MIAMI, FLORIDA - JANUARY 15: Joel Embiid #21 of the Philadelphia 76ers is defended by Jimmy Butler #22 of the Miami Heat during the second half at FTX Arena on January 15, 2022 in Miami, Florida.

Some sports just go well with certain holidays. You think Thanksgiving, you think of Football. On July 4th you think of Baseball. New Years you think of Hockey. And then on Christmas, you think of Basketball. And this Christmas, Sixers fans will get an extra treat, when the Sixers take on the Heat in the second game of the day.

Here is the Full NBA Schedule On Christmas Day:

Game 1: Bucks at Knicks

Game 2: Sizers at Heat

Game 3: Celtics at Lakers

Game 4: Mavericks at Suns

Game 5: Warriors at Nuggets

As usual, the Sixers will be on the road for Christmas. That will be the case as long as the Sixers are tenants at The Wells Fargo Center because that time of the year is reserved for Disney on Ice. But for the 2nd year in a row, they will be playing on Christmas Day. Last year they gave Sixers fans a present in the form of a 119-112 victory.  And this year, the Sixers will be celebrating Christmas in South Beach when they face the reigning Eastern Conference Champions Heat.

The second game of the day is usually played at 2:30. But the NBA will have some competition for sports fans’ eyes on Christmas this year. There are also 3 NFL games being played on Christmas this year. Including the Eagles taking on the Giants at 4:30 at the Linc. So barring overtime in the Sixers game, Philly fans should be able to go right from watching the Sixers to watching the Eagles. A great Christmas if you are a Philly Sports fan.

We will all have to protect our remote closely though. Everyone has that one family member who loves to either turn the volume down or who wants to turn either Christmas movies or music on instead.

The Best Show Ever is asking for your help to get teachers the supplies they need for the upcoming school year:

The Teachers Of The Delaware Valley Need Our Help

As the ’23-’24 school year approaches, thousands of teachers in the Delaware Valley will face the annual struggle of securing supplies for their classrooms. It’s not uncommon for them to spend a fair amount of their own money on basic supplies. Things like pencils, markers, whiteboards, and notebooks. The things we would all think of as essentials for a functioning classroom.

According to a 2021 survey published in Yahoo Finance!, teachers spend about $750 on average every year on classroom supplies. Much of that cost comes to help kick off the school year. And the prices of these supplies continue to go up, while teacher salaries stay the same.

We’d like to ease the burden with your help. We asked our Fanatic listeners who are teachers to submit a wish list so we could help them start the year off strong. But we could use your help making sure each of them get the supplies they need. Every little bit can help. Even if you can just help them buy one item for $1, we appreciate any support you can give.

Check out the list of Fanatic listeners/teachers below who have each submitted a Wish List filled with basic teaching necessities.
