Christmas 2021 Episode 1: The Commercialization of Christmas

Welcome to the Simplify Jesus Podcast! This week is the first Christmas episode for 2021, where Bill and Matt discuss the commercialization of Christmas. There are many studies that most of us don't enjoy the commercial side of Christmas that's become all about having to have the latest gizmo or gadget or catching the latest big sale. Instead, Christmas should really be all about time with family and friends and remembering that it is always better to give than to receive.
