Salt Lake City, UT – We're not the first ones to gripe about how commercial Christmas seems to have become. As long as there's been a Christmas there have been debates about how it should be properly celebrated. Today on RadioWest we're asking the question: How did it get this way? Doug explores the evolution of Christmas in America with the historian Penne Restad of the University of Texas at Austin. (Rebroadcast)
