I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas....if you celebrate Christmas. If not, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. I wish all the best for you and your family. Remember, all the graphs, models, and theories of economics are just designed to make our lives better off. Take some time in the next few weeks to appreciate all that you have and be sure to spend some time with your family. Thank you for making 2017 so fun. I can't wait to make more econ videos in 2018.
