South Dakotans reflect on the lessons of 'A Christmas Carol'

On today's show...

Wealth advisor Rick Kahler takes a hard look at how the characters of "A Christmas Carol" think about money and the financial lessons they impart to readers.

Bob Cratchit and Ebenezer Scrooge both have unhealthy money beliefs, but only Scrooge learns his lesson (1:00 to 20:23).

Then, the Premiere Playhouse in Sioux Falls brings "A Christmas Carol" back to its stage for its fourth annual production.

Director Oliver Mayes and actor Garrick Moritz talk about how they've found something in new in the timeless holiday story (20:24 to 35:11).

Plus, we jump to the other side of the state for another Christmas production. Director Melita Quinonez at Matthews Opera House previews performances of "A Christmas Story" (35:12 to 49:03).
