Likewise, when our beloved boys set foot on the hallowed gridiron, we would never indulge in the "tush push." The game of football is about handing off the pigskin to the halfback and hitting the A gap made by the big hogs in the trenches. It's not about having a thousand pounds of man flesh get behind you and push you straight forward through everything in front of you, and you're carrying the ball, and then you get the yards.

When the Romans pushed over the Alps 2,000 years ago into the area between Lörrach on Germany's southern border with Switzerland, and Pforzheim to the north, they named the moody glades of deciduous trees and firs the silva nigra: the black forest. In many ways, though, the Schwarzwald, as the Germans call it, isn't dark at all. Guests on the terrace of the Romantik Hotel Spielweg in the Southern Black Forest gaze up at the white vapour trails left by planes crisscrossing

I explained that by letting her believe in Santa all these years, I had helped her enjoy the holidays even more. I told her it was a responsibility shared by all older kids and adults worldwide - to never break the illusion, so younger children could experience that same magic. And now that she was old enough to know the truth, she was also old enough to carry that responsibility.

Like elsewhere in the world, New Year's resolutions in Germany are a bit like astrology, in the sense that some people take this very seriously, while others might be sarcastic about the whole concept but in the end, it's a great topic for small talk, as everyone has their own very special opinion on the matter. Most people know, of course, that it's also part of the tradition to abandon any New Year's self-improvement plan within the first weeks of January.

Since 1990, Murray Horwitz and the late Susan Stamberg have been celebrating Hanukkah with stories about family, faith, friendship and community. This year, to honor Susan's memory, we reflect on her 34 years of performances that can still move us, make us laugh and bring us fresh meaning plus one new story to fill this festival of lights with gratitude. A Jewish girl with a loud voice is chosen to narrate her school's Christmas pageant.

This has been nearly a lifelong tradition for the native of Linda Vista, starting in 2005 when he was 8 years old and UCLA romped over Oregon State. When he got his driver's license in 2012, Niderhaus started throwing his own tailgates, bringing chicken-in-a-biscuit crackers because he couldn't afford fancier fare. He was back Saturday afternoon underneath a tent on the grass in Lot H, wearing his favorite No. 2 Eric McNeal jersey,

Every week in my psychology practice, I meet people from around the world who share stories marked by loss, hope, fear, love, displacement, and resilience. Listening to them has deepened my understanding of how culture and tradition influence identity, relationships, and a sense of belonging. Yet I also see how these very foundations can be used to justify war, leaving individuals and families caught in an impossible dilemma: whether to uphold

Each year, the new Lord Mayor of London is sworn into office in a ceremony as rich in pomp as it is ancient in history, and in total silence. For over 800 years, on Michaelmas Day, the City of London's liverymen elect a new Lord Mayor for the year ahead, culminating in the Silent Ceremony weeks later.

Every year, my family takes a 14-hour road trip from our home base in Utah to a house in Netarts Bay, Oregon. Though it's just an Airbnb rental, it's become our home away from home. I stumbled upon it four years ago and loved that it faced the bay, had a beautiful wrap-around porch, and was the perfect size for our growing family.
