I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus (watch)
By T. Connor
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peep
She thought that I was tucked up in my bedroom fast asleep
Then I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night

Apa yang aku rindukan dari Natal? Misa bersama mamaku tentunya. Terakhir adalah 8 tahun yang lalu, thn 1999. Mama rajin Gereja dan beribadah (tidak seperti anaknya ini, enlightment always comes but I do nothing ;<). Mama adalah sebuah kesederhanaan yang bersinar, yang selalu memberi rasa nyaman. Selain itu, aku merindukan kartu2 Natal. Jaman sekarang, kartu adalah basi. Tidak ada waktu untuk memilah-milah kartu ini untuk siapa, kartu itu untuk siapa. Tidak ada lagi waktu untuk memikirkan kata-kata apa yang akan ditulis. Tidak ada lagi makna pentingnya. Hanya jadi sebuah nostalgia.
