look beautiful
If mama meets Jesus tonight
natapos ung kanta na nagtutubig ung mata ko. natigilan ako dun sa kwento. I want her to look beautiful, If mama meets Jesus tonight. wow. nakakalungkot ung kanta, pero touching.
ewan ko ba, habang ginagawa ko tong entry, di ko pa rin mapigilang hindi maiyak. tagos kasi sa puso ung kanta. pwede ring naiyak ako dahil sadyang iyakin lang talaga ako.. ^_^
I knew that God had sent that little boy to remind me
What Christmas is all about
Christmas is all about spending it with your loved ones. oo nga’t kailangan pa rin natin ng pera, para sa pang-regalo at panghanda, pero diba mas importante pa rin ung magkakasama kayo ng pamilya mo? para sa akin, mas masaya un. simpleng yakap lang sabay bati ng Merry Christmas eh sapat nang regalo. di rin kasi natin alam, baka huling pasko na pala nila ito. kaya do your best to make them feel happy and loved.
sabi nga ng kanta, Give love on Christmas Day.. :)
Merry Christmas!! ^_^
