Yeah, let me say this as a guy who I'll give you the version of the Christmas tree that's prefab and comes decorated and how that ruins it for everybody.

And now I'll give you the sort of rich guy version of getting the kids everything and having a sea of packages and junk that they don't even get to or open or have the favorite thing.

The best part about life is the simple stuff.

It's really – it's when you walk in and your dog comes trotting at you, wagging its tail.

It's the sort of moments you have with family and friends.

It's the long walks on the beach.

Like I hate to sound like a greeting card, but –

I'm telling you, I've been poor and I've been rich.

The rich guy stuff, there's a lot of promise around it, but not a lot of satisfaction.

So Christmas is really just a kind of distilled version of what your life should be.

Like everyone does that thing every year.

They go, I wish everyone could say hi to everyone year round and greet people year round and say Merry Christmas or whatever.

Good day or whatever.

You know, there's always this thing that people say is like, I wish people could act this way.

In March and in August, but we don't, but that's the ideal.

The ideal is to sort of have that life, not be showered with gifts, but do those things like, you know, making hot cider and putting a little rum in it, you know, making something like gingerbread cookies.

Brian sent a tweet out that Chrissy loves making things of gingerbread.

That's true.

The notion of carving out that time for you and your daughter or your son or whatever.

The stupid stuff like stringing popcorn and making a whole 10-foot band of it and wrapping it around the tree.
