The ‘deck’ in “Deck the Halls” means “to decorate.”

But, it is not related or a shortening of ‘decorate.’

It comes from the Dutch word meaning “to cover.”

You also use it when you’re all “decked out.”

The absolute most memorable theater-going experience I have ever had was seeing "Schindler's List" in a small theater in Düsseldorf. The last 30-40 minutes were nothing but absolute silence and tears around me.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

This article does an excellent job explaining things I have been trying to explain to people for decades. It is a long but worthwhile read.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

Every good police state needs to have a surveillance network. A free one is just the icing on the cake.

So, the world seems like it is heading toward World War III and the US is led by an international joke while its military is led by an incompetent, alcoholic, frat boy...
