From a #Christmas hike a few years back on the Ladder Canyon Trail in Painted Canyon, just southeast of Palm Springs, California.

I don't put up a #ChristmasTree at home, but here's a very festive one I caught earlier in the season at Union Station.

Glad to see so many folks have survived another #WarOnChristmas, celebrating freely and wishing one another #MerryChristmas without fear.

Fun fact, Christians (Fake, obviously) were the only ones to ever ban Christmas in America.

Today, people consider "Yule" synonymous with "Christmas." But centuries ago, Yule meant something different — a pagan mid-winter festival, dating back to pre-Christian Germanic people.
How cozy Yuletide traditions got their start with raging parties and animal sacrifice

People get big mad at stores making employees work on #Christmas, but sure love going out to the movies as part of their "family tradition," and don't seem to have any problem with all the workers at the sportsball arenas during the big games today.

Merry Christmas to all, including the right-wing deplorables, neo-Nazis, Christofascists, and masked Gestapo terrorizing communities. Rich oligarchs are hoarding wealth like never before and average people are struggling. Our president is a pedophile. Thank you for your attention to this holiday!

Fun Christmas fact: there was never a Roman census that required citizens to return to their city of birth.

Shots fired at Nakatomi Plaza. Possible hostage situation unfolding in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve.

Is Obama perfect?

Of course not.

Is he light years ahead of the 🍊🤡👑 in the White House—or, more appropriately, golfing at one of his golf clubs on taxpayer money?

You're goddamn right.
Leadership isn't a gala with billionaires at Mar-a-Lago; it’s a surprise visit to a children’s hospital. Remember which one actually served the people.

It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

If you want a fun and wholesome Bible-based Christmas activity, try to take both versions of Jesus' birth story into one cohesive narrative. 👍

Anyone else remember when "A Christmas Story" was THE Christmas movie?

After dinner last night, stopped off at a little specialty cookie shop.

Cashless, because of course it is, but I gave the nice little Gen Z girl working a cash tip, and she was very confused as to what to to with it.

It's called "money." You put it in your pocket. It's yours now.

One... cut a whole in a box.

Two... put your junk in the box.

Three... make her open the box.

And that's the way you do it.

Snapshot from another cool but more easily accessible spot outside of Las Vegas—Nelson, NV.

Collection of old cars and whatnot. Popular for weddings and engagement photos, and used in movies like "Breakdown" and "3000 Miles to Graceland."

Please let them know if you find Jesus.
Sad news: someone stole baby Jesus from our anti-ICE nativity. But vandalism cannot stop us. We just adapt and keep on critiquing this administration’s cruelty on immigration. Where’s baby Jesus? We don’t know. He is being detained in a labyrinthian hellscape where his loved ones cannot find him.
