Dec 17, 2004 Children at Neverland Ranch for Christmas Party

 





 

 





本週五,熱情洋溢的Michael Jackson在自己的Neverland莊園裏招待了約200名來家裏歡度聖誕節假期的兒童和家長。盡管有指控在身,這位流行天王還是按照慣例邀請孩子們前來做客。 自從去年員警兩次到牧場來搜集犯罪證據以後,Jackson說他已不再把這個地方作為自己的家了。繼續舉辦假日派對活動,只是希望能為孩子們多做一些事情。

我希望你們今天玩得愉快。聖誕快樂,我愛你們!”Jackson在他家的車道上對孩子們說。孩子們著回應道,聖誕快樂謝謝你!其中有一個孩子還大叫道,我們愛你!

我更愛你們!”Jackson微笑著向他們致意道,他和他們交談了約10分鐘,還帶著他們走過了屋前的小橋。隨後Michael Jackson乘車離開了莊園,而孩子們則盡情地開始遊玩。 這群孩子是六個慈善機構用大巴士組織帶來的,他們有的是聖芭芭拉地區的小病號,有的則來自洛杉磯第一AME教會。據Jackson發言人Raymone K. Bain說,Jackson這次罕見地決定親自見見來訪的孩子們,但這次活動與Jackson即將到來的審判沒有關系。

Bain
告訴說慈善機構和市民機構們每個月至少會帶孩子們來Neverland遊玩三次,裏面有主題公園、動物園和電影院。這是多年來的傳統。本週五,Jackson私人電影院裏放映的是《北極快車》。

Neverland
坐落在風景如畫的聖芭芭拉縣郊外,是一個童話般的世外桃源,有溪流、有瀑布、有湖泊,到處是彼得·潘和孩子們的銅像。動物園裏有兩頭大象、一匹駱駝、火烈鳥等。孩子們一進動物園就能看見。 樂園還向孩子們免費提供午餐、糖果和爆米花,一個工作人員穿成聖誕老人在旁服務。孩子們還在遊戲大廳裏玩各種各樣的電子遊戲。

Bain
告訴說很多機構都寫信給Jackson要求帶孩子們來Neverland遊玩,主管活動事務的工作人員會決定邀請的名單。一般來說Jackson先生都不會在場,她說道,因為這裏的活動是天天在辦。但今天他想給孩子們一個驚喜。他把他整個生命都獻給了孩子們和慈善事業。隨後Jackson工作人員發的一個聲明稱:因為這是今年最後一個節假日前的來訪,所以Jackson給了孩子們一個驚喜,並祝福他們節日快樂,新年快樂!

Bain
還透露說Jackson現在精神狀態不錯。他顧及到了所有的一切,他看上去很好。不過在週五,加州上訴法院駁回了Jackson律師的上訴,認為法官Rodney Melville裁定大陪審團控罪書沒有問題合乎法律。
 
 
 
Michael Jackson週五在慈善派對上的講話
 
Michael Jackson於週五打開Neverland的大門,歡迎200多名孩子們前來遊玩,以下便是他當時與孩子們見面時的講話:大家好!歡迎來到Neverland!我只想藉這個機會向你們和今天伴隨你們前來的父母親們問聲好。多年以來,很多機構,就如帶你們來的機構一樣,都曾經帶著孩子們來拜訪過Neverland。我希望你們如先來者們一樣,今天玩得開心。這有很多讓你們觀看和遊戲的東西……所以,好好玩吧!

同時,我還想對你們說,我和我的家人在此祝福你們聖誕快樂,能過一個美妙、福佑、安定、快樂的新年!上帝保佑你們!我愛你們所有人!
那天孩子們玩得十分開心,後來他們紛紛告訴記者說:

對我們來說,Michael Jackson比聖誕老人還重要。

這就是我們的聖誕節!

即便是我們最瘋狂的幻想,也沒有想到我們能有機會能向Michael Jackson當面問好。

美夢終于成真了。多年以來,Neverland牧場就一直向那些慈善機構、非商業組織、學校和宗教團體免費開放。Jackson的活動組織人每個月要處理成千上萬的申請,並落實當月2-4次的來訪。週五帶孩子們來訪Neverland的組織包括:加州康普頓基督教會、洛杉磯保持青春組織、洛杉磯耶穌受難山信徒集結教會、聖提摩太主日學校、洛杉磯第一AME教會和聖芭芭拉地區照顧需要特殊護理的孩子們的機構。

 
 

'Merry Christmas. I love you'

December 19, 2004The Sun-Herald

A high-spirited Michael Jackson greeted about 200 children who were brought yesterday for a Christmas party at his Neverland countryside theme-park style ranch in California .
He even looked at one point like he might stay to play with them.
"I hope you have a wonderful day. Merry Christmas. I love you," the pop singer called out from the driveway of his estate.
When one of the youngsters shouted, "We love you!", Jackson replied "I love you more" before putting an umbrella over his head and walking back toward his house.
In his brief appearance, Jackson smiled, waved and at one point looked as if he would come back and play with the children, but instead got into a vehicle that took him off the property.
Spokeswoman Raymone Bain said Jackson chose to make the unusual personal appearance as a surprise for the last group of children touring Neverland before the Christmas holiday.
Santa Barbara County authorities have charged Jackson , 46, with molesting a boy, conspiracy and administering an intoxicating agent, alcohol, to his alleged victim.

His trial is set for next year.
Investigators have raided the ranch, and in a recent court filing that seeks to introduce evidence of other purported crimes that went uncharged, prosecutors described the estate as "a veritable paradise" for children.
Ms Bain said charitable and civic groups bring children to Neverland at least three times a month; the estate contains streams, waterfalls and a lake, and the grounds are decorated with bronze statues of children at play.
Two elephants, a camel, a baby llama and flamingoes were on hand yesterday. The estate provided lunch, candy canes, popcorn and a Santa Claus.
"Mr Jackson is not here all the time," Ms Bain said. "There are events here daily. He wanted to surprise the kids. He has given his whole life to children and charities."
