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. While a minority opts out, the thread with over 4,000 views reflects American pluralism and shared seasonal goodwill transcending faith.

City offices closed April 3 for Good Friday, listed on the 2026 schedule as 'Spring Holiday,' prompting conservatives to contrast a deleted, plain X post with Mayor John Whitmire's ornate Eid al-Fitr greeting from March.

Defenders noted 'Spring Holiday' as longstanding neutral phrasing to respect church-state separation, while Houston also posted Passover greetings; neither the mayor's office nor city has responded publicly.

The 2024 Ballon d'Or winner, who signed his current terms in 2022 running to 2027, saw City propose fresh terms around May, but negotiations paused over finances and length while he focuses on Spain's World Cup—where they drew their opener this month.

Fans divide between urging him to sign quickly like teammates Gvardiol and Doku, and demanding City meet his terms since they need him more, amid Real Madrid whispers that club insiders dismiss as external noise.
