SHOPOCALYPSE

This analysis of "What Would Jesus Buy?" by Maria Fernandez, Erin Docherty, and Xiaoran Peng explores the commercialization of Christmas. With retail spending in Australia increasing by 26% in December 2005, the film challenges the notion of Christmas as a celebration of faith over consumer capitalism. The discussion prompts reflection on the impact of shopping culture and the implications of holiday spending habits. Are we losing sight of the true meaning of Christmas amidst rising consumer demands?
