‘Skating by Moonlight’
Artist: Ronald Lampitt
Aerial view in a very limited, almost monochrome palette. We are looking down on a pond at midnight in bright moonlight. The figures and skaters on the pond are in silhouette as are the winter trees surrounding it.

As a former (and hopefully future) handspinner and weaver, this song reminds me of the good wishes baked/spun/woven/painted/sewn into things that are lovingly handmade.
May your holidays be filled with comfort and joy.

Sorry to hear you're suffering - sometimes a quiet Christmas is the way to go. Just me & the dogs this year having a chilled out time in rural Mayo. The donkeys next-door came down to say hi this morning so I'm sending you their loveliness and good wishes.

Maybe CBS can accidentally send the unredacted Epstein files to their Canadian affiliates as well 🤔

‘Visits’

View looking down on a suburban house and garden at dusk on a snowy winter’s evening. A family of five arrive at the front door of a cheerful, illuminated and decorated house at Christmas time.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

The Ghost Story, Alfred Bestall, 1930
#Christmasghoststories
An old man with a cane in a chair is silhouetted against the fire. He is telling a Christmas ghost story to a group of adults and children while a giant ghostly knight leans on the mantlepiece, listening.
