The Big Question

This is NHPR’s The Big Question! We ask you a question about life in New Hampshire, you submit an answer, and your voice may be featured on air or online.

As we head into the holiday season, inflation is at 3.7%, gas is averaging more than $4 a gallon in New Hampshire and food costs are up year-over-year. The end of the year is often a time for shared meals, gift-giving and travel.

So for November's Big Question, we’re asking: Do your holiday spending plans look different this year?

Sara Plourde

Whether you’re paring back plans, or it’s business as usual, let us know if the costs of goods are impacting your holiday festivities.

Email your answer to voices@nhpr.org. We’ll get in touch with you, and you might hear yourself on All Things Considered.

Here's how to send us a voice memo using the NHPR mobile app:

  • Download the NHPR app by searching “NHPR” on the Apple App Store for iPhones or iPads, or the Google Play Store for Androids.
