Every family has their family traditions when it comes to the holidays and especially the holiday of Christmas. For Suzanne and Bill, ever since they became parents, that included decorating their "humble abode", and putting up their massive Christmas-tree. As their family grows, with the birth of their daughter; Elizabeth, son; Oliver and their twin daughters; Candace and Carol Anne, so do their traditions, adding new ones along the way; ones that they'll cherish until the end of time.
It's easy to look at the Christmas season through rose colored glasses, but the scrappy radio show "The Other Side" makes it their mission to bring you a different point of view. Through a series of vignettes, host Thomas May guides his audience through moments that aren't exactly holiday card material: Camping out on line for a Black Friday sale, spending your first Christmas without a loved one, forced fun at the office holiday party...some funny, some poignant, all unexpected. The Other Side of Christmas is a heartfelt and humorous play about putting down the burdens of perfection and embracing what truly makes the holiday season special - each other.
