The cost of returning an unwanted Christmas gift: Tuesday, Dec. 26

The presents are unwrapped, your thank-you notes and mostly written and now it's time to return those unwanted items. But the days of getting a free return or exchange could be finished. Ben Thompson connects the dots on why some retailers are doing away with free returns for holiday gifts and why others, like Amazon and Kohl's, are teaming up to provide expanded customer service to win over hesitant holiday shoppers. The North Carolina Transportation Museum wrapped up its annual Polar Express spectacular and is transitioning to winter holiday rides. But there's a lot more to these rides than hopping on an old locomotive. Destiny Richards interviewed museum leaders who say buying your ticket is like experiencing a ride through history in the tiny town of Spencer.
