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.

A February 19 post claimed the couple is expecting their first child together, drawing over 21,000 likes, memes about their ages—Perry at 41, Trudeau at 53—and jokes from users like psychologist Gad Saad.

Their relationship went public late last year with snaps from Tokyo and holidays, and sources say it's grown more serious since Trudeau stepped down as prime minister in 2025. Both have kids from prior marriages—Perry's daughter Daisy, 5, and Trudeau's three children—and they've stayed quiet amid the buzz.
