Black November and the shifting meaning of Christmas
Loading player...
Are we being taken for a ride?
In this reflective episode, our host tackles the commercial creep of Black November and the erosion of consumer trust. He questions whether the endless stretch of pre-Christmas sales is cheapening the meaning of the holiday and changing our perspective on what constitutes a "good deal."
The reflection shifts to a more personal space: the profound change in his family's Christmas tradition following his mother's move to a care home. This change serves as a potent reminder of the holiday's true value.
Ultimately, this is a lesson in intentional focus. Learn to use the ample "runway" provided by the long sales season to plan for the moments that truly matter - the connection, the family, and the people - rather than just the discounted things we buy.
