New York Times | In Southern #Lebanon , Trauma and Grief Mark a Somber Christmas. There were no parties this year for the children, no music recitals and no #Christmas tree in the city square. Much of the city is gone. Flattened apartment buildings. Mangled cars. Blown-out and abandoned mom-and-pop stores. After months of Israeli airstrikes, the holiday season began not with celebration, but with funerals as church members tended to their dead.
