The Lost Melodies of Christmas

Monday, December 25th 2000 03:15PM

Sometimes the only way you can go through the day is to think that all was all a dream. Yet those details are sooo strong.
There's that oh-so-philosophical question that comes to mind.
If you had to choose between reliving the best day of your life once more and not remembering it anymore or not being able to relive it but remember it for the rest of your life, which one would you choose?
Almost certainly, I would choose the latter.

I woke up today in my drooling sleep to the whines of my sister trying to get me to walk in the chilly air downstairs. Yet instead I tried to return to my perfect dream...but to no avail. Eventually, I dragged myself downstairs. It was Christmas after all. It's funny though. My parents never really gave presents before, but this year they decided to go against that wicked bah humbug tradition. I got an electric toothbrush. Bleh. I gave my sis an inflatable chair so that she can use it in my dorm next year. Sigh, she just "it's okay" to everything that I had bought with Alan over the last four days. She's wearing the eyeliner now though. And the lip gloss... Then after lunch, I tried to return to that dream.

Music connects all people together even in ways that you don't think it would. This year, I have barely listened to any Christmas music except for Cynic Project's "A Cynical Christmas". The global language...music.
Just a few moments ago, Barenaked Ladies' "Pinch Me" came on.
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's gone
Then you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn


Then after that, the song that I was addicted to during my Latin song phase came on--Jon Secada's "Otra Dia Mas Sin Verte". I never had to do this song in my Spanish class, but somehow I understand every single word. Almost all lines seemed appropriate to me...although yes it was sung by a guy...
Solo al pensar
Que cuando no estas me siento diferente
Cuando estas en mis brazos
Quiero amarrarte a mi
Y no entiendo
Como puedes estar sin mi
Yo quiero estar contigo
No sé por qué, dime por qué.

Ya, ya no puedo más
Ya me es imposible soportar
Otro día más sin verte
Ven, dame una razón
Si es algo que no tiene solución
Es otro día mas sin verte.
