Special Thanks INTRODUCTION Known unofficially for decades as the Old Pueblo, Tucson is building on its vibrant multicultural heritage to create a more urban, yet uniquely Southwestern-style future. The rest of the nation is taking notice that Tucson is on the upswing—a high quality of life, economic opportunity, lots to do and experience, and a happening dining, arts, entertainment, and local events scene. Tucson is being increasingly recognized for its livability, vitality, and cool factor. Tucson is a place like none other. Surrounded by five mountain ranges—the highest reaching more than 9,000 feet in elevation – and home to giant saguaro and other rare cacti in the heart of the living Sonoran Desert, Tucson enjoys an average 350 days of sunshine each year. Tucson hosts eclectic festivals and events year-round, most of them one-of-a-kind and home- grown, celebrating the region’s history and culture, visual and performing arts, a unique food heritage—Tucson is the first American city to be named a City of Gastronomy by UNESCO— local music, outdoor recreation, nature, science and technology, spectator sports, cycling and running.

Festivus Day Was Celebrated 31 Years Before “Seinfeld” Made It Famous (Video)
Festivus Day Was Celebrated 31 Years Before “Seinfeld” Made It Famous (Video) Festivus is held on December 23 each year. In a 1997 episode of the popular television comedy, Seinfeld, Festivus was brought to the masses when Frank Costanza (played by Jerry Stiller) explains he invented Festivus in response to the commercialism of Christmas. Its slogan is “A Festivus for the rest of us.” Seinfeld Scriptwriter Dan O’Keefe’s family had been celebrating their idea of Festivus since 1966. The holiday became part of popular culture when he introduced it in a 1997 episode of the comedy sitcom, Seinfeld. The holiday’s celebration, as it was shown on Seinfeld, includes a Festivus dinner, an aluminum “Festivus pole,” practices such as the “Airing of Grievances” and “Feats of Strength,” and the labeling of easily explainable events as “Festivus miracles.” Festivus traditions derived from the television episode and the original creator have been combined over the years. The Festivus pole is an unadorned aluminum pole displayed in the home. In the O’Keefe household, there was no Festivus pole, but instead, a clock was placed in a bag and nailed to the wall. Festivus dinner is served during the evening. Find “red” food such as spaghetti and meatballs or meatloaf. Traditionally the meal should be rich and red. Even spaghettios would work in a pinch. Side dishes can include tuna on toast, turkey chili, airline peanuts and pretzels. The menu is not set in stone, but alcohol is recommended. The Airing of Grievances occurs during Festivus dinner. Each person takes turns describing how the others have disappointed him or her over the past year.

Holiday Greetings - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia 11/15/10 12:15 AM Holiday Greetings from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
Holiday greetings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 11/15/10 12:15 AM Holiday greetings From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Holiday greetings are a selection of greetings that are often spoken with good intentions to strangers, family, or friends, in nations around the world, during the months of December and January. Holidays with greetings include Christmas, New Year's Day, Chinese New Year, Thanksgiving (United States), and Hanukkah. Some greetings are more prevalent than others, depending on the cultural and religious status of any given area. Typically, a greeting consists of the word "Happy" followed by the holiday, such as "Happy Eid", "Happy Hanukkah", or "Happy New Year", although the phrase "Merry Christmas" is a notable exception. In the United States, the collective phrase "Happy Holidays" is often used as a generic cover-all greeting for all of the Winter holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Controversy has arisen in the U.S regarding its usage of the phrase "Happy Holidays", as an alleged attempt to diminish the Christian elements of Christmas, although its use promotes other holidays commonly celebrated there. Contents 1 Merry/Happy Christmas 1.1 History of the phrase 2 Happy Holidays 3 Season's Greetings 4 Christmas and Holiday Greetings 4.1 Christmas Wishes (Non-English) 4.2 Non-English, Non-Christmas 4.3 English 4.4 Other 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Merry/Happy Christmas The greetings and farewells "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Christmas" are traditionally used in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia, commencing a few weeks prior to Christmas (December 25) of every year.

The Elephant and the Bird: Republican Candidates' Use Of
International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 4960–4982 1932–8036/20190005 The Elephant and the Bird: Republican Candidates’ Use of Strategy and Issue Framing in Twitter During the 2016 Republican Presidential Primaries DROR WALTER1 Georgia State University, USA YOTAM OPHIR University at Buffalo, State University of New York, USA Studies have demonstrated an increase in the use of strategy framing in coverage of political campaigns over the years, and during campaign cycles. Despite increases in politicians’ and voters’ use of social media, very little is known about the use of framing in e-campaigns. This study examines Republican presidential candidates’ Twitter activity during the 2016 primaries (more than 22,000 tweets). We find that only two candidates, Donald Trump, and John Kasich, have followed the news media tendency to emphasize strategy over issues. Also, candidates dedicated more than a third of their Twitter activity to updating followers on events and the campaign. Using time-series analysis, we found that the use of framing was dynamic over time, with issue framing increasing around debates and strategy around voting days. This study contributes to our understanding of the use of social media as a complementary and alternative method for direct communication between candidates and their voters. Keywords: framing, elections, e-campaigning, candidates–voters communication, social media, unsupervised machine learning, content analysis The 2016 race for the United States presidency was perceived by many to be unique because of the prevalence of “personal brawls . insults and name calling” (Bradner, 2016, para. 2), as well as a heightened candidates’ online activity in social media (Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017).

Religious Seasonal Decorations in Federal Government Buildings
(Slip Opinion) Religious Seasonal Decorations in Federal Government Buildings The Public Buildings Service of the General Services Administration may, consistent with fiscal law and the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause, broaden its policy govern- ing the purchase and display of seasonal decorations in the public spaces of federal properties to allow for the display of religiously significant seasonal decorations that are reasonably calculated to improve employee morale. January 15, 2021 MEMORANDUM OPINION FOR THE GENERAL COUNSEL GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION The Public Buildings Service (“PBS”) of the General Services Admin- istration (“GSA”) maintains a policy governing the purchase and display of seasonal decorations on federal properties under GSA’s jurisdiction, custody, or control. The current policy prohibits the purchase or display of any “religiously significant” seasonal decoration in the public spaces of such properties. The policy identifies certain “religiously significant” items, such as a cross, menorah, or crèche, and identifies other items that are not “religiously significant,” such as a Christmas tree or Santa Claus. Your office has asked whether these restrictions are compelled by fiscal law or by the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause, and whether there are circumstances in which GSA may or must permit the display of “reli- giously significant” decorations, whether purchased by GSA, other federal agencies, or federal employees. These questions implicate long-standing and long-accepted practices by which the federal government has recog- nized and accommodated the religious beliefs of the citizenry. We conclude that GSA may, consistent with fiscal law and the First Amendment, broaden its policy to allow for the display of religiously significant seasonal decorations that are reasonably calculated to improve employee morale.

The Travelin' Grampa
The Travelin’ Grampa Touring the U.S.A. without an automobile Focus on fast, safe, convenient, comfortable, cheap travel, via public transit. Vol. 7, No. 12, December 2014 Illustration credits: Jesus Birth, StoriesNow.com; painting by Giotto di Bondone at Scrovegni Chapel, Padua, Italy. Left: After traveling 120 miles from Nazareth to Bethlehem, Joseph and Mary arrive at Bethlehem, finding no room the inn pictured. Right: Mary, Jesus and Joseph during their flight into Egypt, a 310-mile trip. First Christmas story is largely about traveling Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus ordered a “census of the whole world” be taken. This required everyone returning to their ancestral homes to be counted. Thus, Joseph, a carpenter residing in Nazareth in Galilee, traveled with his wife, Mary, then pregnant, to Bethlehem in Judea, at least an 98-mile journey. Though the Romans built many nice roads, it’s likely the couple trekked 120 miles over unpaved and often hilly roads, to avoid crossing unfriendly Samaria, where bandits attacked caravans. They likely averaged 20 miles in a day, making their trip a difficult week-long experience. It’s believed Joseph walked while Mary rode a donkey. Well-to-do craftsmen such as Joseph and his father Jeremiah could afford to rent, or even own, a donkey. Mary’s parents, Joachim and Hannah, temple custodians, weren’t exactly poor either. Flight into Egypt a difficult and hectic 310-mile trip Not long after the birth of Jesus, his parents were warned to leave the country, to avoid him being killed by soldiers of King Herod of Judea.
