Hundreds of people gathered at the Church of the Nativity in the holy city of Bethlehem to mark another solemn Christmas marred by the war in Gaza. Missing for a second consecutive year were the festive decorations, and the crowd paled in comparison to the throngs of tourists and pilgrims of Christmases past -- a reflection of the somber mood as the war between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip drags on. Traditionally in Bethlehem, a grand Christmas tree would light up Manger Square, but local authorities opted against elaborate celebrations for a second year.

The number of 401(k) millionaires rose by 9.5% in the third quarter of 2024, growing from 497,000 to 544,000 individuals with seven-figure retirement savings.
