About the Program:

Christmas is upon us, and Alan Jones holds nothing back when it comes to seasonal political correctness. He makes no bones about bristling every time someone says, "Happy Holidays!" and wishes there was more sensitivity shown towards believing Christians at this time of year. Come hear Grace Cathedral's outspoken Dean as he defends the lost meaning of Christmas.
