Two Views of Holiday Shopping

The holiday shopping season opened before dawn on the day after Thanksgiving. Retailers hope the forecast of a five percent increase in holiday spending is accurate. But an organization that promotes living simply says, the best gifts of all are probably not found on store shelves. Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles explores that question.

Jo Ingles is a professional journalist who covers politics and Ohio government for the Ohio Public Radio and Television for the Ohio Public Radio and Television Statehouse News Bureau. She reports on issues of importance to Ohioans including education, legislation, politics, and life and death issues such as capital punishment.
