For people who have cancer - or any serious illness - it can be hard to feel joyful during the holidays. But those who've struggled before have found ways to cope.

A Season’s Griot celebrates Kwanzaa with traditional African-American songs and stories for and about children. Hosted by Madafo Lloyd Wilson, this hour-long program presents original works of poetry, music and prose.

Starting at 8pm, it's "Northern Lights" - Cheryl Willoughby's annual singing, dancing celebration of the winter solstice. At 9pm Joe Goetz's "Christmas Classics" visits several Scandinavian countries for a quiet, snow-covered hour of choral music.
