I am often asked if I celebrate Christmas, something usually asked by people who only know me casually. The question implies that to many Americans, the African continent is uniformly non-Christian, most likely Muslim. A Christmas celebration in Africa is therefore beyond their ken. The question’s implications traverse knowledge of history, geography and geopolitics. Of course, I and many I left behind in Africa, celebrate the birth of Christ. Colonial Africa was converted to Christianity by European missionaries. Worthy of mention is that prior to Whites’ arrival, many tribes had their god — the Kikuyu, my tribe, had Ngai — who was officially supplanted by Jesus. Often our Kikuyu Ngai was used in place of the Christian god. For Catholics the virgin birth was at the center of our faith. We celebrated Christ’s birth, with the Magi bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh; the manger signified implied poverty. Christmas was a worthy addition to our tribal celebrations. There was no red gowned, wool capped Santa Claus. My family went to the midnight mass, which with its celebratory rituals was full of light. As we suffered under the colonial yoke, we thought Jesus would save us. He understood our poverty, and knew our colonizer’s mind. But the White colonialists prayed to the same Jesus in their White churches. Such is the contradiction of humanity’s prayers to one God. We also sang and danced, dressed in our Sunday best on the dance floor, on sandy, dusty arenas where the clan congregated. Relatives came from far away to visit and renew the flame of family love. Commercial aspects of Western Christmas had not yet seeped into our psyches. Much has changed on the African continent, as it has around the globe. If at one time Christmas meant a holy celebration of Christ’s birth, for many today, Christmas’ meaning has changed. It’s now a time of commercial enterprise, when we buy presents. The power of the consumer is manifested by swings in the stock market. It has crossed the oceans and is now an important occasion across Asia, symbolizing the West’s cultural conquest of the world. A sign of global prosperity. If at one time bright colored lights festooned some homes in America and Europe, the reality today is the whole world loves yuletide’s bright colored lights. There no longer is a little Jesus in a cradle with a lugubrious ass eyeing him pitifully. Colored lights shine on expensive merchandise: gowns, jewelry, pricey clothing. I celebrate Christmas now by remembering how, as a poor boy, eyes full of envy, I looked at wealthy Asian and Arab merchants who had everything. In comparison we had nothing. The Bible castigates the indifferent wealthy — Pharisees and corrupt priests — people Christians of yore resented. Theirs was not the kingdom of heaven. Today, Christ’s name is used to fulfill so much that is patently un-Christian. It is unfortunate that many who no longer pay homage to the Christian church, agnostics, atheists and others, are more charitable, more humane, filling many more empty cups of the poor than those who claim devotion to their own effigy of Christ. Christ’s name has been used as a shield by many, including colonialists, who belong in purgatory. After deciding we have all we need, for some time now we no longer frequent malls. We feel the most important gift we can give each other is our company, friendship and love. More than anything, to soulfully sit in gentle conversation or in silence is the heaven we seek. Perhaps this was what the birth of Christ was meant to signify all of this time — charity and generous peace. Looking back at our Christmas celebrations in Africa living under our colonial masters fills me with a tinge of nostalgia. Not the kind you want to relive; but the kind you’re glad you passed through. When they ask me if I celebrate Christmas, I want to ask them if they, too, celebrate it. I want to know what Christmas is to them, and how they celebrate it. I of course imagine they spend weeks buying gifts. I can imagine their Christmas morning ritual; or the ritual of large numbers gathered together to exchange gifts, to sing, eat and drink. We can wish these occasions have more ethereal meaning, but perhaps it is enough that citizens meet and peacefully enjoy each other. Jesus’ birth, after all, meant peace on earth.

Department of Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday continued to dismiss the flood of drones across New Jersey, this time saying it is likely just the result of relaxed rules on the devices. Mayorkas seemingly downplayed the mounting concerns of residents including former Gov. Chris Christie — who reported some recently flying over his house — and again claimed there is no evidence of foreign involvement in the aeronautical phenomenon. “There’s no question that people are seeing drones. And I want to assure the American public that we, in the federal government, have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology, to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings,” Mayorkas told ABC News’ “This Week.” “Some of those drone sightings are, in fact, drones. Some are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones. And we do see duplicative reporting.” But Mayorkas explained that in September 2023, the Federal Aviation Administration tweaked its policy on drones to allow flights at night. “That may be one of the reasons why now people are seeing more drones than they did before, especially from dawn to dusk,” Mayorkas said. “I want to assure the American public that we are on it.” He has previously claimed the drones were likely just from “convenience stores.” Residents in New Jersey especially have been tormented by the sightings across Morris, Passaic, Bergen and Hunterdon counties which have been going on since at least Nov. 18. Some of the drones are reportedly as large as SUVs — and have been hovering over critical public infrastructure and flying in grid-like patterns as if mapping areas, according to local Jersey officials and residents. Some of the drones have now hit highly dense Essex County — home to Newark Liberty International Airport and the mega-busy Port of Newark. They also have made their way across areas of New York and the country. Some of the drones also supposedly fly at altitudes and speeds not previously commercially known. The lack of clarity from the feds has led to rampant speculation about what is behind the peculiar, lit-up objects buzzing around in the sky, with some positing that it’s a super-secret military project of sorts. New Jersey Congressman Jeff Van Drew last week claimed “highly reliable sources” with “top security access” told him the drones “very possibly could be” sent by an Iranian “mothership” off the coast. “We are working in close coordination with state and local authorities,” Mayorkas said Sunday. “And it is critical, as we all have said for a number of years, that we need from Congress additional authorities to address the drone situation.” Mayorkas said he wants more power for state and local officials to “counter drone activity under federal supervision.” He estimated that as many as 8,000 drones are flown in the US every day and more than 1 million are registered. Do you have footage of drones over the skies of New Jersey or New York? Send it to The Post at drones@nypost.com . Late last week, President-elect Donald Trump cast doubt on the notion that the federal government isn’t aware of where these drones are coming from and dangled the possibility of just shooting them down. While the government’s authorities are limited to do that in most cases, the feds will act quickly when drones hoover near sensitive restricted airspace, Mayorkas said. “We know of no foreign involvement with respect to the sightings in the northeast,” the homeland security secretary added. “And we are vigilant in investigating this matter. “It is our job to be vigilant in the federal government with our state and local partners on behalf of the American public.” The federal government has come under bipartisan fire for not being more upfront about the drone phenomenon and providing more answers about what’s happening. After the interview with Mayorkas, Christie ripped into the DHS secretary for downplaying the phenomenon. “I’ve lived in New Jersey my whole life. This is the first time that I’ve noticed drones over my house,” Christie said on the program. Late last week, Sen. Andy Kim (D-NJ) posted a thread detailing his own findings about the drone craze after consulting local authorities and civilian pilots. “I was with the help of civilian pilots and others able to do deeper analysis and concluded that most of the possible drone sightings that were pointed out to me were almost certainly planes,” Kim wrote on X . Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has requested a drone detection system get sent to New York and New Jersey. Schumer has also teased plans to fight for legislation aimed at bolstering state and local authority on the matter.For the Birds: The digital revolution of field guides, by Chris BosakChurch of Scientology Food Drive Makes Thanksgiving Special for 300 Local Families

(“Qurate Retail” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: QRTEA, QRTEB, QRTEP) announced that it received approval from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) to transfer the listing of the Company’s Series A common stock (“QRTEA”), Series B common stock, and 8.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Securities”) from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The listing of the Company’s Securities was transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on December 2, 2024. This follows the notice received from Nasdaq on June 10, 2024 that, based on the closing bid price for QRTEA for 30 consecutive business days, Qurate Retail no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Qurate Retail will be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market from December 2, 2024 through December 9, 2024 (the initial compliance date by which Qurate Retail was required to satisfy the Minimum Bid Price Requirement), following which Nasdaq may grant the company (subject to its compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement) an additional 180-day extension to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, during which time Qurate would continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “New Compliance Period”). Qurate Retail has also confirmed to Nasdaq that it will effect a reverse stock split if necessary to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement prior to the expiration of the New Compliance Period. If at any time before the expiration of the New Compliance Period, if granted by Nasdaq, the bid price of QRTEA is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that Qurate Retail will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other applicable Nasdaq listing criteria, generally or for purposes of qualifying for an additional 180-day compliance period, or that Qurate Retail will be able to successfully implement a reverse stock split if it decides to pursue one.

The Company does not intend to reapply for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market in the near term. About Qurate Retail, Inc.

Miller puts up 24, SMU downs Longwood 98-82'We are on it': US official seeks to allay drone sighting concernssaid he is still "far away" from resolving his future at after scoring once and creating two more goals in a at West Ham that moved Arne Slot's team eight points clear at the top of the . Salah, 32, can open negotiations with non-English clubs from this Wednesday (Jan 1) about a free agent transfer at the end of the season with his existing contract due to expire on June 30. Liverpool teammates and also enter the final six months of their Anfield contracts this week. But despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding his contract beyond next summer, Salah said his focus is on winning the title with Liverpool and that he is no closer to agreeing a new deal. "No we are far away from that [contract] and I don't want to put anything in the media," Salah told Sky Sports. "The only thing on my mind is I want Liverpool to win the league and I want to be part of that. "I will do my best for the team to win the trophy. There is a few other teams catching up with us and we need to stay focused and humble and go again. "I am just trying to enjoy the game. At the end of the day I came here for the result and I wanted to do something in the game, but I am almost hungry for more." Liverpool manager Arne Slot said he is unconcerned about the three senior players being able to talk to overseas clubs from Jan 1, saying that he believes he still has come control over their destiny. "I think I have a lot of control over what they do," Slot said. "If they're on a training pitch, if they're in a meeting with me, but talking about the private lives, I don't have control about them. "So that was the situation I have a year ago. There's been a situation as long as I'm a manager, but I have control to a certain extent over them from what I expect from them on the pitch and I'm really pleased to see what Virgil brings, what Trent brings and what Mo brings. "Now the positive thing for me is that for four or five months it was only Trent Mo and Virgil, what you guys were talking about. "And I assume, and don't let me down please, that people now are going to talk about how many players we are going to bring in the upcoming month and which other player is going to leave. So I get some other questions as well. Not only about these!" When asked if Liverpool had any plans for January, however, Slot said he is happy with the squad at his disposal. "I said this six months ago and everybody goes, "Is this guy crazy?" Slot said. "But I think the players showed that the confidence the club and me as well had in them was well deserved." Slot, meanwhile, described Salah as extraordinary after the 32-year-old registered his 17th leaguer goal and 13th assist in the win at West Ham. "The word extraordinary is something I've heard a lot in the last six months and he truly deserves this and probably in the last eight years too," Slot said. "But I'm involved in the last half years, so yeah, I don't think he keeps surprising us. "We know what a player he is and we know he's able to do so, but apart from that, he works really hard for the team also when the other team has the ball and yeah, we can only hope that he can keep bringing these performances in. "But I would like to add that if he scores, there's also a lead up to him scoring. So there are also other players that bring him in these positions, but if you bring Mo in these positions, he's extraordinary. Definitely."

The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator' make gravity-defying theater debuts NEW YORK (AP) — “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” have debuted in theaters with a combined $270 million in ticket sales. Their worldwide performance breathed fresh life into global box office results that have struggled lately. Together the films turned the moviegoing weekend into one of the busiest of the year. Jon M. Chu’s lavish big-budget musical “Wicked,” starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, debuted with $114 million domestically and $164.2 million globally. Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II” is a sequel to his 2000 best picture-winning original and launched with $55.5 million in ticket sales. “Moana 2” is being released Wednesday, so it looks like Hollywood might be looking at historic sales over the Thanksgiving holiday. Trump's Republican Party is increasingly winning union voters. It's a shift seen in his labor pick WASHINGTON (AP) — Working-class voters helped Republicans make steady election gains this year and expanded a coalition that increasingly includes rank-and-file union members. It's a political shift spotlighting one of President-elect Donald Trump’s latest Cabinet picks: a GOP congresswoman, who has drawn labor support, to be his labor secretary. Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer narrowly lost her bid for a second term this month, despite strong backing from union members. They're a key part of the Democratic base but are gravitating in the Trump era toward a Republican Party traditionally allied with business interests. Trump raced to pick many Cabinet posts. He took more time to settle on a treasury secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump launched a blitz of picks for his Cabinet, but he took his time settling on billionaire investor Scott Bessent as his choice for treasury secretary. The Republican not only wanted someone who jibes with him, but an official who can execute his economic vision and look straight out of central casting while doing so. With his Yale University education and pedigree trading for Soros Fund Management before establishing his own funds, Bessent will be tasked with a delicate balancing act. Trump expects him to help reset the global trade order, enable trillions of dollars in tax cuts, ensure inflation stays in check, manage a ballooning national debt and still keep the financial markets confident. Trump chooses Bessent to be treasury secretary, Vought as budget chief, Chavez-DeRemer for Labor WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has chosen hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, an advocate for deficit reduction, to serve as his next treasury secretary. Bessent, 62, is founder of hedge fund Key Square Capital Management. He previously had worked on and off for Soros Fund Management since 1991. Trump also said he would nominate Russell Vought, 48, to lead the Office of Management and Budget, a position he held during Trump's first term. And Trump chose Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, an Oregon Republican, as his labor secretary, and Scott Turner, a former football player who worked in Trump’s first administration, as his housing secretary. Afraid of losing the US-Canada trade pact, Mexico alters its laws and removes Chinese parts MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico has been taking a bashing for allegedly serving as a conduit for Chinese parts and products into North America. Officials here are terrified that a re-elected Donald Trump or politically struggling Justin Trudeau could simply expel their country from the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement. Mexico's ruling Morena party is so afraid its has gone on a campaign to get companies to replace Chinese parts with locally made ones. And its legislators are consciously tweaking the wording of major laws to try to make them compatible with the trade pact's language. Mexico hopes the rules of the trade pact would prevent the U.S. or Canada from simply walking away. Australia withdraws a misinformation bill after critics compare it to censorship CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s government has withdrawn a bill that would give a media watchdog power to monitor digital platforms and require them to keep records about misinformation and disinformation on their networks. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said Sunday that the government was unable to drum up the support needed to pass the legislation. The opposition spokesman, David Coleman, said the bill “betrayed our democracy” and amounted to “censorship laws in Australia.” The bill would have granted the Australian Communications and Media Authority power over digital platforms by approving an enforceable code of conduct or standards for social media companies if self-regulation fell short. He'll be the last meatpacker in the Meatpacking District. Here's how NYC's gritty 'hood got chic NEW YORK (AP) — The last meatpackers in New York's Meatpacking District have agreed to end their leases early and make way for development on their city-owned lot. A third-generation meatpacker says he is ready to retire and he'll be proud to be there when the building closes. The closure date has not been set, but will mark the end of over a century of industrial life in the Meatpacking District. Starting in the 1970s, a new nightlife scene emerged as bars and nightclubs moved in. Today it's a hub for shopping, tourism, and recreation and only echoes of that grit remain. US budget airlines are struggling. Will pursuing premium passengers solve their problems? DALLAS (AP) — Delta and United Airlines have become the most profitable U.S. airlines by targeting premium customers while also winning a significant share of budget travelers. That is squeezing smaller low-fare carriers like Spirit Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday. Some travel industry experts think Spirit’s troubles indicate less-wealthy passengers will have fewer choices and higher prices. Other discount airlines are on better financial footing but also are lagging far behind the full-service airlines when it comes to recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most industry experts think Frontier and other so-called ultra-low-cost carriers will fill the vacuum if Spirit shrinks, and that there's still plenty of competition to prevent prices from spiking. What to know about Scott Bessent, Trump's pick for treasury secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has chosen money manager Scott Bessent, an advocate for deficit reduction and deregulation, to serve as his next treasury secretary. Bessent is a past supporter of Democrats who has become an enthusiastic supporter of Trump. He’s an advocate of cutting spending while extending the tax cuts approved by Congress in Trump’s first term. He has said tariffs imposed during a second Trump administration would be directed primarily at China.Cars lined up at Fire Station #1 on Saturday to drop off toys and gifts in support of LIFE*SPIN. It was the annual London Emergency Services Lights & Sirens Toy Drive, where first responders collected items for families in need. “If you can believe, we’ve helped almost 1,500 families this Christmas season,” said Meagen Ciufo, LIFE*SPIN program coordinator. “We are always still in need of more toys so if people want to drop some off or reach out to us, the more toys, the merrier.” With Fire Fighter Santa greeting children, kids were given an opportunity to get up close to emergency service vehicles. Fire Fighter Santa bumps fists with a child at the annual London Emergency Services Lights & Sirens Toy Drive on Saturday Nov. 30, 2024 (Brent Lale/CTV News London) “It’s truly heartwarming to see our community come together, especially as we get to engage with families, let the kids experience the magic of emergency vehicles, and take a photo with Santa,” said Ciufo. “Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.” In partnership with LIFE*SPIN, the London Professional Fire Fighters Association (LPFFA) helped collect the toys. “This has become one of our most, privileged events to be involved in,” said Randy Evans, secretary with the LPFFA. “We've been doing a toy drive in some sense for the last 20 years, but really, on a small scale. About 15 years ago, we partnered with all the other first responders and LIFE*SPIN and we’re not just sponsoring a handful of families. We're looking after 1,200 to 1,400 families.” Volunteer Aaron Counsell helps unload a box of toys from a car during the annual London Emergency Services Lights & Sirens Toy Drive on Saturday Nov. 30, 2024 (Brent Lale/CTV News London) Ciufo said they are in need of some more volunteers over the next three weeks to help with making Christmas memorable for London families. “We’re always in need of new drivers to deliver the gifts to families,” said Ciufo. “People can do it in pairs. We get the route all ready, and they would just email us if they're interested in helping us deliver the toys for sure. Over the next little while we'll be packing for families. I think we still have about 800 families we have to pack for, so it's like Christmas village at our place. It's just packed with toys.” Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News. We may earn a commission when you use our links to shop. Read about us.

Oliver Glasner declared Crystal Palace are on the right path after they finally broke their away duck with a 1-0 win at Ipswich. Jean-Philippe Mateta struck in the second half with the only real piece of quality in a nervy encounter between two struggling teams. It is now two wins and three draws from the last six matches for Glasner’s side, whose winter revival is gathering pace nicely following a sticky start to the campaign. “I feel very happy, we’re all very pleased with the result, it was not the best performance but the result was more important,” said the Eagles boss. “Most of the time we controlled the game and we scored an amazing goal, a fantastic finish from JP. “We had more chances to decide the game but we couldn’t, but I think the win was well deserved. “We didn’t give them any chances from open play and with a clean sheet you can always take the win. “It’s a big win. Now it’s not time to sit back and relax but to keep going. In four days we face Manchester City. We stay humble. There are still many things to improve but we are on the right path.” Ipswich looked the likelier to score as a low-key first half drew to a close and were denied by a point-blank save by Dean Henderson from Harry Clarke’s near-post header. Shortly after the interval Wes Burns got clear down the right and lifted an inviting cross towards Liam Delap, whose header was straight at Henderson. However, from out of nowhere Palace conjured up a lightning counter-attack to go ahead on the hour. Eberechi Eze led the charge before feeding Mateta, who surged forward with a couple of stepovers before brushing off the attention of Jacob Greaves and finishing superbly past Arijanet Muric. It was the French forward’s sixth goal of the season, and his first away from Selhurst Park. Back came Ipswich with Leif Davis fizzing in another cross for Delap, who somehow mistimed his jump and completely missed the ball from six yards. As time ticked down Greaves looped a header against the far post, with the rebound just eluding substitute Ali-Al Hamadi. “Frustrating night,” said Town boss Kieran McKenna. “It was a tight first half, we weren’t fantastic in terms of the flow of the game and didn’t create as many opportunities as we wanted. But having said that neither did our opponents. “In the second half we conceded a really poor goal and that proved decisive. We can do better than we did tonight.”Medexus Pharmaceuticals Inc.
