It reminds me of Linus' wonderful speech in A Charlie Brown Christmas. I don't say that to make fun...that part always got to me.
I can't stand all the commercialism. I do love being with my family and friends at the holiday. This is what 'life lived well' means to me...that you show love to those you are close to, and that you show compassion and friendliness to those you don't know. This is the 'spirit of Christmas' to me...sans the whole religious aspect.
