Welcome to Passerelle, a podcast designed to spark the curiosity of French learners.
Emilie , , .
Hi, I'm Emilie, and this week, as usual, I'd like to take a few minutes to think about something together.
, .
In each episode, I try to bring you different topics to explore.
.
My goal is simply to share some food for thought and encourage you to start asking yourself questions in French.
.
Today, let's talk about gifts.
, , Noël.
I'm recording this episode a little early, but if all goes according to plan, it will be released on Christmas weekend.
.
So, it's the perfect time to ask ourselves why we love buying stuff.
, , .
Gifts often speak volumes not only about our loved ones but also about ourselves.
, Noël, .
Before we start, I have to admit, Christmas isn't really my favorite time of year.
, , .
By mid-December, I'm always itching for January to get here.
, , .
When I say I can't wait, it means I'm in a hurry, I'm impatient.
.
I'm much more drawn to the idea of renewal that the new year brings.
Noël, .
Christmas spirit isn't really my thing.
, .
For me, this time is above all an opportunity to spend time with my loved ones, of course.
, .
My family and I still follow quite a few traditions.
, , , .
We decorate the tree with baubles and garlands, we have an advent calendar, we prepare a special meal, and we'll definitely go see the Christmas lights.
, est-ce Noël Est-ce Hanouna , Noël.
And how about you, do you celebrate Christmas? Maybe you celebrate Hanukkah? This year, I haven't made my Christmas list yet.
.
I think we're just going to wing it.
, .
Gifts under the Christmas tree remain an iconic image of the holiday.
, .
It made me think about a question, the very one we'll be asking ourselves this week.
