In the 8th episode of the Crossing Ideas Podcast, author and award-winning playwright Mark W Sasse recalls the hilarious story of trying to find a Christmas tree in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam in December of 1999. It was not an ordinary tree by any means, and it required climbing a tree to actually get it. This bizarre story allows Sasse to delve into the special moments of life which we all hold dear. He takes this strand and extrapolates into a look at religion in Vietnam and the beliefs, traditions, and ties that bind humans together.
Don't forget to check out Sasse's novels on his Amazon store, including his latest, Christmas in '45. https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0058BFJHU
