Linda Kasten, a biostatician who lives and works in Cambridge, grew up in a community with only a small Jewish population, and can take some pleasure in the decorations and lights thrown up in the winter time. But she still takes issue with the use of the term “holidays,” because in many ways, it doesn’t acknowledge the fact that many of the most important holidays observed by Jews have passed by the time December rolls around. “You can say the Christmas season. That’s what it should be,” she says. “And many Jews would prefer people call things a ‘Christmas party’ instead of a ‘holiday party.’” Link in bio. 📸: @lilly_milman

There is currently no permanent health inspector for the city of Somerville. The Inspectional Services Department (ISD) has been advertising to fill two Senior Code Enforcement Officer positions since Oct. 15, according to the city’s Deputy Director of Communications, Jaclyn Rossetti. The role of the aforementioned officers is primarily to perform food-related inspections. Link in bio. 📸: Eric Kilby, Flickr Creative Commons

Gift cards have earned a reputation as being a lazy gift giver’s best friend, but it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s all about where you’re buying from—gift cards actually open up a world of experiences, if you’re willing to just do a little digging. While anyone can enjoy a prepaid Visa or Starbucks gift card, they lack the personal flair that marks a good gift. That’s why we’ve come up with a list of thoughtful and inventive gift card ideas that show you care, while still saving you hours of shopping at the mall. Link in bio. 📸: @cambridgecenter

Only 4 percent of Boston’s adults are Jewish, according to data from Pew Research Center. It’s no surprise that Jewish students may feel alienated by the city’s strong Christmas spirit. At Tufts University, they’re searching for a place to connect to themselves, to their religious identities, and to each other. For over five years, Rabbi Jordan Braunig has been working to help more Jewish students at Tufts University feel at home. His Initiative for Innovative Community Building within Tufts Hillel, Tufts’ Jewish student organization, brings together a group of 20 student fellows each year to build an intentional Jewish community.

Let’s face it: There’s something to be said for staying in when the snow starts piling up and the air takes on a deep-freeze quality. You can be warm and snug, and also do things that you enjoy. The trick is, you don’t have to stay in at home. Full story link in bio. 📸: @nibble.kitchen

At some point, people started referring to the nebulous stretch of time between the end of November and early January as “the holidays.” Dwelling in the spacious interior of that period is a number of celebrations that get top billing in the United States: Thanksgiving, New Year’s Eve, and the king of them all: Christmas. These months are marked by festive lights, hokey television specials, and inflatable representations of characters and iconography associated with the season. But for plenty of people in Cambridge and Somerville, the period between late November and early December doesn’t bear any special meaning. For them, Dec. 25 is Dec. 25 and nothing more.

What brings together hip-hop, painted doors, film screenings, and fry bread? Cambridge’s celebration of Indigenous People’s Day. The city encouraged residents to come out to honor indigenous histories in a month-long celebration of Indigenous People’s Day, beginning Oct. 14. Since 2016, the second Monday in October has been celebrated not as Columbus Day, but as Indigenous People’s Day, in Cambridge. Nationally, November is Indigenous Heritage Month.

Many of the works currently on display in the “Revolución Chicha” exhibit at the Lesley University Lunder Arts Center were brought to the United States in curator Andrew Mroczek’s luggage, rolled up, when he was leaving Peru for the twelfth time in six years. Chicha art is known for its vibrancy, evident in the day-glow color gradients that closely resemble graffiti. The work tends to be critical of how indigenous peoples are treated in Peru, and the visual effect is paradoxical. It attempts to celebrate and preserve the beauty of the Andean influence on Peru, without sugarcoating the cultural trauma experienced at the hands of the country. Learn more online.

The cumulative number of city complaints about airplane noise collected by MassPort has skyrocketed from 71 by August 2012 to 12,927 through August 2019. The impact of transportation-related noise pollution isn’t new to Somerville. Three grassroots organizations formed nearly 20 years ago to address MBTA construction and traffic, and community efforts to balance land usage, transportation, public health, and traffic pollution have persisted. More recently in the last six years, though, changes to flight paths from one of Logan International Airport’s six runways have sparked increased community uproar for the consequently changing noise impacts experienced by different and larger communities.
