Backstories of Christmas Songs and Traditions & How to Have the It Factor

We all know how easy it is to overspend when we go shopping. Plus, it is no secret that retailers do everything they can to encourage you to spend even more while you are in the store. This episode begins with some strategies to help you spend a bit less and avoid those impulse purchases that you often wish you hadn’t made once you get home. http://www.womansday.com/life/work-money/g1877/how-to-stop-impulse-buying/ Why do people kiss under the mistletoe? Why do we drag evergreen trees into our homes and decorate them with ornaments? Why is Jingle Bells such a popular Christmas song when it is really a Thanksgiving song?

He joins me to explain how anyone can acquire the It factor even if you consider yourself shy or introverted.
