I BELIEVE IN FATHER CHRISTMAS
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the VIRGIN BIRTH
I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
AND EYES full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked to the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah
Noel, be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve
by Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Heard this song in the Metro K Market yesterday. Years ago I heard it on Armed Forces Radio in Munich. It was right before I left for graduate school in America and I thought "this may be my last Christmas here." Little did I know that after I left Munich I would meet the great love of my life and find the greatest job of my life. OK, so the great love married someone else and I don't think he's so great anymore and I left the great job unwillingly after more than five years. If I hadn't left that job I wouldn't have gone on to the greatest accomplishments of my career and of my life until this point.
Went to the CDA Christmas party and the Fulbright party in an attempt to keep my social life alive, to show people I still care. While I look at the Fulbright fellowship as one of my great accomplisments I sometimes wonder if it didn't hinder me. What would have happened if I hadn't got it? I guess I would have got a job at some radio station or some agency, but would I just have ended up being phased out anyway? Would I have clung to the same man for six years because he was the best thing that had come along and nothing better came along after?
