不知從何時開始,港人連聖誕節也不放過,要玩「倒數」。
「倒數」這玩意,通常是在除夕玩的。一大班人在十二月三十一日的晚上聚集,一同等候新年來臨;在午夜前的最後十來秒,大伙兒齊齊倒數:「五!四!三!二!一!Happy New Year!」歡呼、舉杯、跳舞、煙火等等,不在話下。
世上最著名的「新年倒數」活動,當然是美國紐約市的時代廣場。由於紐約市有個別名為Big Apple City,是故每年新年倒數,都會有個大蘋果在時代場「跌」下來。我們香港自從在銅鑼灣也有個「時代廣場」之後,每年也效法紐約時代廣場的傳統,大搞倒數活動,然而你必須親歷一次紐約的原裝正版,才會明白甚麼是「小巫見大巫」!
但無論如何,自香港有了「時代廣場」倒數,港人從此就愛上了「倒數」。不但每年在除夕要玩一次,然後在農曆的年三十晚也要玩一次!這還不夠,近年發展到連平安夜也要倒數!
這真的令人想不明白。聖誕節的本義乃慶祝耶穌基督降生,但我從來也沒有聽說過任何基督教或天主教徒,會搞甚麼倒數的。當然,天主教有個子夜彌撒,但那決不是甚麼「五四三二一」的狂歡吧!
