Pope Leo Gives 1st Christmas Address; Storms Continue to Batter Calif. | NTD Evening News (Dec. 25)

Millions of Californians are under a state of emergency this Christmas Day as a deadly storm batters the Golden State with heavy flooding and high winds, with more severe weather on the way. Some residents are evacuating, while others are sheltering at home.

Pope Leo delivered his first Christmas Day address at the Vatican Thursday, calling for an end to global conflicts, with particular emphasis on Ukraine and the Middle East. Meanwhile, Christians in Lebanon and Syria marked Christmas even as military clashes continue in both countries.

On Christmas Eve, President Donald Trump surprised children by answering NORAD Santa calls. He also spoke with U.S. service members to thank them for their service, and to acknowledge the sacrifices they and their families make when duty separates them during the holiday season.
