“To perceive Christmas through its wrappings becomes more difficult with every year”

Simplified Meaning:
As time goes on, seeing the true meaning of Christmas gets harder because we're more focused on gifts, decorations, and parties. Originally, Christmas was about spending time with loved ones, being kind, and spreading joy. Over the years, the holiday has become more about shopping and expensive presents. Imagine a birthday party where everyone is more interested in the wrapping paper and ribbons than celebrating the person’s special day. Similarly, we sometimes get so caught up in the shiny aspects of Christmas that we forget to appreciate the moments with family and friends. By paying less attention to the material stuff and more to the people around us, we can find the real joy of Christmas again.
