[캐럴송] 축성탄

어린 시절 부모님과 함께 한 즐거웠던 추억은 무엇과도 바꿀 수 없는 소중한 보물입니다. 나이가 아무리 많이 들더라도 실락원같은 그 시절로 돌아가게 해주는 '타임머신'은 누구나 다 갖고 있죠. - 어린 시절 일기장, 즐겨 읽던 책, 사진, 편지나 카드 등 등.
 
크리스마스 캐럴송이 조금 이르지 않나 싶기도 하지만, 어렸을 땐 이맘 때부터 크리스마스 무드에 젖었던 기억이 납니다.
 
교우 여러분, 즐거운 성탄절 맞으시고 새해에도 복 많이 받으시기를 빕니다.

An Old Christmas Card

There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk
And it brings back sweet memories dear to me
'Though it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree

I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the memory of an Old Christmas Card
(Recitation)
You know, I don't know why I get to feeling sentimental
about this time, every year
But every time I see a Christmas card,
I somehow can't help reminiscing
About the very first Christmas that you and I spent together
What a beautiful Christmas card you gave me that year
Why I know you must have looked through thousands of cards
To find that wonderful poem that still brings a tear to my eyes

I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the memory of an Old Christmas Card
