Christmas didn’t disappear. It was repackaged.

This episode breaks down how Christmas shifted from a cultural and spiritual tradition into a consumer product. We look at how advertising, movies, celebrity branding, nostalgia marketing, and endless seasonal spending reshaped what the holiday represents and why so many people feel disconnected, exhausted, or strangely empty during it.

This is not a rant about joy or family. It’s an analysis of how capitalism learned to monetize emotion, tradition, and childhood nostalgia, and why opting out now feels almost impossible.

If Christmas feels louder, more expensive, and less meaningful than it used to, that isn’t a personal failure. It’s a system working exactly as designed.

This conversation is for anyone questioning holiday consumerism, cultural pressure, and what happens when meaning is replaced with marketing.
