#PACIFICWATCH: #AT THE FIRE-SHADOWED BUT FESTIVE OSCARS IN WEST HOLLYWOOD.   @JCBLISS 1945 LANA TURNER IN VEGAS

Festive households rush to put up their Christmas trees weeks before the holiday — but don't seem to know when to take them down. And the answer to that can vary depending on the type of Tannenbaum you have — or what traditions you follow.In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Tuesday, New York Attorney General Letitia James told hospitals that they would be violating state law if they stop offering gender-affirming care for people under age 19 in response to an executive order from President Trump aimed at curtailing federal funding for such treatments.New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy revealed he is housing an immigrant at his home and dared the Trump administration to do something about it. And in Washington, President Trump agreed to a 30-day pause on his tariff threats against Mexico and Canada as America's two largest trading partners took steps to appease his concerns about border security and drug trafficking.

Purim comes first, let's celebrate. We have all the time in the world."He: מרים גירדה בראשה, "אנחנו חייבים להתארגן.En: Miriam scratched her head, "We must get organized.He: אם נתחיל עכשיו, לא נהיה בלחץ.En: If we start now, we won't be under pressure.He: את הגלידה אפשר לאכול אחרי שנגמור לנקות," אמרה בתקיפות.En: We can eat the ice cream after we finish cleaning," she said firmly.He: רבקה, האחות הצעירה, ישבה על הספה והביטה בהם בעיניים גדולות.En: Rebecca, the younger sister, sat on the couch watching them with big eyes.He: "אני חושבת שצריך למצוא פשרה.En: "I think a compromise should be found.He: לא חייבים הכל עכשיו," היא ניסתה להרגיע אותם.En: We don't have to do everything now," she tried to calm them.He: אלי המשיך, "מה דעתך, מרים?En: Eli continued, "What do you think, Miriam?He: נשאיר את הניקיון לאחרי פורים?En: Let's leave the cleaning for after Purim?He: נוכל לנסות עכשיו את התחפושות, לשמח את כולם!"En: We can try on the costumes now to make everyone happy!"He: מרים הביטה באלי בזעף, אך ברגע זה קרץ לה איזה רעיון.En: Miriam looked at Eli with a frown, but at that moment an idea winked at her.He: "בסדר, אתה יכול לנסות את התחפושת כאן.En: "Alright, you can try on the costume here.He: אבל," היא חייכה בממזריות, "אחר כך נעשה רשימת משימות ונתחיל לנקות."En: But," she smiled mischievously, "afterwards we'll make a task list and start cleaning."He: החדר התמלא בצחוק כשהם התחילו לבדוק את התחפושות.En: The room filled with laughter as they began to check out the costumes.He: אלי לבש את בגד הפורים שלו, ונצנצים החלו להתפזר בכל רחבי החדר.En: Eli wore his Purim outfit, and glitter started to spread all over the room.He: מרים לא יכלה שלא לצחוק למראה הנוצץ שנשאר אחריו.En: Miriam couldn't help but laugh at the sparkling trail he left behind.He: "וואו, את צודקת, מרים.En: "Wow, you're right, Miriam.He: אני אעזור לנקות.En: I'll help clean.He: רק אחרי שנקבל מקום ראשון בפורים," אמר אלי בחיוך.En: Just after we win first place at Purim," said Eli with a grin.He: בסוף, הם התיישבו ליד השולחן.En: In the end, they sat down at the table.He: מרים פרשה דף עם תוכנית ניקיון, הפעם עם קצת פחות דחיפות והרבה יותר הבנה.En: Miriam laid out a sheet with the cleaning plan, this time with a little less urgency and a lot more understanding.He: הם הסכימו לשלב בין חגיגה וניקיון, תוך שמירה על השלווה המשפחתית.En: They agreed to combine celebration and cleaning, while maintaining family tranquility.He: כך הם התמודדו עם הכאוס, ולמדו שהחשיבות האמיתית היא המשפחה והזמן ביחד.En: Thus, they dealt with the chaos and learned that the true importance is family and time together.He: וגם, שמי שנצנץ הוא לא תמיד מי שניקיון בראש מעייניו.En: And also, that the one who sparkled is not always the one who has cleaning at the forefront of their mind.He: מרים חייכה לעצמה – לפעמים הכאוס הוא מה שעושה את החיים מיוחדים.En: Miriam smiled to herself – sometimes the chaos is what makes life special.

Festive Reflections: Weaving Together Joy and Tradition in Troubled Times The holiday season often wraps us in a quilt of contrasting emotions, which I know all too well. My own festive recollections are tinged with shades of past hardships; yet, they've led me to appreciate the nuanced beauty of this time of year. Join me as we traverse the landscape of traditions and the search for meaning amidst the twinkling lights and chill in the air. In a year like 2020, when the world turned inward, we find ourselves grappling with our perceptions of celebration and reflection. Together, we'll uncover the treasures hidden in life's simple moments and how they can illuminate even the darkest of winters. Then, let's warm our hearts with stories of kindness that echo through the frosty air, like the one about a family whose Christmas was reborn through an act of unexpected generosity. No guests are needed when the narrative is rich with personal tales of compassion, from sending holiday greetings to soldiers healing from wounds of war to honoring those who've served with solemn wreaths. It's a discussion that goes beyond the festive façade, urging us to craft our own meaningful traditions and kindle the flame of togetherness. So wrap up in your favorite blanket, sip some hot cocoa, and let's revel in the joy of creating special memories that resonate with the spirit of the season.

A not so Merry Christmas after all... Matt Davies-Adams is back for the first time in 2025 and joined by The Athletic's Chelsea experts Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson to look back on the damaging back-to-back festive defeats at the hands of Fulham and Ipswich. We've got reports from the final whistle at both, before we reflect on the disappointment and question where this leaves their hopes of a top four finish, weaknesses within the squad and the pressure it puts on Enzo Maresca to find solutions. Then, our old friend Dom Fifield stops by to help us look ahead to Saturday's trip to a resurgent Crystal Palace. We'll be back on Monday to reflect on the visit to Selhurst and bring you up to speed with anything else that's happened in the wonderful world of Chelsea.

Ever feel like you're your own worst enemy when it comes to reaching a goal? Today, we sit down with Thais Gibson from the Personal Development School to explore how self-sabotage sneaks into our lives and—more importantly—how to kick it out for good. While you've maybe heard Thais on Mel Robbins or other shows, what you haven't heard is what we talk about today - how specifically she walks Joe through limiting beliefs and then outlines how it's done. Whether you've followed Thais' huge social media presence consistently or it's your first time with her, we know this will help you kick self-sabotage to the curb and get to work. From aligning your conscious and subconscious goals to overcoming limiting beliefs, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to help you get out of your own way. But that's not all. We also dive into a financial hot topic: influencer-backed crypto scams. Learn how a viral coin duped investors last week and why speculation isn't the same as smart investing. Of course, it wouldn't be a Stacking Benjamins episode without some holiday flair. Joe, OG, and Doug share festive mall memories, debate the best holiday tunes, and throw in some trivia to keep things lively. Why You'll Love This Episode: Practical tips to recognize and overcome self-sabotage. Eye-opening lessons on speculative investments and influencer-driven hype. A nostalgic take on holiday mall culture. Remember that? Episode Highlights: Kicking off with holiday concerns and a satirical take on seasonal trends. Festive mall memories: shopping chaos, holiday tunes, and the art of people-watching. Thais Gibson's insights on aligning conscious and subconscious goals to beat self-sabotage. Turning resistance into opportunities and tackling the emotional costs of inaction. Practical steps to rewire limiting beliefs and visualize success. Lessons from a viral influencer's crypto scam and the dangers of speculative investing. Speculation vs. investing: Why it matters and how to avoid costly mistakes. Holiday trivia fun and laughs with the Basement crew. What You'll Take Away: Whether you're looking to improve your mindset, steer clear of financial pitfalls, or just enjoy some holiday tunes, this episode offers a little something for everyone. Walk away with tools to set yourself up for success—mentally, financially, and maybe even musically (if Doug's favorite holiday tune is your jam). Keep the Conversation Going: Have a story of self-sabotage you've overcome or a holiday memory to share? Join us in the Basement Facebook group to swap tips, laughs, and maybe a little holiday cheer. FULL SHOW NOTES: https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/stop-self-sabotaging-thais-gibson-1616 Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201 Enjoy!
