"Il n'y a rien de plus triste dans ce monde que de se réveiller le matin de Noël et de ne pas être un enfant."
— Erma Bombeck
Simplified Meaning:
Waking up on Christmas morning as an adult feels different than when you’re a child. As a kid, Christmas is magical—you run to the tree, excited to open presents. Everything feels bright and wonderful. But when you grow up, the experience changes. You might feel more stress about buying gifts and planning meals instead of just enjoying the day. Adults can try to bring back some of that joy by focusing on the happy moments and spending time with loved ones. By remembering what made the holiday special as a child, they can make it a little magical again.
