Santa请放慢脚步

周末拍了一些深秋的照片,发在朋友圈。到了某个年龄,不知为什么走到哪里看到的都是风景,一个街角,一个转弯,都能拍出一张令自己感动的照片。

国内的一个好友发来一个小笑脸,打趣道,“都立冬了,还深秋呢?”

我查了查,可不是,农历二十四节气,现在已经立冬了。其实一直对立冬这个节气耿耿于怀,明明外面秋叶还没有落完,着什么急就立冬了?我给朋友回复了一句,“还是更能接受这边的First Day of Winter – December 21。冬老人还是在外面耐心地等一等好吗?” 朋友又发个笑脸过来,表示赞成。

其实没有跟朋友说,加拿大这边虽然在节气上没有设什么立冬,很多商家从十月份开始就已经迫不及待地把圣诞节的商品都挂出来了。在我旁边办公的Amy在十月份的时候就开始嚷嚷,“这Halloween的costumes和圣诞节的商品一起卖,我实在不能接受!” 十一月份一到,我早晨去上班,远远地就看见我们大楼外面挂上了圣诞节的彩灯,今年的灯以银色调为主,满满的一墙,漂亮而内敛,是我喜欢的style。可不知问什么,看到它们没有惊喜的感觉。走进办公室,Amy一见我就一把把我拽到她电脑前,”你看,我给大楼管理处写了封email, 告诉他们这么早就挂圣诞节的彩灯有点太过分,下礼拜是Remembrance Day,大家都在悼念老兵,他们这么着急就张灯结彩迎接圣诞节太不象话!Someone needs to let them know!!”

我对Amy表示完全赞同。这几年节奏,竞争越来越快,商家也在比拼着,感恩节的时候就开始卖圣诞节的商品,圣诞节的货品还没有完全下架,情人节的礼品就挂起来了,让人实在应接不暇!

吃过晚饭,我为自己泡了杯茶,打开电脑,开始一张张慢慢欣赏自己用手机在自家前后院,在街头巷尾,在常去的小区公园拍的这些深秋的照片。满地的落叶让我感慨生命的沧桑,吊在枝头的点点红果又让我体会春华秋实的喜悦。

Santa和冬老人,怎么才能让你们的脚步放慢些呢?能不能请你们坐下来,倒杯咖啡,泡杯茶,轻松地聊聊天,欣赏一下窗外美丽的秋色,让麋鹿们也先歇歇脚。到大雪纷飞,银装素裹的时候,再驾着雪橇过来?
