我从甜品店出来，已经是傍晚七点四十五分。广场人潮洛繹不绝，商店争相的播放圣诞歌，从纳京.高至戴安娜.可若；从米高.巴布至莎拉.麦克拉登。
虽然每年的圣诞歌都一样， 不管是谁唱都好！只要不过分标新立异，或唱得太糟至面目全非， 一般上我都会喜欢。 也享受这样由商业包装营造出来的气氛。
在亚热带国家过了半生的我，不知为什么的，今晚突然感到一股寒意。 我把她送我的圣诞礼物夹在腋下，双手插进裤袋，赶紧离开人群…
It was 7.45pm when I came out from the doughnut shop.
The square was full of crowds. The retail shops were competing to play Christmas songs, from Nat King Cole to Diana Krall; from Micheal Buble to Sarah McLachlan, you name it.
Although the songs are all the same every year, no matter who sings them, as long as they are not too excessively altered to be different or the songs are too badly sung beyond recognition, I will generally accept. I do enjoy the ambient of this commercially packaged festive season.
Having been living in this tropical country for half my life, I didn’t know why, that night I suddenly felt there was a chill in the air, I clamped the present she gave below my left arm, inserted my hands in the pants pocket, hurried I left the crowds.
