Christmas tight refers to the period of time after Christmas and New Year where the clothes you wore prior to the holidays that fit well, all of a sudden are a little tighter than they should be.
圣诞节和新年之后,你发现你节前穿正好的衣服,居然有些紧了。这就是“节后缩水”(jiéhòu suōshuǐ)。
Christmas tight happens because there is so much delicious food during the big holidays, and you just cannot help yourselves.
发生节后缩水是因为在这种盛大的节日里美味的食物太多了,你忍不住狂吃。
Example:
wǒ wèi shèngdànjié xīn mǎi le zhèjiàn chènshān. zhīqián wǒ yìzhí ná tā hé wǒ zuìài de gōngzhuāngkù dāpèi, dàn xiànzài yǒudiǎner jiéhòu suōshuǐ le.
我为圣诞节新买了这件衬衫。之前我一直拿它和我最爱的工装裤搭配,但现在有点儿节后缩水了。
I got this new dress shirt for Christmas. I went to wear it with my favorite work pants, but they are a little Christmas tight now.
