1. I have no doubt that the First Lady

can't wait to get out of there. President Obama knows what a colossal failure Trump is going to be, but I'm sure Michelle just wants her own life.

2. This one was hilarious but so poignant

Listened on the radio this morning and wanted to cry. They are going to be so missed. Ironically I had a local music station on that plays Christmas music this time of year and the Josh Groban song "Believe" was playing as I watched the video you posted but then also had the Norad Santa Tracker going (testing for when one of my young nieces comes over later) and it has been flying all over Russia (previously all over the South Pacific).



Hope you and yours have a wonderful and loving holiday!

7. And for anyone with a short memory or a willfully false narrative,

the Obamas have been wishing us a Merry Christmas all along, starting with their first Christmas on the White House on 2009:
