Non-Christians and Christmas

It's the Christmas Day Special from The News Hour.  We hope you and your family had a wonderful celebration.What about those people who don't celebrate the religious portion of December 25th?  Today we visited with three of them.  Our first guest is "Realist" Bruce Stone.  He doesn't have much time for religion of any form.  Then we asked our friend Mark Finkelstein from the Jewish Community Relations Commission to talk about Jews and Christmas...and  is it true Jews celebrate with Chinese and a movie?  And then our newest friend Baljit Singh from the Sikh Temple of Des Moines. How does he, and his family, mark the day.An interesting discussion...  Thanks for coming by for a listen.Insight on Business with Michael Libbie is heard Monday - Friday from 5PM to 6PM on 1350-KRNT, Des Moines.
