and consumers just push back their Christmas spending to the following week, it will have zero impact.

A boycott is a good first step, but we also need messaging about not buying excess items you don't need for Christmas. There is so much overconsuming at the holidays.

We need to spread messaging about instead of doing White Elephant exchanges, everyone at the office donates a few bucks to their favorite charity. Help a family in need.
