There are so many beautiful things in life that words cannot explain or even come close to describing. The holidays can be hard for many people, whether it’s because they're not with someone they love, they are missing someone or their home, they are lonely, or maybe the cold winter months just make them feel down in the dumps. These are some beautiful words in other languages that aren't directly translated to English. These words express feelings and habits of everyday people, I hope these sayings brighten someone’s day, and makes this winter just a little bit easier and warm.
