quarter, drive to the basket. the shot is pour. the sixers looked good in the first half, struggled in the second and ended up losing a tough one, 123 to # 16. let's talk some eagles. only one game left in the 2016 season. the eagles now need to focus on who will be back in uniform next week. running back ryan matthews. that decision might have been made easier during thursday night's win over the giants. he suffered a herniated disc in his neck while plunging for the end zone and is now scheduled to have surgery to repair the disc. obviously he will be out for the final game verse the cowboys. doug pederson addresses the senior that matthews had. >> he got off to a good start and then a little bit of a lull and then he was strong. that's the nature of the for season. he really the last couple of weeks has been the workhorse and

did some really good things for us and this obviously is unfortunately. we'll have more on matthews. the giants came in who the on thursday night. winners of two straight over the dallas cowboys. if there's a sure way to defeat them, it's you. he lie manning struggled including a back breaking six who believes thursday's win was a big one for the youth movement. >> winning these type of games this late in the year, although for us nothing counted, it sure had that feel. with all the young players that we have, that experience carries over. it's an opportunity for the team to grow closer together in adverse times and in challenging games to find a way to come out and win is lessons that everybody needs to learn. a good season. later this morning we have a long day of football coverage for you right here.

split if that's coming up next. when sharing a bad idea, why one author says teaching your kids to share, that might be a bad less objection to the form i don't get that than would. stick with us, happy holidays, we're continuing to listen to your favorite holiday songs. send them to us. some people are tweeting us themselves wishing us happy holidays or even senninger. do that we've got t-shirts that we'll give to you. send the video for goodness sakes. we'll be right back.

food rapper over their shoulder as soon as they've poll issued off the last bite of their cheeseburger per. out of the fear that they might be used by terrorists to dispose of a bomb, the trash cans have disappeared in all city neighborhoods. frankly that's not an excuse. kenny's clean up will success based on the feelings. if this is really the city of neighborhoods that we spend so much time bragging we'll hang onto the trash until we get home. over time the message will red. we don't tolerate mess in our neighborhoods. those who come in to dump in the burbs, they'll likely to get caught. more than 30 years ago, william penn described. with a copy of the pennsylvania charter in his left hand.

a little bit. the rush of finding the perfect holiday gift, for some it's actually fun not so much if you're running up credit cards for your purchases. what are your options for staying on top of your credit cards this season? let's find out. we're cashing in. you know when it comes to plastic americans say deal me in. we have a record number of credit cards, the average con i'mer has 2.6 cards and their kate spade clutch. that's a lot of plastic. easy to understand why. have you ever ride to rent a car without one? impossible. the fact is we really don't need all the cards in our wallet. here's a few tips of when to get rid of it and how to get rid of it when you no longer need it. just like in real life relationships just need to end for whatever reason. the same holds true with your credit card. the reality is if you haven't dated in over a year you're

probably not going to need it again. you don't need the cards laying around cluttering up your sock drawer. it will hold your credit store, but in the long term you'll be just fine and you're betting off without it. time to move on. 18, that's the magic number. i'm talking about 18 percent. that's the average interest on a credit card. if you've got decent credit and you're paying more than that. not so good. check credit card.com. transfer your balance over, break up with the old once. finally sometimes relationships end through no fault of either party. same holds true of either card. an old gym member high pressure or maybe a prescription that you can't seem to cancel. if your credit card company can't help you get rid of them

and you've tried everything you can do, well, if they're not part of the solution, they're part of the problem. close the account, start over. okay, you've paid the decision to end the relationship. bye-bye, credit card, but just like life, sometimes it's easier to begin a relationship than it is to end an relation high pressure. here's what you need to do, call your credit card company on the phone, tell them it's been great, but i'm out of here. they'll tell you you exactly what you need to do to close the car. sometimes breaking up is hard to do, but sometimes it's the right thing to do. i'm having a moment. i'm cashing out.

♪ i had an injury to my neck.

it wasn't as serious injury it was a herniated disc. anything that could go wrong went wrong. i've been in the hospital twenty three times since. the bills started to pile up. i had nothing to give. we had nothing in the refrigerator. i would be dead and not sitting here right now if it wasn't for pond lehocky.

> it's time for some philly science where we look at some of the crazy things that researchers are for example sabina. et cetera a one of the things we learn when we're really young. sharing is caring, right? maybe we shouldn't be teaching our kids to share? that's according to doctor lauren mark up. the author of the new book pieceful parent, happy sibling. she says teaching kids to shares do haven't teach them the lessons we want them to learn. forced sharing teaches kids if they cry loud enough they'll get what they want and it will teach them that being a greedy person has advantages. be careful. you want your kids to share for all the right reasons, not because you forced them to. coming up, one local student is making sure that everyone feels the holiday spirit and it all started with simply checking her

mailbox. how she turned one christmas card into an entire holiday mission that's now spanning the world. we got that coming up.

home. these are good ideas. the mobile home park was having a good day for the kids this afternoon and yes, there is a home for sale. three bedroom, one bath, a mobile home with a porch and deck in the front. it's a beautiful home. at about $25,000, not bad for a place to live and there's no property tax. but you will shell out 490-dollars a month for the space. forget the details. it's the spirit we're talking about. as perfect as christmas is concerned, it's not about what you get, it's p about the thought. you know what i peen? >> yeah i do, whatever you buy, the people closest to you, especially if you work a lot like i do, what they really want is just a little more of your time. it took me a long time to learn that. maybe i'm ' still working on it. bank. i'm hang and that's my take. merry christmas. i sit next to hang upstairs in the news room.

i'll say publicly what i say to him privately all the time, there's something wrong with you. bank. how about that. a lot of sketches in a short period of time all in one studio. the show gave a look of what it goes through one set to another. take it. guys, on the move. saturday night life. 106789. 35. nothing we can do about it now. how cool is that? they're dog that in front of a live audience. you're seeing them pulling that altogether. the count down clock in the corner showing how much time is left before the host actually comes out. obviously a lot of rehearsing goes into both the sketches andetting up and striking down the set. look at that.

they have what, 930 seconds when they started that? the credits run for 90 seconds. that's crazy. we should do that. let's come back live. come here, man. let's see how we can move -- we can move this plant. crystal can help us move the chairs around. that's why they're professional, bill. we move just like that and it only took like 30 seconds. can we scroll? we'll come over here. we're setting stuff up. i would like you to move the wall shall please. >> you got it. tell us about the weather. there's not a lot of moving for me. i push a button and that's it and it moves things. that's all the moving we do on the weather side of things. good morning, everybody and merry christmas and happy hanukkah. we're looking at a morning that's starting off pretty soggy

across town. looking at ultimate doppler showing us moderate rains as you get into chester county. the rain will continue to progress off towards the east and by say 1:00 i think it's still going to be over south jersey, but everybody is done with the rain around say 3:00. that's when we give the all clear in terms of rain. 31 in the poconos to near 40 here in town. 41 in millville, 45-degrees in atlantic city. five to ten mile per hour winds out there this morning so that is kind of adding insult to injure. it is not the best feeling morning and certainly not the best looking morning with all the rain atown. the storm system is hung up across the east. it's a different type of weather where they're talking blizzard alerts across the northern planes. this type of year it could be a whole lot colder. 47 here in philadelphia. the mild air down to the south. there is going to be some mild air working up out of the south.

afternoon his today upper 30s and middle 40s across town. for tonight temperatures falling back to the 20s. up the lehigh valley and poconos here in town, 34-degrees or so. watch out forth possibility of refreezing. some of the bridges and overpasses may become a little slick, especially if you're traveling very late tonight. it's a mild christmas day, 47-degrees, a mixture of sunshine and clouds on monday. 50-degrees. temperatures are just easy to take as we get into next week. the next really threat for some wet weather comes in -- i think the thursday storm is bigger than the tuesday storm. 45-degrees and then another artic outbreak next weekend. i'm upstate new york. i'm the tippinger lakes. skiing. >> no, a little wine drinking, hanging out with with the lady. i got snow tires. finally. > maybe i'm buying time because i don't even understand this next discussion. we'll see. some people will sell just about

anything to eastern a buck and one college student is earning money selling positive pregnancy tests on craigslist. a great stocking stuffer, guys. she charges $25 each. she claims she's earning up to $200 a day. you're taking a look at her ad. she promises not to inquire about what exactly her customers wanted to use the test for, anonymous seller says ' was inspired by other pregnant women doing the same thing. a bad joke. for less money you can just buy a fake pregnancy test 9.99. i feel like how this is most vh1 reality shows start off. i really do. you understand if you connect the dots. there's some women out there that are trying to get the man to go ahead and pay up and say, you know, i'm pregnant with your

baby. for such and such i'll do this, which is absolutely despicable:they're going to find out. you're seeing the poll question, i can't imagine anybody is going to vote yes, it's okay to sell false positive pregnancy tests. if you do, that's on you. i would be flipped out. we're pregnant. he would, okay. > merry christmas. tweet us your answer. if you're willing to be public about the fact that you think this is okay you can tweet it, put it on facebook, and a video of you explaining why something like this is okay. n p ba ballers, professional athletes, got to watch out. if you need to fine a way to destress, as your home fills up with family and friends. of course there is an app for that. we'll explain next. plus the quick and easy rest pees to keep your family april friends happy this even. let's get ourselves together. you stick with us. we'll be right back.

snow orphreysing rain or something like that as we take a look at center city. you can see off the right, the me nora is there symbolizing tonight is the first night of hanukkah. for everybody that is celebrating that we want to acknowledge you and wish you well. mike, we need -- we need name tags. no snow. >> no no. you got to go north that's where we're finding a little freezing rain. bill, right? way up towards the northern poconos and up towards the lehigh valley, 476 north that's where we're finding a little freezing drizzle. otherwise people are talking about the maryland rate rains, heavy times at times. say about 1:00 it will be exiting stage right. i think it's off the shore points around 2 or 3:00. the big focus is out to the

west. i know that's not an issue here in town, but if you are trying to get out of here and you're going west there's one mean storm that's setting up across the rockies and northern planes. they have blizzard warnings. some really chilly temperatures, 39 in philadelphia. 40s along our shore points and we're on our way today for temperatures closer to 50-degrees. 48 in atlantic city and somers point checking in at 40 for this morning. a little bit of a wind out there five to ten miles per hour. your forecast for the west of today goes to 45-degrees. mostly cloudy skies after 2:00 in philadelphia. 50-degrees with mostly sunny conditions and nice and mild. again, watch out, maybe a little refreezing for tonight with temperatures dropping into the 0s and 30s the we'll talk pore about your forecast coming up in just a little bit. william, to you. >> thank you very much, sir. i appreciate that. now, the cold and wet weather,

not deterring am from an annual tradition in south philadelphia. sabina kuriakose is there. people have been lined up all morning and people having a great time. >>reporter: they're still having a great time and people are still coming in. i want to he who you an article on the wall here. it's over 20 years ago. we interviewed a couple folks in mind. one of them, michael defrancisco than a he had his son with i am h. guess who we're going to event view now, michael and his son mark. we just showed him the article that you pointed out to me. that's unbelievable. it's been hanging there for the past 20 years. it's really been something we look forward to every time we come in. you said do we have a copy of it? >> no, we don't.

we know it's not going anywhere. every time we come in. we see the family. it's really about the experience, not b just about the great food as i told this lady next to me. you've been coming here since you were three. >> that's correct. how did it all start in. >> my parents were friendly with joe termini, the founder who lived in enna sicily and it was a neighborhood bakery back then. and every christmas it became a tradition to come here for the cannolis and all the fine pastries that were made here. after my dad passed away, i continued the rain across digs with mark and my other son john and we've been coming every year since. what does it mean to be able to pass it on for generations. tradition is very important in an italian family and in most families so we right to continue the tradition of what my mother did and what my grandmother did and migrate mother did and it's

important. it's very important to have the tradition. i think it's beautiful. mark, you heard your dad talking about it, what do you think when you hear him talking about the tradition and just being here. christmas eve, you know. it's inning because you don't realize when a tradition is happening, it kind of happens. at some point you realize this is a tradition. there's a tradition now. you feel the honor to be able to carry it on. i have to give a shout jut to my brother who is here every year. he's running a little late with his daughter sophia. three generations in one store. when sophia gets here, right. >> yes. > hurry up. we'll be here. >> we'll be off at 9:00 and run down there reel quick.

manning put it up for grabs. it's intercepted. taking it away, terrence brooks. let's get on enthusiasm. the streak is over. the eagles beat the giants at the link, ending a five-game losing streak. we've got the guys, sean and sean to break it down. good morning to you you. >> good morning, early one. it's the early look, okay. it's christmas eve. we're excited the eagles got early christmastime. they finally came clutch. finally. it took the seventh try to do so. on and 6 before thursday's game when it comes to seven points or less. they finally came through in a clutch and it's mow meant up. i know it's a separate season next year, but still you could look back on this and saying okay, we can do this because this would have been in their

head all off season if they weren't able to come up with a win in a clutch situation. carson wentz gets it done early the defense gets it done late and this ends a lot of the questions when it comes to coaching. i think it does, because i think one win separates and you could say, okay, this is doug's rookie year, he finally got it done at the end. this can carry over. a lot of people were calling for his job now. i'm not one of them. i am not after one year. i don't think you should do it after one year. he deserves another season no matter where he's the at. i still find myself scratching my head with some of his play calling. doug, he's had a couple of those this year that make you really scratch your head on fourth downs. he wants to go for it. he goes against conventional wisdom. he has to improve on that and i think he will. we're calling into question those plays because they didn't

get them. if they got them, they go for the win the week before. if they get it, we're like look at the energy, look at how bold he is for doing this. >> i 100 percent agree. on top of that, they're not going to the playoffs. these are things where you're saying, you know what, who cares. he's been coaching this way since week one. that's the problem. he won't change his ways and i think there's a time where you have to kick the goal and get the points in the nfl. i think some of those plays are just go for it and see what the situation is. see what the heart is. fourth and whatever on the one yard line. listen, go for it. what are we kicking the field goal for? the season is over. do we get kind of a look at what the team may look like if he was there all season. >> absolutely. he was one of the best tackles in the game before he got

suspended. the 40-yard touchdown pass you see lane johnson giving carson wentz an extra. i think ultimately this season took a turn when they lost lane johnson. it's all in the record, they're 4 and 1 with lane johnson, 2 and 8 without him. at the same time it's a ripple effect. look at what happens every other spot. all of a united states sen, everyone is in position. this he know what they have to on. they know who to trust and it's as simple as that. people work best when they're in their original position. with lane out, they're out of position. even with play calling he tried to do some of the play calls, but he was getting blown up because everyone wasn't in their spot. we have the grammies music roling in the background to wrap us up. we got more coming up game day live at 10:00. we'll break it all down. we'll look ahead to the final game in the off season, outlook.

we'll be right back.

i want to go really big with my appetizers. we can do it without blowing our budget. oh yeah, this is great! everything for the holidays. that's my giant.

he's got to track santa for reel. mike, we got snow, the poconos, blue mountain and two people up this morning saying i'm going to go ahead and get my sky on. i have friends on their way up there. vermont, some really good skiing. this is what we have this morning, a whole lot of wet streets. a chilly 40 with these winds coming out of the westerly direction and that has kept us feeling pretty cool. a big storm out to the west. this is noteworthy because if you're traveling west, santa will be out west and blizzard warnings, winter weather advisories, a lot going on. we'll be watching the rain, pushing off towards the east. i hope that's not the duck that dropped because we're going to eat that still. after 2:00, rain is done. it's wet and nasty right now, but the rain is going to push off the coast. so around 2, 3:00 things are going to improve of and believe it or not by later tonight it

will turn partly cloudy and that will get us cool. 41 in the poke toes, middle 30s as you get into the jersey side of things. there's in the a lot of artic air across the region except across the northern planes. we'll start to see our temperatures moderate into the 50s as we segue into next week. forecast today into the 30s and middle 40s in town and they will climb in the overnight hours before we drop down to the 30s. otherwise looking at partly cloudy skies. here's the most accurate seven day forecast and christmas day is going to be mild with a temperature close to 50-degrees. sun and clouds, 50 on monday, showers and mild, 55 on tuesday and then the next threat for some wet weather by thursday. we'll be right back.
