Reclaiming the Holidays

Nicholas Jones

We’ve made it through Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, but the ads keep coming and will continue for the next three weeks. For many, this emphasis on the material aspects of the holiday season can become overwhelming and may even overshadow the joy and fun of this special time of year.

Susan Salterberg and Carole Yates from theReclaim Your Holidays project at University of Northern Iowa, discuss how you can shift the focus back to the things that matter. Also, listeners join the conversation to share how they reclaim their own holiday traditions.
