We're returning to our first Christmas with you all with this re-release!
Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, it's hard to avoid it. Not only is it a day of celebration for Christian religions, but it has become commercialized and commodified for the sake of consumption and capitalism. Christmas also has a strong culture associated with it, full of rituals and traditions--from decorating the tree to gift-giving to singing in groups in front of people's houses. Join us this week as we discuss these rituals, and get some tips from our amazing sociology gift guide!
