Welcome back to Weekly Political Pep Talks! Today's main topic will be the Christmas economy. We'll start the episode with a quick intro then we'll get into three main current events for the week, regarding the Omicron variant’s effect on the holiday shopping surge, the rise in AMC stock as Spiderman No Way Home hits theaters, and a ceremony held in honor of Edwardsville tornado victims. Next, we'll move on to our main topic segment about the Christmas economy. We'll start with some definitions related to this topic, look at some background on the history of Christmas and how it's developed into the commercialized holiday we know today, then share our thoughts. If you have any thoughts you'd like to share with us, feel free to DM us on Instagram @weeklypoliticalpeptalks. That's it for today, so be sure to join us next week. Happy listening and stay political!
