OPEN POST: Holiday Displays At Historic Homes All Around America!

By AK

'Tis the season and if there's anything I love more than museums (especially historic house museums) it's Yuletide and all the decorations associated with it. So here's some scattered across the U.S. of A. (all pictures taken from the accredited websites). 

In Detroit, Michigan: The Edsel and Eleanor Ford House.



In Fresno, The Kearney Mansion: 

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, with its spectacular Hanukkah Menorah:


Also in NYC, The Merchant House Museum (the most perfectly preserved Greek-Revival townhouse in the country), decorated for the season. You can even attend readings of "A Christmas Carol."


A Christmas Carol 2025 - Christmas in New York 2025! And just because the backstory of this amazing old house is so fascinating, a little history about it.

In Connecticut: The Bush-Holley House.


In North Carolina: The Biltmore Estate.


In Duluth, Minnesota (the home State of Sir Nubs): Glensheen House.


There's a few historic homes near me that get all gussied up for the holidays, and I plan to visit them within the next month. Are there any near you?

Whether you celebrate (or even enjoy) the Holidays or not, happy Open Post, darlings!

OPEN POST: "Be Really Careful," is the Word from Arianna!

You guys, stop it! Just yesterday, Arianna Grande told us all to "be really careful" (and no doubt "mindful"), and stop talking about the obvious - that she and Cynthia Erivo are vanishing before our eyes, much like, eons ago, Calista Flockhart and Lara Flynn Boyle were turning into skeletor swizzle sticks. I know you remember.  Only now it's coming to us with a giant heap of "non-demi curious semi-binary" nonsense, which I suppose is the kEwL KiDs way to say, "We're really good friends but don't finger-bang." Or do they? Grande, according to an actual press release on the matter, recently revealed "why she and Erivo like to 'touch each other' so much, explaining that she likes to 'channel support' and 'energy' through her hands...." Honestly, I don't know if these two gals have an eating disorder or not - though if it looks like size double zero, it usually is - but I will definitely be happy whe...

Get strapped and gird your loins, hookers - it's Black Friday! Me? I'll be staying in and nursing my post-gluttonous turkey hangover, wishing all you brave, adventurous hors good luck. I'm curious, though - what's the best Black Friday deal you've ever gotten? And do you have a harrowing Black Friday story you'd like to share?

OPEN POST: Hosted by This Breakfast Bill at a Vegas Hotel

By

  Reddit user redditdanis shared a screenshot of their breakfast bill from a stay at the Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas. I can't decide what's worse: the $40 breakfast consisting of one (1) egg, the gratuity AND tip being added, or the nebulous $10 service charge. Now people don't go to Vegas to save money, we know this. But many people commented on the fact that Vegas used to offer cheap food as a means of attracting people to the strip so they'd gamble more. It seems the tides have turned and less people travel to the destination every year, so the ones who do are squeezed for every penny. Have you ever been to Vegas, Peckers? Would you go now if you could?
