On Christmas Eve 2025, President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform and posted: "Merry Christmas to all, including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country, but are failing badly. We no longer have Open Borders, Men in Women's Sports, Transgender for Everyone, or Weak Law Enforcement."

Trump continued, " What we do have is a Record Stock Market and 401K’s, Lowest Crime numbers in decades, No Inflation, and yesterday, a 4.3 GDP, two points better than expected. Tariffs have given us Trillions of Dollars in Growth and Prosperity, and the strongest National Security we have ever had. We are respected again, perhaps like never before. God Bless America!!! President DJT."

But that post was just the beginning of Trump's Christmas posting blitz. He published more than 100 posts to his Truth Social account in the early hours of Christmas morning, the Independent reported....

The Rev. Jonathan B. Hall has a quick retort to people who demand we “Keep Christ in Christmas.”

“There is a quieter, graver danger that does not wait for December and does not end when the lights come down: Taking the Christ out of Christian,” Hall wrote for Religion News Services. “That happens whenever we subtract empathy from discipleship, whenever the self narrows our field of vision until we can no longer see the plight of our neighbor.”

Empathy is the pulse of the Christian, argued Hall. And to call it a sin is to “confuse the selfishness of self with the self-giving love of Jesus.”...

It's been no secret that First Lady Melania Trump has been accused of being a grinch, but an analyst Thursday suggested that she could be "quiet quitting" Christmas — and her marriage.

Salon's Andi Zeisler pointed out how "first lady's retreat from the holiday season suggests a deeper kind of disengagement" and that her lackluster book reading to children this holiday season shows she has done "the barest minimum required."

"And it wasn’t surprising that when it came time for the annual tradition of reading a picture book to children at Washington, D.C.’s Children’s National Hospital, the least-enthusiastic first lady in living memory did not bring her A game," Zeisler wrote. ...

A MAGA lawmaker's own base rejected her this weekend after she posted a Christmas-themed seasonal photo without saying, "Merry Christmas."

U.S. Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), 48, reportedly "set the world on fire" on Saturday by releasing a photo of herself that some have said suggests she is pregnant. That photo led to confused comments from those who weren't sure if she was in fact making such an announcement.

But there was another type of comment, specifically from the most fervent MAGA supporters who follow Mace....

The White House Monday revealed its holiday decor, debuting a lego-designed portrait of President Donald Trump and the nation's first president, George Washington — garnering plenty of criticism of the first lady and the administration.

Social media users had a range of responses to the new images of the designs, which were selected by First Lady Melania Trump and released in a new video posted on the White House's social media accounts.

"Home Is Where the Heart Is — AMERICA’S CHRISTMAS," wrote the first lady....

First lady Melania Trump spent less than three minutes at a White House Christmas event on Monday before running off.

Trump was seen taking photos and shaking hands after a horse-drawn carriage brought the White House Christmas tree. She then exited the location in about two minutes and 50 seconds, The Daily Beast reported.

She also shared a sneak peek of this year's look in a video posted on X, showing a potential gold aesthetic this holiday season — a favorite decor hue among the Trump White House. ...
