Christmas on Credit: Why Americans Are Going Broke This Holiday Season. w/ David Shands

We need to have an honest conversation: Christmas has quietly become the biggest financial trap of the entire year.

Not the meaning… not the faith… but the retail version of Christmas that pressures millions of families to overspend, overextend, and go into debt every December.

In this video, I break down why we should seriously consider canceling Christmas — financially — and reclaiming the season from the marketers, retailers, and corporations that hijacked it.

Here’s what we cover:

👉 Why the average American spends $1,000+ on Christmas before travel, food, or alcohol

👉 How nearly half the country EXPECTS to go into debt just to participate

👉 The real history behind Christmas gift-giving (hint: it wasn’t always a shopping event)

👉 How the retail industry turned a simple tradition into a billion-dollar sales machine

👉 Why emotional pressure is the #1 reason people stay broke in December

👉 How holiday debt destroys your finances for months after the tree comes down

👉 And how you can celebrate without sacrificing your financial future

Most people don’t realize that Christmas, as we know it, was engineered — intentionally — by advertisers and department stores in the 1800s and 1900s. The modern Santa, the shopping frenzy, the wish lists, the guilt-driven spending… none of this has anything to do with the original meaning.

This video isn’t about canceling family, joy, or tradition.

It’s about canceling debt, pressure, and financial guilt.

It’s about choosing peace over payments.

It’s about stepping into the new year without dragging December’s mistakes behind you.

🔥 If Christmas is keeping you broke, it’s time to rethink the tradition.

Watch the full breakdown and let’s talk about it in the comments.
