Perspective Podcast - November 22, 2013

In this holiday edition of Perspective...

Hot Tech Gifts
Tech gifts are among the most sought after items every year, and 20-13 is no different.  Whether it's a new tablet, smartphone, camera or laptop, it's important to have the right information to find the perfect device.  For that, we turn to ABC's Alex Stone.

Shopping for Him and Her

Now, what about those on your shopping list who might be less than enamored with a hi-tech smoke alarm, or even the latest tablet or camera ... we're talking about those loved ones that are among the hardest to shop for.  Whether you're shopping for your significant other, parent, child, or sibling, ABC's Scott Goldberg has more on gift ideas this holiday season.

Finding the Best Deals
We're all looking for the best deals this holiday season, and ABC's Cheri Preston has some tips to help you out.

Gift-Giving Etiquette
Gift-giving etiquette can be cause for stress around the holidays.  Who are you obligated to buy something for at the office?  When is a gift card appropriate?  How about rules for re-gifting?  To answer those questions and more, we bring in Mr. Manners, Thomas Farley.

Holiday Hosting

Hosting a holiday party sounds like a great idea, until you find yourself knee deep in the preparation it involves.  From decorating, to cooking and entertaining, it can be a lot of work, but there *are* ways to make it easier.  For that we turn to ABC's Daria Albinger.

Seasonal Cocktails
One more element for the perfect holiday party ... seasonal cocktails ... drinks that go above and beyond merely popping open a few bottles of wine or putting some beers on ice, and you don't have to be a master mixologist to tackle these concoctions.  Here's ABC's Michael Barr.

Spicing Up Holiday Recipes
Food is the centerpiece of holiday celebrations, and ABC's Cheri Preston help brings some variety to your dinner table.

Thanksgivukkah
This Thursday, Thanksgiving coincides with the first day of Hanukkah.  It's the first time that's happened since President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a federal holiday in 1863.  And according to one analysis of the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars, the two holidays won't coincide again for another 77-thousand years.  To commemorate the occasion, ABC's Scott Goldberg brings us Thanksgivukkah.
