"There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child"
- Erma Bombeck
About this Quote
This quote by Erma Bombeck speaks with the pleasure and innocence of childhood, and how it can be lost as we age. It speaks with the concept that Christmas morning is an unique time, and that it can be a time of unhappiness when we no longer feel the exact same sense of wonder and joy that we did as kids. It speaks with the concept that as adults, we can still discover joy in the holiday, however it will never ever be rather the like it was when we were children. It is a suggestion to value the minutes of childhood, and to value the happiness and innocence that includes it. It is a tip to require time to value the easy things in life, and to find pleasure in the little moments.
