The Backstory: Making a Statement With “A Christmas Carol”

On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy is joined by actress Jennifer Love Hewitt to debate all things holidays and New Year’s. Known as “The Holiday Junkie,” Jennifer is the perfect guest to weigh in on some seriously heated topics like: Should Christmas decorations stay up past New Year’s? The Holiday vs. Love Actually?
