Why You Shouldn’t Buy Your Kids a Puppy for Christmas Each year, about 3.2 million animals are adopted from shelters. It’s a wonderful thing to adopt a pet and add them to your family. They teach you how to love and be loved. But, Christmas might not be the right time for buying a family dog or cat. Carrie Ward from the South Utah Valley Animal Shelter joins us today to talk about why you shouldn’t surprise your kids with a puppy for Christmas. Gift Buying Guide Regular presenter Gina James joins Lisa to talk about the best gifts to buy and the best memories they have of giving and receiving gifts. Johnson Files Shaun and Nicole Johnson plainly state their intention with their popular funny online videos found through Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube: “We hope to bring more laughter into this sometimes hard world.” Described as “an Instagram Comedy Channel for the whole family,” The Johnson Files are just funny.
