This is a black-and-white photograph that appears to be from the early 20th century, judging by the clothing styles and photographic quality. The image depicts a group of people seated and standing in an outdoor setting, possibly at a public event or gathering. The individuals are dressed in formal attire, with women wearing hats and coats, and men in suits and ties. The women are seated on wooden benches, while some men stand nearby. In the foreground, a person wearing a hat and coat is standing, facing the seated individuals. Behind the seated group, there is a wooden fence or barrier. The text at the top of the image reads "MRS. W.K. VANDERBILT JR. MRS. A. S. BURDEN," indicating the names of the individuals being photographed. The background shows trees and a clear sky, suggesting the event is taking place in a park or similar open area. The overall atmosphere seems formal and organized.

The image appears to be a historical photograph, likely from the early 20th century, judging by the clothing and photographic style. It features three women in the foreground, dressed in formal attire typical of the era. The woman on the left is wearing a light-colored coat with a decorative flower on her hat, and she is holding a small object, possibly a card or a piece of paper. The woman in the center is wearing a dark coat with a fur collar and a patterned hat, and she seems to be looking at the object in the hands of the woman on the left. The woman on the right is wearing a light-colored coat and a hat and is also looking at the object. 

In the background, there are other individuals, some of whom are wearing hats and coats, suggesting a public or social event. The photograph has a caption at the top that reads "MRS. A. SCOTT T. BURDEN," which likely identifies the woman in the center as Mrs. A. Scott T. Burden. The photograph has a black border and a stamp or signature in the bottom left corner that reads "C. C. BAIN," indicating the photographer or the studio that produced the image. The overall tone of the photograph is formal and appears to capture a moment of interaction or exchange between the women.

I don't need any Christmas gifts! I have too much stuff! I'm drowning!

The greatest gift I could get would be a holiday where family and friends come to your home and each unburdens you of one item that's just gathering dust. Just take it away from me! Donate it to charity without me having to make the decision. What a load off my shoulders!

I think this is what we all need.

An antichristmas, if you will.

A quotation from Hannah Arendt

What stuck in the minds of these men who had become murderers was simply the notion of being involved in something historic, grandiose, unique (“a great task that occurs once in two thousand years”), which must therefore be difficult to bear. This was important, because the murderers were not sadists or killers by nature; on the contrary, a systematic effort was made to weed out all those who derived physical pleasure from what they did. The troops of the Einsatzgruppen had been drafted from the Armed S.S., a military unit with hardly more crimes in its record than any ordinary unit of the German Army, and their commanders had been chosen by Heydrich from the S.S. élite with academic degrees. Hence the problem was how to overcome not so much their conscience as the animal pity by which all normal men are affected in the presence of physical suffering. The trick used by Himmler — who apparently was rather strongly afflicted by these instinctive reactions himself — was very simple and probably very effective; it consisted in turning these instincts around, as it were, in directing them toward the self. So that instead of saying: What horrible things I did to people!, the murderers would be able to say: What horrible things I had to watch in the pursuance of my duties, how heavily the task weighed upon my shoulders!

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, ch. 6 (1963)
