We trade the beige Christmas for rich color and nostalgia, then challenge the quiet creep of rounding as the penny exits. From Target’s 10-4 smiles to a shaky red carpet security moment, viral resumes, robot pratfalls, and an MLB betting scandal, we weigh comfort against trust.

• colorful, traditional holiday decor replacing minimalist beige
• blending Christmas and Hanukkah with cozy, nostalgic touches
• the penny’s production cost and rounding concerns
• Target’s 10-4 policy, service warmth versus shopper overload
• Ariana Grande security scare and response by Cynthia Erivo
• virality ethics after a resume goes public and leads to a job
• robot demo fails and our uneasy path to automation
• MLB gambling scandal, integrity of sport, and consequences
• upcoming live show in Fallbrook and travel plans
