00:00I love Christmas personally, but I think it's gone a long way out of the way we used to

00:07enjoy it as kids. It just seems, I understand how it's got to that, but it just seems so

00:12expensive for parents now, as we were when we were younger.

00:18Christmas spending, I think a lot of people end up massively out of pocket, because especially

00:22if you've got kids, social media, everybody's trying to imitate everybody else, and people

00:28are always showing what they have, they never show what they don't have, they never show

00:30the struggle, so people are kind of chasing that social media lifestyle, and I think, so

00:36you've got your normal spending, which people are struggling with, and then everybody's

00:40going to try and keep up with the Joneses, keep up with the Smiths, so I think it's going

00:43to have a massive effect, the kids are going to want certain things, adults want certain

00:47things, shopping as a general, when it comes up to Christmas, and I think people are going

00:52to be massively affected, and if not double or triple, and again, like I said, they're

00:56going to go into massive debt, going into the new year, just trying to keep up with everybody

00:59else.
