Jewish Family Service managed to find the coat’s donor, and the 78-yearold widow said her husband must have stuck the cash in the pocket before he died in January.

HIRSHHORN MUSEUM AND SCULPTURE GARDEN

Door is closing on hopes for a white Christmas

A rendering of the soon-toopen Dolcezza coffee bar in the redesigned Hirshhorn lobby.

Global meets local Dolcezza and Hirshhorn partner in a Japaneseinspired lobby redesign CULTURE Art lovers and tourists will be able to enjoy gelato and coffee from D.C. favorite Dolcezza Gelato in the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden’s redesigned contemporary lobby starting in February.

The local coffee and gelato chain will be a permanent fixture in the Hirshhorn as part of a redesign of the museum’s lobby conceived by Japanese artist and architect Hiroshi Sugimoto. Dolcezza will be the first local cafe to be featured in a Smithsonian

museum. Sugimoto’s redesign is the first since the museum opened in 1974.

Dolcezza founder Robb Duncan says working closely with Sugimoto to design the cafe was a “dream come true.” All of the pieces used in the space, from the coffee bar to the chairs, were designed by the artist. Sugimoto took inspiration for the redesign from 700-year-old Japanese nutmeg trees, even fashioning communal tables from the tree stumps.

“Hiroshi builds stuff that probably shouldn’t be built,” Duncan says of the creativity that Sugimoto employs with materials.

Duncan says he’s excited for the coffee shop to intersect with

Big dreams for a D.C. life in a tiny home

Sugimoto’s vision and the art community at the Hirshhorn.

“I could never have written it, if I was writing the script in my life, to do a coffee shop like this,” he says.

On the horizon, Duncan has some ideas to incorporate Dolcezza into the Hirshhorn’s afterhours artist events, and may bring back Dolcezza’s shipping container cafe that served customers in the sculpture garden during the “Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors” exhibit earlier this year.

The new lobby and cafe will open Feb. 12, serving seasonal gelato, specialty espresso drinks, pastries and cocktails.

A D.C. man is in search of a new rental, but it’s not a studio apartment or a room in a group house. Tri Trinh, an entrepreneur and self-described “practicing minimalist,” is on the hunt for a plot of land in a D.C. backyard to park his custom tiny home (above). He posted his pitch on Craigslist and Facebook and passed out flyers door-to-door in his search for the perfect spot, which he hopes to move to in January. Is this legal?

Trinh calls it a “gray area,” but he’s hoping to find a spot “somewhere where I can bike everywhere.”

Close race for control of Va. House now tied

Panel reinstates a ballot after Dems appeared to take seat by 1 vote JUIA RENDLEMAN (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

VIRGINIA A court has declared a tie in a Virginia legislative election that one day earlier appeared to have gone to a Democrat by a single vote, the latest dramatic twist in a contest likely to decide control of the state House.

A three-judge panel certified the 94th District in Newport News as tied at 11,608 to 11,608 votes on Wednesday, a day after a recount appeared to give Democrat Shelly Simonds the victory over Del. David Yancey.

By state law, the winner of the tie will be determined “by lot.” It was not immediately clear how or when that will take place.

Yancey successfully challenged an uncounted ballot that he said should have been included in his total.

His attorneys said the campaign believes one ballot meant for him was not counted. They cited concerns raised by a GOP election official who participated in the recount.

The official, Kenneth Mallory, wrote that the ballot had both candidates’ names bubbled in for the 94th District race. He said the voter had chosen Republican candidates in every other race.

“Simonds’ bubble had an

slimmest vote difference and the biggest chance of flipping.

Last week, Republican Del. Tim Hugo held on to his seat in Fairfax County after a recount had little impact on his 100-plus vote lead.

Two more recounts were set for Wednesday and today. The Democratic challenger leads by 336 votes in the 68th House District in and around Richmond, where ballot counting began Wednesday.

Ballots will be recounted today in the Fredericksburg area’s 28th District. The Republican there leads by 82 votes. But Democrats already have asked a judge to call for a new election after at least 147 ballots were found to have been assigned to the wrong districts.

A federal appeals court on Wednesday denied a request from the Archdiocese of Washington to temporarily block a lower court ruling that has kept its Christmas ads off the sides of Metro buses this holiday season.

Three judges for the U.S. Court of Appeals for D.C. made a preliminary determination that Metro officials were well within their rights to prohibit the archdiocese’s proposed posters in accordance with the transit agency’s ban on ads that “promote … any religion, religious practice or belief.” The advertisements in question featured an image of three people walking with sheep and holding shepherd’s staffs — presumed to depict a scene from the biblical story of Christmas.

additional slash mark through it,” the letter said.

Simonds, a school board member, had initially appeared to lose November’s election by 10 votes.

The outcome likely will decide partisan control of the House of Delegates. If Yancey wins, Republicans will hold on to power by one seat, 51-49. If Simonds wins, a rare power-sharing agreement would have to be brokered between Democrats and Republicans.

Democrats rode a tidal wave powered by unhappiness with GOP President Donald Trump in last month’s elections to erase Republicans’ 66-34 advantage.

Tuesday’s recount was one of four scheduled for House races with extremely tight margins.

Thousands died in battle to take Mosul from ISIS

CANCUN, MEXICO

Eight Americans killed, 4 hurt in tour bus crash

Probe finds civilian toll is much higher than official coalition figures

Longest-frozen embryo born after 24 years

BRAM JANSSEN (AP)

MOSUL, IRAQ The price Mosul’s residents paid in blood to see their city freed was 9,000 to 11,000 dead, a civilian casualty rate nearly 10 times higher than what has been previously reported. The number killed in the nine-month battle to liberate the city from the Islamic State has not been acknowledged by the U.S.-led coalition, the Iraqi government or the caliphate.

But Mosul’s gravediggers, morgue workers and volunteers who retrieve bodies from the city’s rubble are keeping count.

Iraqi or coalition forces are responsible for at least 3,200 civilian deaths from airstrikes, artillery fire or mortar rounds between October 2016 and the fall of ISIS in July 2017, according to an Associated Press investigation that cross-referenced independent databases from non-governmental organizations.

Most of those victims are simply described as “crushed” in health ministry reports.

The coalition, which says it lacks the resources to send investigators into Mosul, acknowledges responsibility for only 326 of the deaths.

“It was the biggest assault on a city in a couple of generations, all told. And thousands died,” said Chris Woods, head of Airwars,

Mosul morgue workers report at least 9,600 dead in the fight against ISIS.

an organization that documents air and artillery strikes in Iraq and Syria. “There doesn’t seem to be any disagreement about that, except from the federal government and the coalition.”

In addition to the Airwars database, the AP analyzed information from Amnesty International, Iraq Body Count and a United Nations report. The AP also obtained from Mosul’s morgue a list of 9,606 people killed during the operation. Hundreds of dead civilians are believed to still be buried in the rubble.

Of the nearly 10,000 deaths the AP found, about one-third of the casualties died in bombardments by the U.S.-led coalition or Iraqi forces, the analysis found.

960K

Another third of the dead were killed in ISIS’ final frenzy of violence. It could not be determined which side was responsible for the deaths of the remainder, who were in neighborhoods battered by airstrikes, ISIS explosives and mortar rounds from all sides.

But the morgue total is higher than official tolls. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said 1,260 civilians were killed. The U.S.-led coalition has not offered an overall figure. The coalition relies on drone footage, video from cameras mounted on weapons and pilot observations. Its investigators have neither visited the morgue nor requested its data.

When Tina Gibson got married seven years ago, the 26-year-old knew it was unlikely that she would have children naturally.

Her husband, 33-year-old Benjamin Gibson, had a condition that can make men infertile, the couple told CNN. She decided on embryo adoption, and had three embryos from an anonymous donor transferred into her uterus in 2016. It was only when she was preparing for the transfer that a doctor said the embryos she had chosen could lead to a “world record.” On Nov. 25, Gibson gave birth to a girl, Emma Wren Gibson. It is thought to be the longestfrozen embryo to result in a live birth. The embryo was frozen Oct. 14, 1992, when Gibson was 18 months old, and was thawed on March 13, 2017, making it more than 24 years old. (TWP)

Ruling says company should be regulated as a transport service EUROPE Uber suffered a new blow Wednesday as the European Union’s top court ruled that it should be regulated as a transport company instead of a technology service, a decision that crimps its activities in Europe and could weigh on other appbased companies too.

Uber downplayed the decision, which might affect the company’s operations in only four countries, and said it still will try to keep expanding in Europe.

The decision by the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice in theory applies to ride-hailing services across the 28-nation EU. But the ruling leaves it to national governments to decide how and whether to change the way they regulate Uber and similar services.

Uber has gained a strong foothold and customer base in most European countries, adapting its multiple services to bend to local rules when faced with legal challenges. Its hallmark

low-cost service — connecting freelance drivers with riders via an app — is already banned in many European cities, and instead Uber’s services are much like taxis, just more flexible and sometimes cheaper.

The decision stems from a complaint by a Barcelona taxi drivers association. The taxi drivers said Uber drivers should have authorizations and licenses, and accused the company of engaging in unfair competition.

Arguing its case, San Francisco-based Uber said it should be regulated as an information services provider, because it is based on an app that connects drivers to riders. The court said in a statement that services provided by companies like Uber are “inherently linked to a transport service” and therefore must be classified as “a service in the field of transport” within EU law.

Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania are the only countries where the company still offers so-called “peer-topeer” services linking freelance drivers with riders, and the countries where Wednesday’s ruling might have a direct impact.

1931-2017 Cardinal Bernard Law, the disgraced former archbishop of Boston whose failure to stop child molesters in the priesthood triggered the worst crisis in American Catholicism, died Wednesday in Rome at 86.

Law spent the final years of his career leading an important basilica in Rome and continued to wield influence inside the Vatican. He had been sick and was recently hospitalized.

Law was once one of the most important figures in the U.S. church. From 1984 until he resigned under pressure 18 years later, he was the spiritual leader in Boston, the nation’s fourthlargest archdiocese.

But in 2002, The Boston Globe began a series of stories that revealed that Law and his predecessors had transferred child-molesting priests from parish to parish without alerting parents or police — a scandal later chronicled in the film “Spotlight.”

Within months, Catholics around the country demanded to know whether their bishops had done the same. And the scandal quickly spread overseas.

In Boston, some met Law’s death with bitterness.

“I hope the gates of hell are swinging wide to allow him entrance,” said Alexa MacPherson, who says she was abused for six years as a child. “I won’t shed a tear for him. I might shed a tear for everyone who’s been a victim under him.” RACHEL ZOLL AND NICOLE WINFIELD (AP)

GOP takes a victory lap Republicans celebrate passage of tax bill that has huge cuts for corporations, wealthy Praising the president Vice President Pence repeatedly praised President Trump during a Cabinet meeting Wednesday, and Republican lawmakers spoke glowingly about Trump during a ceremony outside the White House.

MANUEL BALCE CENETA (AP)

(AP/THE WASHINGTON POST/EXPRESS)

President Trump, who criticized Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell over his handling of the health care law, congratulated him Wednesday.

At the White House, Trump leads GOP lawmakers in cheering the tax bill.

factor in our plan,” the president said at the White House.

Within minutes, during House debate at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass., jumped on Trump’s remarks, calling them proof that Republicans were never interested in passing meaningful tax cuts for the middle class.

In an eleventh-hour hiccup Tuesday, the Senate parliamentarian found that three minor provisions violated Senate rules, forcing lawmakers to strip them out.

House Republicans had passed the bill Tuesday, with all voting Democrats in opposition. Because of the language the Senate removed, the House had to

revisit the measure Wednesday, because each chamber must approve identical legislation before it can be signed into law.

“People have been hit by the media and the Democrats on their TV screen that everyone is getting a big tax increase, and that’s just not the case,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Wednesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Starting next year, families making between $50,000 and $75,000 will get average tax cuts of $890, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. Families making between $100,000 and $200,000 would get average tax cuts of $2,260,

South Korea urges U.S. to delay military drills ahead of Olympics as olive branch to N. Korea

while families making more than $1 million would get average tax cuts of nearly $70,000, according to the analysis.

But if the cuts for individuals are allowed to expire, most Americans — those making less than $75,000 — would see tax increases in 2027, according to congressional estimates.

Ryan said the GOP is willing to risk running up deficits with the aim of getting a higher annual economic growth rate.

The bill is projected to add $1.46 trillion to the nation’s debt over a decade. GOP lawmakers say they expect a future Congress to continue the tax cuts so they won’t expire. That would drive up deficits even further. STEPHEN

POLITICS Congressional leaders moved toward another short-term spending stopgap Wednesday after talks aimed at passing more ambitious legislation appeared to collapse as a government shutdown deadline approached.

Republicans have pushed for increased military funding and disaster aid for hurricaneravaged communities in the South. Democrats, meanwhile, want a boost to domestic programs and find a solution for young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

But with a midnight Friday shutdown deadline looming and the coming holidays, GOP leaders in the House and Senate indicated that lawmakers were likely to do the bare minimum — passing another short-term spending bill to keep the government open and then revisiting everything in January.

One potential land mine was defused Wednesday when Sens.

Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, withdrew their demand that health care provisions be attached to the year-end spending legislation.

Top House GOP leaders said they were planning to put two spending bills on the floor today — a stopgap to keep government operating past Friday and an $81 billion disaster-relief package. They dropped plans to combine the two after some complained about the disaster package. MIKE DEBONIS AND ERICA

POLITICS President Trump cheered a massive overhaul of U.S. tax laws Wednesday, saying, “We broke every record.”

Flanked by Republican lawmakers, the president took a bow outside the White House shortly after the House finished its last-minute revote to pass the $1.5 trillion bill that provides generous tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans while providing smaller cuts for middle- and low-income families.

Democrats call the legislation a boon to the rich that leaves middle-class and working Americans behind.

Trump claimed it resulted in “the largest tax cut in the history of our country,” although the cuts are nowhere near the largest.

The vote was 224-201 and came hours after the Senate’s earlymorning passage along party lines. It is the first major overhaul of the nation’s tax laws since 1986.

On Twitter and in White House remarks, Trump hailed the outcome, his own efforts and the work of GOP allies, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who had drawn the president’s wrath for the Senate’s inability this summer to dismantle the health care law.

“Our team will go onto many more VICTORIES!” Trump tweeted.

Congressional Republicans have cast the bill as a blessing for the middle class, an argument they will stress in their drive to hold their congressional majorities in next year’s midterm elections. But one comment by Trump could complicate their messaging.

In praising the bill, Trump cited the deep cut in the corporate tax rate, from 35 percent to 21 percent.

DeMarcus Cousins, left, doesn’t need a point guard like John Wall to create shots for him.

THREE POINTERS

Why stars won’t align Wall and Cousins have history, but Pelicans’ center wouldn’t jell well in Washington ANALYSIS DeMarcus Cousins looked comfortable inside Capital One Arena. The Pelicans center sat at center court Tuesday afternoon, lounging and playing cards with teammates. Later on, when the Wizards handled the Pelicans in a 116-106 win, Cousins walked from the visitors’ space to the home team’s, stood near the locker room door and playfully heckled his good friend John Wall as he fielded questions from reporters.

Cousins belonged in those areas where only players and their guests can wander. But it’s difficult to imagine him roaming those halls as Wall’s teammate.

It’s natural to believe that Cousins, a rare talent in the

final year of his contract, would consider the Wizards in free agency — or in a trade — based on his relationship with Wall, his former college teammate and fellow one-and-done at Kentucky.

The 3-point shooting, trashtalking, body-bruising “Boogie” deserves to be a franchise centerpiece. He dropped 26 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in the loss to the Wizards. He’s a dominant player — possibly too dominant.

Cousins doesn’t need a dynamic, pass-first point guard in the mold of Wall. Boogie can be his own playmaker; he’s knocked down 127 unassisted shots this season, according to NBA.com.

Through 31 games, Cousins has taken 294 jump shots — 198 were from beyond the 3-point arc.

COUSINS’ USAGE

34.2%

The usage percentage — which measures the portion of team plays used by a player — for DeMarcus Cousins this season, meaning the center dominates the ball for New Orleans. Entering Wednesday, that was the second-highest in the NBA, behind Houston’s James Harden. C.B.

While it may be tempting to think of all the space Cousins could create for Wall’s drives to the rim, that would neglect Bradley Beal’s role in the offense.

In his breakout sixth season,

Beal has become the team leader in field-goal attempts (19.0) and points per game (23.8). But another ball-dominant player could potentially stunt Beal’s growth.

When the Wizards signed Otto Porter Jr. to a $106 million extension in the summer, owner Ted Leonsis memorably explained the commitment by saying how Porter fits with Wall and Beal because he doesn’t demand the ball. Leonsis also said how the goal was always to pay the max to players developed in house, because the team knows what it’s getting for the money.

Bringing in a free agent such as Cousins would force the team to surrender one of its homegrown stars to avoid a hefty tax bill.

OT Trent Williams He was named a starter for his sixth straight Pro Bowl honor. But he’s not likely to play in the game because he needs knee surgery for an injury he’s battled all year.

OG Brandon Scherff He’s a reserve this year after being picked to start last year and is the club’s first interior O-lineman to make multiple Pro Bowls since Russ Grimm (1983-86).

OLB Ryan Kerrigan

In need of a backup first baseman and some pop off the bench, the Nationals signed Matt Adams to a one-year contract worth $4 million guaranteed Wednesday, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. Adams can earn up to another $500,000 in incentives. Adams, 29, effectively replaces Adam Lind, who became a free agent last month. Last season with the Cardinals and Braves, Adams batted .274 with 20 homers. (TWP) McKayla Maroney alleges she was forced to sign settlement with USA Gymnastics to cover up sex abuse

Former top-rated recruit signs to play at Maryland

Islanders to leave Brooklyn and return to the suburbs

Britton’s trade value dives in wake of Achilles injury

Defensive end Byron Cowart, who was rated the top recruit in the country in 2015 but never started a game at Auburn, signed with Maryland on Wednesday, the start of college football’s new three-day early signing period. Cowart, who is 6 feet 3 and 280 pounds, left Auburn in September and enrolled at a community college in Florida.

He will enroll early and join the Terrapins for workouts in January.

He has two seasons of eligibility left and can play right away. As of Wednesday afternoon, the Terps’ recruiting class was rated 19th in the country, and fourth in the Big Ten, by 247sports. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The New York Islanders, who moved from their suburban home to Brooklyn in 2015, will build a new arena on the grounds of Belmont Park, home to the third leg of horse racing’s Triple Crown. State officials confirmed the deal Wednesday ahead of a formal announcement at the track. The NHL team beat out a bid from MLS club New York City FC, which envisioned building a stadium on the site just east of New York City. The Islanders played at Nassau Coliseum from their inception in 1972 until 2015, winning the Stanley Cup every year from 1980 to 1983.

The club is last in the NHL in average attendance this season. (AP)

The chances of the Orioles trading star closer Zach Britton this winter — let alone any hope they had of seeing Britton close meaningful games in September and October — more than likely died Wednesday with the news that he ruptured his right Achilles tendon during a workout Tuesday in California. A fast recovery would take six months and put Britton, who turns 30 this weekend and is in his last year of arbitrationeligible salary, on the mound in late June — enough time to reestablish his value ahead of free agency at the end of the season, but perhaps not enough to rebuild his trade value ahead of the July 31 deadline.

Tasha James PHOTOGRAPHER, BLOGGER

As the force behind fashion blog The Glossier and the photography and video company Hey Bulldog Studios, Tasha James has gotten used to photographing pretty much everyone — except for her English bulldog, Winston. “Unless he knows you have a snack on you, or something to entice him to sit still, he’s just so disinterested,” laments James, 30, who runs Hey Bulldog with her boyfriend, Christopher Cain. She’ll leave Winston at her Brentwood home on her dream day so she can focus on getting inspired by art, architecture and her fellow D.C. “tourists.” “I’m one of those weird people who doesn’t get tired of sightseeing,” James says. “[We] live in such proximity to art and music, and stuff is always happening. I can’t fathom never coming into the city.” So James and Cain will head downtown — after feeding Winston, of course.

We’re gonna go to Union Market to have breakfast at Neopol Savory Smokery. I’d have to get the smoked salmon on an everything bagel. Then I would go to the Little Leaf pop-up in Union Market for all sorts of plants and accessories. I’m sort of a crazy plant lady — I’m getting better at keeping mine alive, but if not, then I’ll end up at Little Leaf to buy more to replace them.

Then we’re going to head to the Washington National Cathedral. That’s one of my favorite places to go in D.C. for calm and quiet time. I’d head into the cathedral for the behind-the-scenes tour, where they take you into all the nooks and crannies, and even high up into the rafters so you can get close to the stained glass.

I need to squeeze in another shopping trip, so I’d head to

CHRISTOPHER CAIN

From there, I want to go to lunch at The Partisan. Our friends took us there for dinner recently and it was just incredible. We got seven or eight different dishes and shared everything. I need to go back there and try more of their food.

After that, I want to walk to the National Gallery of Art. We went to see the Vermeer exhibit that’s there now. A theme for me in my photography is that I love dramatic light, so to see how painters accomplish that with just paint is just incredible. And the way they captured fabrics like velvet and silk, it looks like it’s right in front of you. I would go back to see it again: It was really awe-inspiring to see the masters of light just do their thing.

I want to ride the Smithsonian Carousel on the National Mall. I haven’t ridden it since I was in elementary school. Most adults haven’t, I don’t think — the line will be all 3- to 5-year olds. I definitely want to relive my childhood, and it seems like a good way to kill 10 minutes.

The last thing I would do for the day would be to go to Momofuku. I had a hard time deciding between all the ramen places in D.C., but it’s the Momofuku pork belly buns that I have to have. When we go there, we have to order at least two rounds. Then it’s time to go home and take care of Winston. (AS TOLD TO LORI MCCUE)

Get out of the Christmas spirit Sugar plum fairies are nice and all, and of course we would like God to bless us every one. But it seems like every stage in the area is decked in tinsel and holly right now, and it can be a bit much. Let’s step back, take a breath of air that isn’t pine-scented and see some theater that goes easy on the fa-la-las. KRISTEN PAGE-KIRBY (EXPRESS)

‘Curve of Departure’

‘Les Miserables’

Studio Theatre, 1501 14th St. NW; through Jan. 14, $44-$90.

The touring mainstay “Les Miserables” is back in Washington, bringing its tale of injustice, sickness, poverty and death to the National Theatre, singing all the way. If your idea of holiday fun involves a political uprising and mass slaughter, then … well, then we don’t want to know what Christmas dinner is like at your house. Nearly everyone is dead at the end of “Les Mis,” but at least there’s a big red flag.

TERESA WOOD

National Theatre, 1321 Pennsylvania Ave. NW; through Jan. 7, $49-$119.

Perhaps getting your family together is a little stressful. Then you’ll empathize with the characters in “Curve of Departure.” After Felix’s father dies, Felix and his partner, Jackson, travel to the funeral, where they must share a hotel room with Felix’s mother and aging grandfather. As family secrets come out in the cramped quarters, you can feel how everyone would gladly trade up for a leaking air mattress on a rec room floor, just to get a little privacy. Family can be stressful, but on the bright side, we’ll all eventually die and won’t have to worry about it anymore.

THURSDAY | 12.21.2017 | EXPRESS | 21

weekendpass ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ Compass Rose Theater, 49 Spa Road, Annapolis; through Jan. 21, $38.

‘Annie’

“The Nutcracker” has its “Waltz of the Flowers”; “Fiddler on the Roof” has its cool line dance where all the guys balance bottles on their heads. Tevye, a milkman in the village of Anatevka, is a mostly happy family man who realizes that teenage daughters can be a huge pain in the neck and that things aren’t easy for Jewish people in early-20th-century Russia. There is no resemblance to the traditional Christmas story in this musical, though one character eventually goes to Siberia and therefore will really get to experience letting it snow, letting it snow, letting it snow. A deeply loving family surrounded by a wonderfully vibrant community might make you feel Christmassy inside; the fact that most of the actual Christians in the show are complete jerks might not.

Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney-Sandy Spring Road, Olney, Md.; through Jan. 7, $47-$95.

STAN BAROUH

There’s a giant Christmas tree at the end of “Annie,” but that’s about all you’ll see of the season in this beloved musical. Instead you’ll get the Great Depression, alcoholism and child abandonment, plus an extortion and kidnapping plot. Still, Annie’s unrelenting optimism brings a bit of cheer to every scene she’s in. Whether you like it or not. Plus, it’s better to have “Tomorrow” stuck in your head than that blasted “Carol of the Bells.”

‘The Last Night of Ballyhoo’

TERESA CASTRACANE

O Christmas tree, filling our hearts with the joy and wonder of Christmas! Or it’s, O Christmas tree, formerly pagan symbol of American assimilation! “The Last Night of Ballyhoo” is about the Freitags, a Jewish family in 1939 with a fully decorated pine in the parlor. Though it’s set in the season, “Ballyhoo” isn’t about Christmas — it’s actually an alternating dramatic and comedic look at the pre-WWII anti-Semitism that not only looms from across the Atlantic, but right in the Freitags’ hometown of Atlanta. There’s romance, family, the tree and a big party; minus the whole religion thing, it sounds an awful lot like Christmas.

MARGOT SCHULMAN

Theater J, 1529 16th St. NW; through Dec. 31, $34-$64.

‘Charlotte’s Web’ Imagination Stage, 4908 Auburn Ave., Bethesda; through Jan. 7, $14-$32.

“Come, children, gather ‘round and learn where our Christmas ham came from.” Imagination Stage sets to create a generation of vegans with the classic story of “Charlotte’s Web.” After saving Wilbur from the abattoir, literate spider Charlotte helps him off the dinner table and into fame.

“Charlotte’s Web” is about remembering the importance of family, even if that family is a different species than you. Bring the kids to see this and then try not to think about how, as you’re taking the Christmas lights down from your porch, you’re probably REALLY CLOSE to at least one spider.

Smithsonian, even the Postal Museum,” is one good idea.

However, some people are harder to please. To help you out, I’ve identified three types of difficult-to-entertain visitors and offered ideas for getting them out of the house.

New Yorkers People from New York believe that their city is superior to all others, so give them what they want: a tour of D.C. that supports their smugness. Start with breakfast at Buffalo & Bergen, a Union Market restaurant that literally trucks in dough from New York because D.C.’s municipal water supposedly isn’t good enough to make a decent bagel. Then, take a tour of the U.S. Capitol and ask your guide pointed questions about whether the building really should have been located in lower Manhattan.

Afterward, head to what you’ll say is D.C.’s premier dinner spot, Trump International Hotel’s BLT Prime by David Burke.

Order steak for everyone at the table, and demand that it be served presidential-style

— well-done, with ketchup — just the way Manhattanite Donald Trump likes it. Your guests will leave D.C. joyously brimming with stories to tell their friends back home.

Squirrel enthusiasts No one knows why, but tourists are obsessed with these fluffytailed rodents. On the National Mall, entire school groups will circle around a single squirrel, as if it’s leading a guided tour.

For even better squirrel viewing, check out the Prevost’s squirrels at the National Zoo. With their black, white and reddish-brown coats, these striking Asian squirrels make our Eastern gray squirrels look positively drab.

Then, head to Silver Spring’s Acorn Urban Park and take a

It’s OK to be nosy.

seat in the giant, acorn-shaped gazebo that gave the park its name. While there, keep an eye out for black squirrels, descendants of the dark-hued Canadian squirrels that Smithsonian scientists released into nearby Rock Creek Park for no good reason in 1902.

All this hopping about will probably make you hungry, so toast your furry friends with a bowl of chilled acorn noodles at Chiko, a Chinese-Korean fusion restaurant on Barracks Row.

People who call D.C. a swamp If only that were true. Many of the area’s ecologically rich wetlands have been dredged and drained, but there are still a few protected swamps that might convince your outof-town visitors to stop using

people

the word pejoratively. Take a walk along the boardwalks at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens and revel in the stark beauty of the winter landscape. Or check out the 1.5-mile swamp trail on Theodore Roosevelt Island, which threads through cattail marshes and sunlight-dappled woods.

Should your visitors still insist on seeing D.C.’s metaphorical swamp, download “American Scandal Audio Tour” on iTunes or Google Play and take them on a 2-mile trek through D.C.’s most infamous spots, including the park where, in 1859, New York congressman Daniel Sickles shot his wife’s lover. Finish the day with a drink at one of the bars at The Watergate Hotel — apparently something sketchy happened there, too.

by Segway, pedalboard and duck boat for the better part of two years. I’ve ridden every Smithsonian virtual reality ride, visited every public bathroom on the Mall, and very nearly took a swim in the Anacostia. These adventures were fun, but my favorite part of the job is all the time I get to spend hanging out with tourists.

D.C. tourists are a fun and varied bunch: You’ve got your garrulous school groups, your well-dressed international visitors, your people who stop at the bottom of escalators as if there’s no one behind them.

But we are now in the midst of an annual migration of a very special kind of tourist: friends and relatives who are visiting for the holidays.

Generally, these folks are happy to sit in your living room and drink and gossip.

But at some point, you may run out of liquor. What will you do? “Send them to any

David Bradley, left, is clearly just as distraught as the rest of us that Peter Capaldi, right, is leaving “Doctor Who.”

‘Doctor Who: Twice Upon a Time’ Peter Capaldi, the greatest actor to have ever played the lead role in “Doctor Who” [sound of thousands of people hitting “new email”], is leaving the show. This means that “Twice Upon a Time,” the long-running British series’ 2017 Christmas special, will be the saddest farewell “Doctor Who” has ever had [sound of thousands of people sending David Tennant GIFs]. Sure, true Whovians will have already seen the special on TV on Christmas Day, but the big-screen showings later in the week include a behind-the-scenes look at the filming of the episode and clips celebrating Capaldi’s four-year tenure. It’s good to be with friends (even those you haven’t met) when it’s time to say goodbye — and hello to Jodie Whittaker, the 13th Doctor and first woman to play the part [sound of a thousand misogynists freaking out and consequently being ignored]. Various locations; Wed. & Dec. 28, 7 p.m., various prices, go to fathomevents.com for details and participating theaters.

Holiday classics at AFI Silver

Road, Silver Spring; through Sun., various times, $10-$13 per film.

If you’re looking for a shorter (but still impressive) Christmas movie marathon, The Miracle Theatre is showing “The Polar Express” (3:30 p.m.), “White Christmas” (6 p.m.) and “Elf” (8:45 p.m.) on Friday. So one musical, one comedy and one train ride through the uncanny valley with weird Cartoon Tom Hanks at the helm. The kids are probably off from school — and if not, it’s not like they’re going to do anything productive anyway, so they should skip — and it’s a nice way for families to spend time together without having to actually speak to one another. And that is a Christmas miracle. The Miracle Theatre, 535 Eighth St. SE; Fri., various times, $6-$8 per film.

‘Santa Baby’

Written by Joan Javits and Philip Springer

“It’s about trying to get things out of Santa by arousing him,” Tannenbaum says of this purring ode to materialism. “If you’re arranging a Christmas pageant for fourth-graders, you do not want them singing ‘Santa Baby.’ ”

2

‘A Christmas Carol’ Written by Tom Lehrer

“The approach he takes is that no one ever addresses the real theme of Christmas, which is buying gifts,” Tannenbaum says of this little-known song by satirist Tom Lehrer. “I love the fact that it ends with a poop joke.”

Christmas can be exhausting, with the shopping and the baking and the decorating and then realizing you have no memory of where you stashed the kids’ presents. Tell Martha Stewart to stuff her stocking where the sun don’t shine, and just hide from it all. That’s possible this weekend — the brilliant schedulers at the AFI Silver have made it so you can spend an entire day gorging on both Christmas movies and popcorn. The movies vary from day to day, but on Saturday, for example, you can see the 1951 version of “A Christmas Carol,” “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “A Christmas Story” and “Die Hard.” It’s not chestnuts roasting on an open fire, but popcorn popping smells better anyway.

“The great Christmas songs were written by Jews,” says Rob Tannenbaum, above.

“It’s hard to find something to rhyme with Hanukkah.”

As half of the duo Good for the Jews, which pens comedic songs about Jewish culture, he should know. Ahead of a Christmas Eve show, Tannenbaum singled out three holiday songs composed by Jews.

The 1700s Christmas at Mount Vernon Mount Vernon, 3200 Mount Vernon Memorial Highway, Mount Vernon, Va.; through Jan. 6, 9 a.m.-4 p.m., $18-$20 (kids 6-11: $9-$10; kids under 6 free).

You might not think George Washington was a party animal, but that’s because you didn’t know he paid 18 shillings to bring a camel to amuse guests at his Christmas party in 1787. Aladdin, that camel’s spiritual heir, is one of the holiday attractions at Mount Vernon through Jan. 6. Although Mount Vernon isn’t hosting a true New Year’s Eve party, it will be open on Dec. 31 for a kid-friendly (or anyone-friendly) daytime celebration. Visitors can see a chocolate-making demonstration; costumed interpreters will discuss holidays on the plantation; there’s fifing; and for $7 extra, you can learn about the foods the first first couple would have eaten for Christmas dinner, including a sample beverage (noon, Tuesday through Dec. 31).

The 1990s Back in da Day ’90s New Year’s Eve Ten Tigers Parlour, 3813 Georgia Ave. NW; Dec. 31, 9 p.m.-3 a.m., $60.

If you’re longing for the days when the biggest presidential scandal involved a blue dress, the Back in da Day ’90s New Year’s Eve party at Ten Tigers Parlour is probably where you want to go. Dance to Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, JAY-Z — basically, if it’s a song that makes you run screaming onto a wedding reception dance floor after three drinks, you’ll hear it.

There will also be ’90s arcade games on hand, an hour of both an open bar and unlimited hors d’oeuvres, and a free champagne toast at midnight. Party like it’s 1999, if only because Prince was still alive and that just made the whole world better.

We all thought 2016 was a dumpster fire of a year.

Then came 2017, which was a conflagration of epic proportions, and now we’re all thinking, “Hey, next year has to be better.”

BUT THAT’S WHAT WE THOUGHT IN 2016. This New Year’s Eve, there’s one way to sidestep our apparently inevitable slouching toward annihilation: Look to the past. As the flames of 2018 approach, let’s go back in time — for one night, at least.

The 1920s Bootlegger’s Bash Barrel & Bushel, 7901 Tysons One Place, Tysons Corner, Va.; Dec. 31, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., $79-$129.

The 1800s Noon Year’s Eve Tudor Place, 1644 31st St. NW; Dec. 31, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., sold out (limited $5 member tickets still available).

It’s possible your kids will be awake at midnight on New Year’s Eve, and it’s probable no one is going to be happy about it. Tire them out early at Tudor Place’s Noon Year’s Eve, an ageappropriate celebration for kids 2 to 4. Granted, when the historic house was built in 1816, “ageappropriate” probably meant “go harvest some crops, then come home and be seen and not heard.” At this event, kids can fuel up on juice, create an unholy din with noisemakers and throw confetti around (while parents can imagine what it was like to have kids in the 1800s).

Travel to the era of scandalous dances, nifty haircuts and sloshing booze down your throat as fast as possible before the cops break up the party. No, not high school. Barrel & Bushel is hosting its annual Bootlegger’s Bash, a throwback to the 1920s. Flapper attire is encouraged, and there’s a prize for the best dressed.

Unlimited hors d’oeuvres, access to a bar serving specialty cocktails, a cigar bar and a champagne toast at midnight will help you forget that, thanks to a huge wealth gap and staggeringly unwise economic decisions, the stock market crash of 1929 is just around the corner.

The 1960s International Spy Gala New Year’s Eve

The 1980s

Washington Plaza Hotel, 10 Thomas Circle NW; Dec. 31, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., $100-$150, VIP: $200-$300, couples: $290-$390.

Lost & Found, 1240 Ninth St. NW; Dec. 31, 6 p.m.-1:30 a.m., free admission.

James Bond has been updated again and again over the decades, but his signature style will always be from the 1960s. The 16th International Spy Gala embraces the tuxes and martinis while (hopefully) rejecting the misogyny with its black-tie-optional, secret-agent-themed celebration. There’s an open bar, music, a live feed to Times Square and a mock casino, so you can pretend you know how to play craps without actually losing any money.

Cocktails & Dreams ’80s New Year For one night, Lost & Found will transform itself into Cocktails & Dreams, the bar from the classic Tom Cruise film “Cocktail.” At this ’80s-themed New Year’s Eve party, they’ll be serving throwback drinks while ever-drunker patrons sing along to the greatest radio hits of the era.

There’s no cover, costumes are encouraged, and the first person to sing “Take On Me” will be blessed with good luck in the coming year.

All-Star Christmas Day Jazz Jam

Former “30 Rock” star, avid hat collector and Maryland native Judah Friedlander returns home for the holidays and a weekend of pre-Christmas shows at the DC Improv, where he appears nearly every year. This time, Friedlander, whose comedy is often either observational or about what the country would be like if he were president, is touring behind a new Netflix comedy special, “America Is the Greatest Country in the United States.”

The title says it all, doesn’t it?

If you need something to do on Christmas Day (that isn’t a movie or Chinese food), head to the Kennedy Center for the 19th installment of the All-Star Christmas Day Jazz Jam. The event’s band features vibraphonist Chuck Redd, drummer Lenny Robinson, trumpeters Robert Redd and Tom Williams, bassist James King and vocalist Delores King Williams. There should be jazz versions of Christmas songs because, legally, this is the last day of the year you’re allowed to play them. Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; Mon., 6 p.m., free.

The jungle’s still rumbling FILM REVIEW Twenty-two years later — and many leaps forward in video game and movie technology — comes a sequel to “Jumanji.”

“Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” a souped-up follow-up to the 1995 film starring Robin Williams, also shares as its source the surreal 1981 picture book by writer and illustrator Chris Van Allsburg, about siblings who open a board game that brings jungle animals careering through their house.

The Jake Kasdan-directed film, out now, is a genuine hoot and doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s smarter and more humorous than the first movie, and also delivers a message, geared to teens, about overcoming their insecurities to participate fully in life, without pounding the lesson into the ground.

The film’s stars — Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillan — are darn near impossible to dislike, in roles that require them to play teenagers trapped in adult bodies.

In a prologue set in 1996, the abandoned Jumanji game from the first film is found on a beach.

A teen rejects the old carved box, preferring his video game. But he hears the sound of drums coming from the box, opens it and …

Cut to a present-day high school where four kids have landed in detention: neurotic nerd Spencer

It’s crazy how quickly teenagers grow up these days.

‘Showman’ puts on one cheesy show

COLUMBIA PICTURES

The ‘Jumanji’ follow-up brims with wit, action and fun special effects

(Alex Wolff); hunky football jock Fridge (Ser’Darius Blain); shy brainiac Martha (Morgan Turner); and Instagram queen Bethany (Madison Iseman). The four discover the Jumanji box, inside which is an antique video game. The original board game, it seems, has evolved. The teens select avatars and accidentally beam themselves into the game’s jungle — not as themselves, but as their digital alter egos.

Spencer is now Dr. Smolder Bravestone (Johnson), a musclebound adventurer. Fridge learns he is now Franklin “Moose” Finbar (Hart), a diminutive zoologist who whines a lot. Martha is now martial arts dynamo Ruby Roundhouse (Gillan).

‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ (PG-13, 118 min.)

DIRECTOR: Jake Kasdan STARS: Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas IN A NUTSHELL: The Jumanji board game is now a video game and four kids are transported into the game’s jungle as their adult avatars.

And the self-absorbed Bethany has turned into Dr. Shelly Oberon, a paleontologist and cartographer played by Black. That’s right.

Shelly is short for Sheldon. In the film’s choicest moments, Black adopts subtle quirks of intonation and body language to channel a

high school glamour girl who’s creeped out over having, as she puts it, “an overweight middleaged man” as her avatar.

Then there’s a villain, greedy explorer Van Pelt (Bobby Cannavale), who has stolen a jewel from a sacred jaguar sculpture, bringing a curse upon the world of the game. To survive all its levels and exit Jumanji, the four avatars — with the help of a stranded pilot (Nick Jonas) — must dodge Van Pelt’s goons and return the jewel.

But it’s the characters, not the convoluted plot or digital magic, that make “Welcome to the Jungle” such fun. For a high-concept Hollywood special-effects movie, that’s quite a concept indeed.

JANE HORWITZ (THE WASHINGTON POST)

CASTING

Josh Gad and Judi Dench join Disney’s ‘Artemis Fowl’ Disney’s live-action adaptation of “Artemis Fowl,” Eoin Colfer’s children’s book series about a 12-yearold criminal mastermind, has officially added to its cast Josh Gad and Judi Dench, the latter of whom was rumored to be attached to the film. Disney also tapped newcomer Ferdia Shaw for the title role, according to Variety. The film, directed by Kenneth Branagh, has an Aug. 9, 2019, release date. (EXPRESS) Kristen Roupenian, author of The New Yorker’s viral short story “Cat Person,” lands seven-figure, two-book deal

FILM REVIEW Though it features a character named P.T. Barnum, “The Greatest Showman” is in no way a factual account of the life of the 19th-century circus founder and huckster, played here by Hugh Jackman. And this musical, directed by first-timer Michael Gracey, never aspires to be anything more than a heaping helping of PG-rated holiday cheese — something that the whole family can partake in.

In this story, Barnum and his wife (Michelle Williams) are parents struggling to make ends meet. Then Barnum dreams up a novel way to make money, via a museum of curiosities. He forms his troupe, including a bearded lady (Keala Settle), tiny Tom Thumb (Sam Humphrey) and the sibling trapeze artists W.D. and Anne Wheeler (Yahya AbdulMateen II and Zendaya).

Barnum finds success addictive, becoming a social climber. Meanwhile, his new partner, Phillip Carlyle (Zac Efron), falls for Anne. Perhaps these two lovebirds, along with the rest of the quirky cast, can show Barnum that there’s more to life than money and fame.

Will you buy any of this? Not really. In part, that’s because everything about the movie feels artificial, from the singers’ auto-tuned voices to the CGI acrobatics. In other words, don’t overthink it. All “Showman” asks is that you give yourself over to the holiday-cheer machine, if you can. STEPHANIE MERRY (TWP)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re enjoying an opportunity that someone you know enjoyed only a short time ago. It may be valuable to share stories with each other.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are far more enthusiastic about certain planned activities today than anyone might have guessed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use as few words as possible today, especially when passing on the most important messages. Too many words are a distraction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You mustn’t rely on anyone to clean up after you today — literally or figuratively. Be responsible for yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have some fun to look forward to today — but first you must tend to certain responsibilities that stand between you and the prize.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll be inspired by someone who, you now realize, has been by your side all along. It’s a good day to express your gratitude.

TODAY: High pressure should provide partly to mostly sunny skies. But the air mass is still a rather cool one. That means highs mainly stay near in the mid-40s, with light winds. Clouds may start to increase again tonight as high pressure starts to move away. But we should stay dry with lows near 30 to the mid-30s.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You may be asked for a full report on a recent adventure, but you may only have time to share highlights.

HOW TO REACH US

TO PLACE A CLASSIFIED AD:

Eva Longoria is expecting her first child with husband Jose “Pepe” Baston, a rep for Longoria confirmed to People. The 42-year-old actress is four months along with a baby boy.

This child will be the first for Longoria, who was previously married to NBA player Tony Parker and actor Tyler Christopher. Baston has three children from a previous marriage.

Longoria and Baston wed in 2016. (EXPRESS)

Khloe Kardashian confirmed Wednesday a months-long rumor that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Cleveland Cavaliers player Tristan Thompson. “My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby!” she wrote on Instagram. “I know we’ve been keeping this quite [sic] but we wanted to enjoy this between our family and close friends as long as we could privately.” The black-and-white photo shows Kardashian and Thompson cradling the reality star’s bare belly. She did not reveal the sex of the child or when she’s due. Her sister Kim Kardashian West is expecting a child via surrogate; their half sister Kylie Jenner is also reportedly pregnant, though she hasn’t confirmed it. (EXPRESS)
