December Around the World with Jennifer Reason
Christmas carols are everywhere this time of year! They are in department stores and restaurants, in your home and on the radio - honestly, it's hard to escape them. However, Christmas isn't the only holiday folks celebrate in December. There's Hanukkah and Kwanzaa and others like Bodhi Day, the Feast of St. Nicholas, Krampushacht, Our Lady of Guadalupe and plenty more.
Join Jennifer Reason for CapRadio's holiday extravaganza December Around the World to hear how other countries and cultures celebrate their favorite year-end holidays and learn some of the tunes that they might be humming.
