This American Life's Holiday Gift-Giving Guide

Hosted by

Oh, they shouldn't have! Two grown sons show up on their mother's doorstep bearing a gift only a mother could love. Also the story of family that helped a neighbor.

And our gift to you, we play an original recording of Truman Capote, A Christmas Memory, and sounding eerily reminiscent of David Sedaris.
