I like the inversion of genre cliche whereby the hick sheriff is all in a hurry, and the out-of-towner FBI agent encourages him to chill out.

Plus, they can keep an eye on Hank while they’re doin’ it! Observe his behaviour - find out whether or not he *has* really changed, instead of just hassling him and giving him a hard time. [ He *hasn’t.* ]

That's 'cause the hick sheriff is trying to be all city-fied to impress the out-of-towner FBI agent, and the out-of-towner FBI agent is trying to be all country-fied to impress the hick sheriff.
I used to interpret this as "look for a present to give yourself" like a donut or new shoes, but I think it's really more of "don't reject the presents that life presents you with." Like feeling sleepy and having a nap, accepting a cup of coffee when offered, or buy something on a whim. Don't go out looking for them but appreciate the things that life puts in your path.

Of course, Lynch, the set and costume designer, all had a fetish for the post-WWII boom. I think it's something he makes a point of to construct, deconstruct and reconstruct in every single project of his. Twin Peaks season 1 and 2 both posit this. Fire Walk with Me deconstructs it, and The Return puts it on it's head.

His advice quote is sampled on an obscure song, "Questionable Things" by Julien Neto. I'm a big fan of Twin Peaks now, but when I first heard that song ages ago, I had no idea where the quote came from.
Twin Peaks is one of the best pieces of media ever. Period. Few shows I find myself agreeing with every single one of the writers' decision, every line of dialogue ever spoken or not, every single shot, every single scene. It's something special honestly.

crazy how they made a line like “a present, like Christmas” not sound awkward as hell
I love lines, advice from show and this was a great one. I've written down so many over the years yhis is definitely one to remember. This so true, yet why is it we find it so difficult to just be in the present, when its all we really have in life, is the given moment? Because tomorrow's not promised, we should love the PRESENT while we are given the time in the moment to appreciate what we have while we have it before its taken away from us. The gift of the moment is one we often take for granted. Be Present because you never know when it will be your last moment. 🎁
