It is unfortunate that during the holiday season, dinner tables and happy gatherings of family and friends are transformed into miniature war zones of politics. Far-flung relatives challenge everyone’s political views, and supposedly “rebellious” kids disagree vehemently with their parents. What about Donald Trump, Zohran Mamdani, illegal immigration and healthcare? These topics become common in a sadly hostile, uncomfortable way during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. Families are torn apart, and friendships are ended based on the political winds of the day. Familial estrangement has become commonplace and is increasingly driven by political differences.

It’s that time again when television networks air festive favorites, and “A Christmas Story” is perpetually playing. But what about non-traditional holiday films that break conventional seasonal molds? This season, I’ll examine what I argue is a holiday classic: “Gremlins,” written by Chris Columbus (“Home Alone”), produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Joe Dante.

Notre Dame women’s basketball will travel to Oxford, Mississippi where they will face No. 13 Ole Miss in the ACC/SEC Challenge on Dec. 4. The Irish are currently 5-1 on the season, placing them second in the ACC and 18th in the nation for NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball. Notre Dame has pulled off impressive feats against Fairleigh Dickinson University, Akron, USC, Central Michigan and a 58-point victory over Chicago State. Although the Irish fell short to Michigan earlier in their season at the 2025 Shamrock Classic, they’re looking to continue their two-game win streak.

Notre Dame got off to a blistering start Saturday night in Palo Alto, as rival Stanford saw its season finale slip away before it was ever really within reach. The Irish started on a 28-point run that included some special teams trickery along with the defensive dominance that has become a hallmark over the back half of the season. But, in a game that saw junior defensive lineman Josh Burnham throw as many touchdown passes as freshman quarterback CJ Carr, the Irish found themselves on their heels for the second 30 minutes. In a surprising turn of events, Stanford outscored Notre Dame 17-14 in the second half.

As students rush to complete final essays and exams by the end of the semester, they are also rushing to use their remaining meal swipes. With a fixed number every semester and no option for swipes to roll over, unused swipes expire without benefit.

If you have paid attention to the opinion section of The Observer recently, you may have noticed an overwhelming number of political commentaries being produced weekly. Trump, ICE and polarization are the subjects of countless articles — oftentimes regurgitating similar arguments from politicized mainstream media. I don’t mind this work; the point of writing in a public domain in this manner is to express ideas important to you. I read these articles, sometimes enjoy them and move on with my day. I assume the same for most of those who pick up student papers.

In Notre Dame’s first series against the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday night, junior running back Jeremiyah Love looked the part of a Heisman Trophy winner. The Irish’s greatest showman put on a spectacle, racking up 54 yards and ending the drive with a touchdown. The score moved Love past Pro Football Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis for the all-time single-season touchdown record at Notre Dame.

We are back from Thanksgiving break, and soon we will be away again for Christmas break. Traveling back and forth from Notre Dame to home gives us occasion to reflect on our life at Notre Dame. A (hopefully) loving and simple home can teach us how to bring the same love and simplicity into a campus environment that can be ambitious and chaotic.

We’re entering an era where environmental instability is no longer theoretical. It’s visible in rising temperatures, extreme weather and accelerating ecological loss. Shared threats should bring societies together. Instead, polarization widens, distrust grows and political identities harden in the face of climate change.

“We don’t hate women; we hate the victimhood cult that tells women they’re perpetual oppressed victims who need abortion and government handouts to succeed.”

On Nov. 19, I read The Observer column “An era of consensus,” written by Sam Marchand. I frankly found myself baffled by the reasoning by which Marchand asserts that the United States has reached consensus on Trump policy. I would like to discuss that here.

The Notre Dame men’s basketball team traveled to Las Vegas last week to participate in the Players Era Festival, which had a field of loaded talent. The tournament was created in 2024, and in its second year, the festival had 18 quality teams playing across three days. Notre Dame went 1-2 in their three games, but all were hard fought as the Irish showed they can compete with some of the best teams in the country.

Notre Dame put a bow on its regular season Saturday, posting its last statement for a bid in the College Football Playoff. With the Irish currently ranked No. 9 by the CFP Committee, the questions remain: Will the Irish hold their place through conference championship week, and do they deserve a spot at all?
