?雪白季節裡的溫暖__大耳婆婆?
.
.
傳說，擁有一頭漂亮金髮的老婆婆，有兩只非常可愛而美麗的大耳朵，它是用來聆聽孩子們的願望。他的工作是，為全世界的孩子們圓滿願望，並且送去禮物，他的願望是：「看見全世界的孩子們，燦爛、天真的笑容，並且幸福的沈睡夢鄉。」
.
而大小孩子們都喜愛的「聖誕老人」願望是怎麼來的呢？
在數千年前的_斯堪納維亞島中，一個風雪交加的聖誕夜裡，有一對饑寒交迫的小男孩，因為大雪覆蓋天地好幾個月了，家家戶戶緊鎖門戶，糧食更顯得珍貴，他一路走一路敲門，卻不見善心的人家願意給他一口飯吃，當他覺得自己將要被凍死的時候，突然面前出現了一個大耳婆婆，接待他吃了一頓豐盛的聖誕晚餐，還貼心的為小男孩準備溫暖的寢具，隔日大雪竟奇蹟似的停了。
.
臨走前，大耳婆婆特別折了一根杉樹枝送給他，並叮囑說：「你找個肥沃的土地將它種下吧，並且細心地呵護它，他將會長成一顆非常美麗的小樹，年年此日，將會禮物滿枝，但是你必須繼續完成我的願望，為所有跟你一樣，需要幫助的孩子們送去溫暖，為他們圓滿願望。」
.
原來那位大耳婆婆，是千手千眼_觀世音菩薩的化身，而那個小男孩，就是現在的聖誕老公公。
.
後來許多受到大耳婆婆幫助的孩子們長大了，他們也都立志要成為聖誕老人的化身，聖誕節的溫暖氛圍從此流傳下來，千古不衰，甚至化身成千千萬萬的聖誕老人！
.
因此，每年的12月，聖誕老人都會灑下漫天的雪花與祝福 ，並且送出禮物 ?給孩子們，從此許多孩子們再也不受飢凍所苦了。
因為，這就是佛的願望。。。
.
最後，祝福大家：
在這個美麗的季節裡都能收穫滿滿，幸福、快樂！
「 ❄ ❄ ❄聖 誕 節 快 樂 ❄ ❄ ❄」

Warmth in snowy white season- Big ear granny
.
According to legend, there was a granny with beautiful golden hair. She had a pair of attractive big ears to listen to the wishes of children from all over the world.
.
Her job was to fulfil the dreams and wishes of children by sending them presents. Her wish: (to see radiant and happy smiles on the innocent faces of all children and ensure they go to bed with pleasant dreams.)
.
How does the wish of Santa Claus (children’s all-time favourite character) come about?
.
Few thousand years ago at an island of Scandinavia, on a snowy and windy Christmas night , there was a little boy who was feeling very hungry and cold. Due to a few months of heavy snow, every household locked their houses and windows tightly to keep out the cold and food was precious and rare. As the boy walked on the street, he knocked on each door, hoping that some kind soul would offer him warm food. However, no one offered him and he continued to remain hungry. Just when he was about to freeze to death, a granny with big ears appeared in front of him. The granny offered him a sumptuous Christmas dinner and thoughtfully prepared a warm mattress and blanket for the night. On the very next day, the snow miraculously stopped.
.
Before the boy left, big ear granny gave him a redwood branch and instructed him: “Find a fertile land to grow this redwood branch. Look after it well and it will grow into a beautiful tree. On this day of every year, the tree will be filled with presents. However, I have one condition: you must help to fulfil my dream by giving out warmth and hope to children like yourself and others who needed help, make their wishes come true.”
.
Apparently the big ear granny was the incarnation of Thousand Hands Thousand Eyes Guanyin Bodhisattva and the little boy was Santa Claus.
.
Subsequently, children who received help from big ear granny grew up and aspired to be incarnation of Santa Claus. From then on, this heart-warming tradition of Christmas passed down over generations and manifest in the form of thousands and millions of Santa Claus!
.
Since then, on the December of every year, Santa Claus would sprinkle glittering brilliance and wishes to fill the entire sky and send out presents to children. Thanks to Santa Claus, children no longer suffer from hunger and bitter cold. All this is possible because it is the wish of Buddha….
.
Lastly, may all receive bountiful returns on Christmas and lead a happy and fulfilling life!
.
Merry Christmas !!
