Christmas traditions around the world vary. Here in the United States we've lost touch with what the season really means. Did you know that the average dollar spent is $1000USD per person, in this country? I don't know who these 'average Americans' are, but if I had to spend $1000 per person for my family of 6, and get in debt for $6000 during Christmas, that would be the last time I buy presents for anyone.  This is a major reason why Americans are in debt (aside from college and medical expenses). This debt, you could even argue, is worse than medical and college expanses because it is usually credit card debt; charged to high interest bearing bank cards. The kind of debt that takes these same 'average Americans' forever to pay back. This episode does not explore the expense but rather is a hodgepodge of our opinions surrounding holidays in general. Merry Christmas!
