A cheerful Depression-era holiday greeting
A cheerful holiday greeting sent during the Great Depression? Isn't that somewhat contradictory? 1933 was a difficult year. Unemployment reached 25%, and gross domestic production was way down. The New Deal programs designed to boost the economy had not yet begun to achieve the helpful effects that would come in the next few years. Times were hard for many people across the United States and elsewhere in the world.
Despite the glum economic situation, the Pinero family used a brown paper bag to fashion an inexpensive holiday greeting card. They penned a clever rhyme and added some charming line drawings of Mom, Dad, and the kids with the message: "Oh, wellin spite of it allhere's a Merry Christmas from the Pineros." On December 19, 1933, they mailed it from Chicago to friends in Massachusetts, using a one-and-a-half-cent stamp. For a minimal outlay of cash, they were able to keep in touch with friends and comment on their reduced circumstances with wit and humor.
...
While we've done some searching in various places such as city directories and genealogical resources, we haven't yet been able to identify the senders, the Pineros. This card was saved by the recipients, the McCormicks of Attleboro, Massachusetts. It was donated by their son Peter McCormick, who wrote that he never knew the family who sent it to his parents in 1933.

Deplorable to Biden on Christmas Eve: "Let's go Brandon"
On a call with President Biden & First Lady Jill Biden intended for kids calling into NORAD to track Santa, a father ended the call by saying "Let's go Brandon," which is code for "F*** Joe Biden"
Biden replied, "Let's go Brandon, I agree."
Biden had just wished the father & kids a Merry Christmas for what it's worth & spent time asking the kids what they wanted for Christmas

Chris Noth: Fourth Woman Comes Forward With Sexual Assault Allegations
A fourth woman has come forward with allegations of sexual assault against Sex and the City actor Chris Noth.
Lisa Gentile, a New York singer, and her lawyer Gloria Allred held a video press conference Thursday to reveal Gentiles 2002 incident involving Noth, as well as lobby for New York State to pass the Adult Survivors Act (ASA) next year.
Allred opened her comments by noting that, due to the statute of limitations, Gentile is unable to pursue both criminal and civil charges against the actor. If and when it becomes law, those who were victimized in New York will have the right and opportunity to finally hold those who victimized them accountable in a court of law, Allred said.
Gentiles account like that of the third anonymous Noth accuser began at the New York restaurant Di Marino often frequented by the actor. Gentile says she and Noth first met in 1998 but would see each other at the restaurant over the next few years.
