Christmas is economically strange. We stop working. Spending surges. Profit stops mattering. Time off is normalised. Family and care come first.
And we accept all of this without question.
That should make us pause. Because if we can suspend the rules of economics at Christmas, then those rules were never inevitable in the first place.
This video is not about religion or ritual. It is about what the Christmas season reveals about our economic choices. It shows that we can pause economic activity, value rest, prioritise care, and organise work around life rather than the other way around.
Christmas proves that life is more than money — and that a better economy is possible.
The real tragedy is not Christmas excess. It is forgetting the lesson in January.
