I believe that the French have a way with words. And it is almost always lost in translation. One of my favorite nuances is the way the French talk about family.
Instead of saying you're going to spend time with your family this weekend, the French say 'you're going to spend time in family.' As if being with your family is an entirely different state of being. Ironically, it is often the truth. When a family gathers around the table for a meal, the energy is unlike any other, as if the bonds that nature made reconnect instantly.
I know the holiday season can be stressful, and we don't always remember to express our love for those around us, but please take a moment this weekend to be en famille. Ils vous aiment.
