"Percevoir Noël à travers ses emballages devient de plus en plus difficile chaque année"
— E. B. White
Simplified Meaning:
Over time, it gets harder to see the true meaning of Christmas because of all the extra stuff that comes with it. Imagine a gift wrapped in many layers of colorful paper. Each time you peel off a layer, the real gift underneath seems further away. Lots of flashy decorations, busy shopping, and expensive gifts are like those extra layers of wrapping. They can distract us from what Christmas is really about—spending time with loved ones, being kind, and feeling grateful. For example, a family might spend so much time and money on buying presents that they forget to enjoy the simple moments together. To truly enjoy Christmas, focus on connecting with people, showing love, and appreciating what you have, instead of getting caught up in the commercial and material aspects.
