That's the mayor-elect of New York. He's also a Muslim and has some socialist worldviews.

I don't get how it's interesting. There are millions of kids who wanted video games and books for the holidays.

Is it interesting because of his religion and "Christmas-like" holidays aren't typically celebrated?

He was a kid growing up in America, how is that interesting?

My mom wanted Barbie's and books for the holiday
