"A Warhol Christmas at the White House" December 24, 2009 | 10:10 am When it comes to art, the right-wing anti-Obama crowd hasn't had a very good year. Repeated efforts to gin up outrage in a manufactured culture war have either fallen flat or proved downright embarrassing. (You can see some of them here, here and here.) The latest fiasco is the Great Christmas Ornament Scandal. On Tuesday, Andrew Breitbart's Big Government blog got its knickers in a twist over one of th ...

After the presents are opened and the meal is finished, what do you actually DO? I really don't like it when everyone just sits and there and watches TV but that is what happens when eventually everyone gets bored. Does anyone have any interesting traditions? ...

Hope all of you wonderful ladies had a good Christmas!!! My fabulous husband got me for tickets to see Bon Jovi in July. I have been waiting over 20 years to see them live and can hardly wait. What did you get for Christmas that you loved??? ...

Is there anyone else who's spending Christmas alone? This is the first time for me, and I'm having a tough time dealing with it. ...

Or your Hanukkah table or however you choose to celebrate the season? I'm not here to split hairs on what we call it. I just thought it would be interesting to share some of our favorite foods of the season....maybe a recipe or two. Texas Pecan Cake (courtesy of my mom) makes a regular appearance on our table. We don't like fruitcake in our house, but this is the Texas version, chock full of pecans and raisins. Peanut Butter Balls, also known as Buckeyes, are ...

We put an angel. When I was growing up it was always a star.What do you put on top? ...

When you buy cards - what kind do you typically go for ?? Do you get..... Religious, Santa, Funny, Primitive, Etc??What do you say? Do you just sign your name, or do you add a line too?We send about 50-60 cards. Due to the amount we send, we're always having to buy new for the next time anyway. LOL Though I will say, the best time to buy is at the end of the year THIS year. Not next Christmas season, buy them when they're on Clearance for 75% off! ...

I say there are two kinds of people in this world, those who like fruitcake and those who don't; my son tells me I am wrong, there are three kinds of people in this world, those who are good at math and those who are not. I like fruitcake, I admit it, I'm not ashamed to say so -- so last night I bought a little itty-bitty $3.99 fruitcake to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas with a cup of herbal tea and a small slice after I finish work. My son, on the other hand, says "Ug ...

I know I am better off than many....but this is my first Christmas since my divorce. My family lives in Florida. One family member lives near but is very sick and can't come tomorrow. My children have been gone all day to the celebrations that I have done with my ex-husband's family for the last 20 Christmases. I need to put on some Christmas music and finish wrapping my children's gifts I guess. I just feel so sad today :( ...

Hey Everyone! I have a 4-year-old girl and a 5-year-old girl. Anyone with that age group have any ideas for Christmas for them, or what are you getting your children of that age group? Also, how many presents do you get our children? ...

Need advice. We have friends with a 10 YO and an 8 YO. This may sound silly - but I feel that our friendship has evolved to that of us going to visit them, us sending gifts for holidays, us emailing and calling them. We always get lovely thank you notes, but they live two hours away and they haven't been to our house in about five years and we haven't been to theirs in 2 years (husband refuses to go over there until they come here)! . Am I beating an old re ...

We go to my daughter' house for Christmas every other year, and they come here every other year. I have 2 grandchildren. My daughters' mother-in-law comes to my daughter's house every other year, and goes to other family the next year when they come to my house. This mother-in-law does not come to my house because she "does not feel comfortable" here. No other reason given. My daughter tells me it is because she is very competitive and has o ...

This will make you believe in Santa! ...

I just wanted to share this with everyone as I think it is so awesome. My church had a Christmas Eve service last night. We sang carols, the old ones. Now my church is small and our choir during the year has at best 20 members. A lot of people came in for the holidays to spend with their families and some of them joined our choir for the service which raised it up to about 30 members, more or less. Well the main hymn, anthem or whatever was the Halleuia (?) chorus from Handel's messiah ...

With Christmas Eve fast upon us, I would like to wish a very Merry Christmas to all my Christian friends on this board and out there in cyberspace! I wish you and yours a Merry and Happy Christmas. May 2016 be the year the world moves toward peace! ...

At my husband's family get together last weekend, I realized that my husband's family is just too huge to keep buying individual Christmas presents (15 adults and 5 kids, not counting his dad and my parents) plus our 3 kids so I've decided to get nice containers like a hatbox and fill it with baked goods, spiced pecans and jar mixes for each family. So my questions are: What jar mixes do you like to give/receive? What baked goods do you like to give/receive? TIA ...

My husband lost his job in June and was out of work until October when he started working as a relief driver for a company delivering bread then in November was laid off. We have had a very hard year and now that Christmas is here he is still out of work and still no word from unemployment, so we are living on my salary just scraping by. Each of the boys are getting one gift but we are not buying anything for each other. I am making him a '12 Days of Christmas Coupon Book& ...

The world is full of smart ***!!! LOL :) I tried to paste just the picture to this post but I don't know how!!! ...

These are great. The second link is TSO, and I really love them, especially this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7pH-GU_5gA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szLmAPW39uE ...

Every year since my 2000 wedding have spent Christmas Day with hubs family (have daughter by another marriage, grown and out of the home). My SIL (hubby's brother's wife) and I have exchanged the dinners since the other participants really too old (70s and 80s) to host everyone, quite an ordeal to arrange for say about 15 people. I hosted dinner in 2007 and asked last year by SIL to host again and she would do this year. Have heard nothing about dinner until yesterday (10 days prior to ...

We have been warned that we will be getting 1 foot of snow here in southwest Virginia this weekend. I wouldn't mind except we always lose our power. They also said to expect snow on Christmas Eve next week. Yippeee! I have not had a white Christmas in a long time!!! ...

I have to admit I can't stand the "Christmas Shoes" song. I have a high tolerance for schmalz, but that's over the top for me. I change the radio station when that comes on. I'm sorta on the fence about "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas". It's kind of cute, but it has the disadvantage of sticking in my head and I end up singing it the rest of the day! Anyone else? ...

I'm finally getting into the Christmas mood. I have Harry Connick, Jr's "When My Heart Finds Christmas" playing and I LOVE it. My favorites are It Must've Been Ol' Santa Claus and Ave Maria. He has such a beautiful voice and is such a great performer. ...

Oldest son - check Youngest son - check Daughter-in-law-to-be - check Brother - just have to order it....he is so hard to buy for. Mom - not quite sure yet but I think I know, so that's settled....almost....lol All i have yet to get is stocking stuffers, and I've already picked up several of those. I missed last Christmas (and Thanksgiving, and my birthday, and almost New Year's Day) due to being in the hospital, so I'm getting excited about this Christmas.&n ...

a great site for good x-mas recipes is sugarduchess.com...lachelle is awesome and i went to the store today and bought everything for about 10 recipes today...you should see her eiffel tower cake...amazing...very inexpensive ingredients too...gonna make her banana almond cake and almond cherry cookies tomorrow (love almonds), but ya gotta see that eiffel tower cake...happy holidays!!! ...

This is beyond the pale in its audicity -- and political STUPIDITY. With everyone out of work and/or broke, now only ~46 days before Christnmas, Obama imposes a 15-cent-per-tree tax for sellers of over 500 trees to pay. OF COURSE, LIKE ALL SUCH TAXES, this will be passed on to the CONSUMERS, resulting in HIGHER PRICES. What an unbelievably STUPID move poitically -- this one will go down in the history books. Everyone is already calling him "Grinch." ...

Just thought I'd share a little funny that I heard from another MT. :-) ...

I know the whole, "better to give than receive" and "Children should know the real meaning of Christmas" etc., I was just wondering with the prices of items today how much does a personal typically spend on their children for Christmas? My husband always complains and says I spend too much on ours and I tried to cut back this year, but still ended up spending around $1500 on two children, ages 9 and 12 and really it looks like they are having a very small Christmas. I am not complain ...

I just finished having myself a little crying jag after getting some very bad financial news when I looked at my mail. It's important to try to hang onto some hope, but this last revelation feels devastating. Only God can fix this. Merry Christmas and God bless all of you. ...
