On this week's program:
Thanksgiving is the busiest travel season of the year. Well this year, at about a dozen
airports around the U-S, travelers bustling home for the holidays may have noticed
more than the usual number of mothers nursing their babies. 51%'s Pat Bradley explains why...

While you were traveling, or cooking, or eating this holiday season...were you secretly making a holiday gift list in your head... and maybe wondering how your going to pay for it? The holiday season is that wonderful time of year that brings good cheer and empty wallets to one and all. Is it possible to get your holiday shopping done and still have some cash left over for the new year...51%'s financial expert Susan Sweetser is with us today... and she says it is. She spoke with Mary Darcy.

In old holiday movies, you see at this time of year...like The Bells of Saint Mary's... Catholic nuns play a prominent role. But these days, classic movies may be one of the few places to find them. We hear a lot about the shortage of priests ...but in the last 40 years the Catholic Church has lost nearly 100 thousand nuns. Arielle trimm has more.

Last week on the program, we shared essays of hope and thanksgiving. But how do you find hope when you grow up in the midst of chaos and tragedy? Feticia Thompson found a way.
