A mansion in the country isn’t a bad place to spend Christmas, especially when you’re a restless, internationally alleged criminal whose most recent bed was in prison. As Newsweek reveals in its newly published photo exposé, Julian Assange spent his holiday season in a calm, relaxing, and at times adorable fashion.

Newsweek‘s gallery shows the WikiLeaks founder partaking in some simple seasonal activities, such as donning Santa Claus outfits, sifting through the impressive number of Christmas cards sent to him, and crossing his arms at what appears to be someone’s family dinner. Wow, he really is just like the rest of us!

You can check out some of the pictures below and see more from Julian Assange’s December over at Newsweek.com.

No, thanks….Does anyone wonder why Newsweek’s circulation is in the crapper?

I wonder if Newsweek will leak his Christmas pictures from his cell in Leavenworth? Oh, how festive that would be!

How can it be leaked when it was taken for the purpose of publishing it.

He is not a U.S. citizen and has committed no crime.

You are responding to idiots who do not realize that a non-citizen can not be charged with treason. Even Sarah Palin found the Wikileaked information useful for her little Op-Ed! Haha….!

The Russians would have given him the umbrella that shoots out the little cyanide pellet.

“He is not a U.S. citizen and has committed no crime”.

Oh. Thanks for clearing that up. And here I thought being in possession of stolen classified documents, distribution of same, extortion (the repeated threats of further releases if he was arrested) and what most likely fits well under espionage laws were, um, crimes.

So…you can steal US classified stuff and use it for fun and profit without committing a crime? Huh. Who knew?

Than ks for your brilliant analysis. I feel better now.

The criminals are the governments attempting to shut down a totally free press. The enlisted man in 23 hours confinement without any charges tells you something about our autocratic our of control government and just one more of the many crimes they have committed in the name of the American People. While, he should not for his own safety be in a general population, he should be placed in protective custody until he has been found guilty of a crime. By putting him in solitary confinement without a proper foundation, they may not be able to prosecute him at all. The U.S. is a Police State and has been for years.
