This isn’t so much sneerworthy as depressing. I’m a surly atheist but I feel I have more Christmas spirit than this dude. Lighten up, have some eggnog, enjoy a holiday from theorizing and being the village explainer.

Yes you can even find plenty of earlier Scroogy-douchey-clueless economists, this is a semi-famous paper [The Deadweight Loss of Christmas](https://www.discuto.io/sites/default/files/dwl_of_xmas.pdf)

What's wrong with that paper? I only read the abstract but the premise seems solid
