“The Christmas spirit isn’t something you can find or catch. You can’t slip on a Christmas CD into the stereo and realize the Christmas spirit had been under the couch all along. You can’t chase the Christmas spirit down the street, snatching it up in your arms as you look at all the pretty lights. The only thing you can do is put on the music and look at the lights and understand that the spirit will show itself on its own terms.”
