My dad used to say: "The holidays are when we feel obligated to spend too much time, in too small a space, with people we don't really know… and spend money on things nobody needs."  That's because holiday magic has nothing to do with perfection and everything to do with expectation management. You have my permission to simplify. Let go of the holiday in your head and enjoy the one happening in front of you.

Sweden gave the world many amazing things, like  IKEA. ABBA, Vikings, and Volvo.  Now the Swedes are giving the world a lesson we can't ignore: Screens are rotting our children's minds.  And we need to slay the monster once and for all.

A 25,000-pound semi veering across the highway wasn't an isolated scare, it's part of a nationwide epidemic. Impaired driving kills 12,000 Americans a year, costs billions, and continues to be dismissed as a "mistake" instead of the lethal choice it is.Stop it NOW!  @MADDNational

Message to the political extremes: Sit down, shut up and stop the Nazi name calling . The far left needs to stop comparing conservatives to Nazi's and fascists. And the far right needs to cool its rhetoric, too. It's only been two months since the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk. It seemed, we agreed, to watch our words; stop inciting violence, stop the Nazi nonsense. This is not about free speech. It's about human decency. It's ab...

Disney once prided itself on being the "happiest place on Earth," but lately it's been trying to erase a few of its own storylines — the race-swapped princesses, the same-sex kisses, the "magical beings" that replaced the Seven Dwarfs. After years of billion-dollar losses, fan backlash, and box-office bombs, the studio is suddenly rethinking its "woke" era. In Title: Disney Made Fairy Tales Political and it Backfired Royally

A Florida teacher mocked a student as "Most Likely to Become a Dictator." In Baltimore, one threatened to "go all Nazi" on a Jewish teen. And in Louisiana, preschool teachers filmed 4-year-olds beating each other, laughing as they did it. These aren't isolated incidents. They're proof that when teachers turn toxic, kids pay the price.

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
