On this week’s Food for Thought, host Julia Monczunski presents a special, pre-recorded edition. We’ll take a look at the history of Christmas and hear the stories behind some of the holiday traditions with author Bruce David Forbes. His book, Christmas: a Candid History, was just released. Later in the hour we’ll hear from SDSU Professor Charles Woodard about the book On the Homefront. Dr. Woodard served as editor of this collection of war stories.
