Summary

Restaurants are crawling with germs. It’s not all the restaurant’s fault – where there are people, there are going to be germs. This episode begins with a look at the germiest things in restaurants that you may want to avoid touching or at least wipe down. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/19/germ-infested-areas-restaurants_n_2159281.html Christmas is chock full of customs. We travel home for the holidays, we wrap Christmas gifts, we eat Christmas foods, we sing Christmas songs, and the list of customs goes on and on. Joining me to explain why we have these customs and where they came from is Brian Earl. He is host of the Christmas Past podcast https://christmaspastpodcast.com/podcast/ and author of the book Christmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday’s Traditions (https://amzn.to/3FoB3bt). It’s a great segment for anyone who loves Christmas. Talking with children is different than talking to other adults – or at least it should be. That’s according to my guest Rebecca Rolland, a speech pathologist, Harvard lecturer, and author of the book The Art of Talking with Children (https://amzn.to/3Y2nYgd). You will want to hear this conversation if you will be spending time with children during the holidays. It will provide great insight into how to have wonderful conversations with kids that benefit them and you. You have seen the sign that says, “Buy one, get one free” – right? And while that sounds enticing, it isn’t always such a great deal. Listen as I reveal some retail psychology that you need to be aware of. https://www.businessinsider.com/7-way-stores-trick-you-into-making-impulse-purchases-2012-5?op=1 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!
