UCLA Sociology professor and undergrad co-chair, Jessica Collett, talks about society’s emphasis on holiday traditions; how these customs change after divorce; and how to handle these often-uncomfortable changes. Host Glass queries her on age-old traditions, how to create new ones, and how to adapt to them. She points to the use of sensitivity toward family members; most notably the children during this life-altering transition. Dr. Collett suggests flexibility, defining core values relative to holiday tradition changes, and letting the whole family create new holiday customs.
