Christmas 2021 Episode 1: The Commercialization of ChristmasWelcome to the Simplify Jesus Podcast! This week is the first Christmas episode for 2021, where Bill and Matt discuss the commercialization of Christmas. There are many studies that most of us don't enjoy the commercial side of Christmas that's become all about having to have the latest gizmo or gadget or catching the latest big sale. Instead, Christmas should really be all about time with family and friends and remembering that it is always better to give than to receive. ____________________________________________________________________________Scripture and other ReferencesMatthew 25:35-40 - The Least of TheseJohn For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.Studies Referencedhttps://mint.intuit.com/blog/money-etiquette/holiday-spending-statistics/https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/12/19/what-do-americans-like-least-about-christmas-follow-the-money/https://www.statista.com/press/p/christmas_newyears_survey_us/____________________________________________________________________________Message us at [email protected] for questions or comments.
