Inspired by and adapted from her breakout book 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess, 7 Days of Christmas takes Hatmaker's social experiments in seven key areas - food, clothes, spending, media, possessions, waste, stress - and turns them into thoughtful and practical generosity that captures the true spirit of Christmas.

7 Days of Christmas covers seven days during the Christmas season to practice both generosity and restraint in the areas related to the book. It will contain snippets of Jen's journey throughout to offer insight, humor, ideas, facts, and encouragement for the listener to consider while embracing this change, if only for 24 hours.

We'll see the reasons why each area is important to Jen and also applicable to most American families. We'll also see how that particular area of excess impacts the family unit, the community, and the world at large - complete with ideas on how to reduce thoughtless consumption and consider other practices that lead to less stuff but more joy.
