All these so called “heritage Americans” out here yet NO ONE has mentioned THIS legendary Yuletide incident of classic Americana!!!!! Here’s yuor yearly reminder: If you’ve never heard of the West Point Egg Nog Riot of 1826 this is worth a read. It’s a rare event wherein Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, James Monroe, and John C. Calhoun are all involved:

Father Frost, Jack Sparrow, Snow Maiden and Chief are the most unusual guests at the children's Christmas party in Barnaul
New Year's parties for children are in full swing and Barnaul is no exception. The workers at the Stalin Center were filled with a patriotic spirit and decided to show children what heroes they should love. According to the traditions of all children's parties, Father Frost and Snow Maiden fought evil, saving the New Year. Only instead of the usual Baba Yaga, the antagonist was the Western Jack Sparrow (aka Barmaley the Liberal).
Snegurochka told the children an instructive story about Western enemies and suggested that they drive away "Liberal Barmaley" with joint efforts. The kids liked the idea, and after the holiday everyone was offered to take a photo with the Christmas tree and a cardboard figure of Stalin, who had been keeping order throughout the entire party.
The leader, by the way, was not wearing a ceremonial uniform, but an everyday gray one.

TIL Home Alone was responsible for making Kevin the number one name in Germany in 1991. Later, the name became associated with low social status in the country, which led to the coining of the German word, Kevinismus, meaning the negative preconception German people give to trendy exotic names

From my friend, John Plaice:
It's Christmas soon. Here is a video from 1978, when Luciano Pavarotti sang in Notre-Dame de Montréal. I remember watching it on TV with my parents that Christmas Eve, and regret not knowing about it beforehand, so we could attend in person.

BUMPED 12-24-2024 I’m a little too busy to do anything. A redemption story for Christmas? The nerve of some people! This is exactly the kind of excellence that Disney can no longer achieve. This was advertised as a Netflix Original. Which is a lie, but I understand why Netflix does this. Calling something a Netflix […]
