This episode of At Week's End with Neil Boggs discusses Consumers: The Commercial Side of Christmas. Boggs talks with local sociologists about the commercial stress on Christmas: why consumers spend, spend, spend during the holiday season. Is this a phenomena sparked by advertisers, media, or retailers themselves? Have we lost the real meaning of Christmas? Guests: Christine Robinson (Unitarian Church Minister) and Russell L. Long (Graduate Student, Sociology, University of New Mexico). For the Week's Review segment with Fred McCaffrey (Santa Fe Reporter) events and news from the week are discussed, including: Upcoming Legislative Session with Rodger Beimer.
