CHRISTMAS IS ON HOLD… AND MAYBE IT’S NOT COMING
Christmas is the most magical time of the year and an $8 billion industry in the United States but now it’s in jeopardy. You see, all of the businesses that design, sell, distribute, and retail Christmas items are at risk of going out of business even before the calendar hits December 25th.
Christmas businesses cannot survive the 145% tariffs imposed by the government.
The Christmas industry is big business in the US. There are dozens upon dozens of US importers and hundreds of retail stores that rely on their products. With 90% of all Christmas products produced in China and no US manufacturing options, the importers must place their orders at the beginning of the year to allow enough time for the goods to be manufactured in China, transported across the ocean to be warehoused and distributed to retail stores. Retail stores in turn, must have enough time to set up their store’s displays and price all the merchandise.
None of that is happening right now because no one can survive a 145% TAX added to the costs.
145% TARIFFS = NO CHRISTMAS

If we don’t act now, then the magic of Christmas is going to dry up when all of those importers and retail stores go out of business in a matter of months.
