Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations. Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks.

Leeds, who nearly signed him last summer before a deadline-day collapse, are now pushing hard with talks described as an aggressive approach, offering a long-term deal, pay rise, and signing bonus; he'd fit perfectly as a left-footed No. 10 or right winger alongside Welsh teammates like Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon.
