Operation Holiday: Single mom working to give son a happy Christmas
That last year has been rough for Tami and her 6-year-old son, and the difficulties of the COVID pandemic are just the beginning. Tami’s husband died of cancer last December, and since then it’s been a struggle to raise him as a single mother.

Grotz: NFC mediocrity shouldn’t get Eagles’ fans playoff hopes too high
The Eagles got help Sunday from the hated Dallas Cowboys, who defeated the Washington Football Team and presented an eye-opening blueprint of how to do it, although we don’t recommend Nick Sirianni follow the lead of Mike McCarthy by guaranteeing victory.

Television: British import ‘Vera’ is binge-worthy viewing
British television has given me a new show to binge, all 11 seasons of it. I took my time finding it, but once I saw one episode of “Vera,” with Brenda Blethyn playing a rumpled working class chief detective assigned to complex London murder cases, I craved the lot of them. The clues from which Vera Stanhope solves her mysteries at times don’t add up in the way you’d expect, but Blethyn and her nuclear cast always keep their pursuits of the guilty interesting and entertaining.
