arget is under fire once again - this time for selling LGBTQ+ styled Christmas decorations. And conservatives are NOT having it. One of the new items on the chain's inventory is a 2023 nutcracker decoration which features the nutcracker in a jacket with a pride flag running down the middle, a pride flag hat, and a pride flag in his hand. I say “his” hand loosely, as the statue also has pink hair, eyeshadow, and feminine eyelashes. Perhaps he's a drag queen as well. Another new item this year is a Christmas snow globe with a rainbow heart in the...

Bournemouth Echo ^ | 7 January | By Sarah Cartlidge
ARE you leaving your Christmas decorations up to cheer yourself up this winter? Christmas may have come and gone but some householders are choosing to keep their trees up. Twelfth Night, which fell yesterday, is traditionally the time people take their tinsel, trees and other trinkets down with many believing it’s bad luck to keep them up. However, English Heritage is appealing to the public to follow the traditions of their medieval ancestors and leave festive decorations up until Candlemas on February 2.

First lady Melania Trump has decked the halls for the holiday season. Trump unveiled the theme of this year’s White House Christmas decorations: “America the Beautiful,” chosen to honor “the majesty of our great Nation.” “Over the past four years I have had the honor to travel to some of our nation’s most beautiful landmarks and meet some of the most compassionate and patriotic American citizens. From coast to coast, the bond that all Americans share is an appreciation for our traditions, values, and history, which were the inspiration behind the decorations this year,” the first lady said in a...

Once upon a time, the New Republic was a respected journal of political thought. Its decline accelerated under the ownership of Facebook-enriched Chris Hughes, and nothing has changed now that liberal banking heir Winthrop McCormack, bought the failing periodical three years ago. Take, for example a December 19 screed by David Roth, who "was an editor at Deadspin," the left-wing sports blog. Roth's verbose critique of Melania Trump's Christmas-decorations video was titled "A Unified Theory of the Trumps’ Creepy Aesthetic." Roth implies the Trumps have caused a rip in the fabric of the universe, as revealed in the subtitle: "The bloodless...

Melania Trump officially unveiled the Christmas decorations of the White House on Sunday evening in a festive video in which the first lady put the finishing touches to the patriotic-themed display. In a nod to the Be Best campaign by Melania, an ornament with a scrabble theme describes the characteristic initiative of the first lady. Other decorations seem to continue the play concept for children, with domino pieces and playing cards hanging on the tree.

"Maintenance - holiday decorations need to be removed," the letter obtained by NBC affiliate WOAI in San Antonio reads. "Please remove the snowman until closer to the holiday season." Simonis said she and her family have lived in the subdivision for four years and have never received a letter like this before.

Tis the season to be jolly... unless you happen to be a sourpuss like this miserable cat. Hilarious footage shows the feline, named Taiga, taking an instant dislike to Christmas decorations on a bookshelf. The Calico cat is clearly very resistant to the impact of the festive season on her personal domain.

RUSH: I was at the White House for a Christmas reception, and (chuckles) I got an email, “Rush, I thought they canceled the media party.” They did. “Well, then what were you doing there?” I’m not the media that was canceled. Anyway, I took some pictures. I didn’t have much free time. But I stole away from people, and I whipped out my iPhone XS Max — which has one of the greatest smartphone cameras made in the world today — and I snapped some pictures of the decorations. My first White House Christmas party of any was during the...
