ORNAMENTS

We know it is that time of the year to deck the halls, and that may or may not mean putting up a Christmas tree. Either way, ornaments can play a big part in your holiday décor, but they do not just have to be for the tree.

The Ann Arbor Art Center is offering a wide variety of art classes this winter.

It’s the final Christmas in the White House for the Trump family, although the president continues to insist — despite evidence to the contrary — that he won the Nov. 3 election. The recording of the July 2018 conversation was made and released to CNN by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who was fired from the White House earlier that year. A few miles north of the White House, the wrapping also came off the Christmas decorations at Vice President Mike Pence's official residence on the grounds of the Naval Observatory.
