The Imaginative Conservative: "The Cultivation of Christmas Trees"
Christmas evokes a range of attitudes, from commercialism to childlike wonder. The essence of the holiday should be preserved, focusing on joy, reverence, and the spirit of amazement that comes with traditions, rather than succumbing to fatigue or cynicism.
As we reflect on these experiences, it is essential to maintain the emotional richness of Christmas, allowing memories to culminate in joy and a deeper understanding of the holiday's significance.

Fox News: Biden's rationale behind Christmas present for death row killers foggy at best: experts
President Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal death-row inmates to life in prison without parole, citing a belief that the federal death penalty should be limited. The three inmates not included in this decision are high-profile mass murderers Robert Bowers, Dylann Roof, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
The move has drawn mixed reactions, with some praising it as a step toward criminal justice reform, while others criticize the lack of clarity in Biden's rationale. Critics argue that the decision may disregard the severity of the crimes committed by those whose sentences were commuted.
The Western Journal: Leftist Congresswoman Responds to Biden's Death Row Commutations with Absurd ‘Racist’ Claim
Rep. Ayanna Pressley praised President Biden for commuting the death sentences of 37 federal inmates, labeling the death penalty as "racist." She argued that it disproportionately affects Black and brown communities and called for its abolition.
Critics contend that her claims lack evidence and that Biden's decision reflects a flawed understanding of justice, as some inmates who committed heinous crimes remain on death row. The debate highlights ongoing tensions surrounding race and capital punishment in America.
