My decorations are up two months before Christmas

With Halloween just days away, it is no surprise to see people's houses covered in fake cobwebs and guarded by ghoulish creatures. But Becky Evans, from Suffolk, is bucking the scary and spooky trend in favour of celebrating an altogether different holiday two months early. "I am Christmas crazy. I love what it's about - the build-up, how it makes you feel, and I actually start [around] 100 days before Christmas, so the decks are up," said the 48-year-old from Felixstowe. "It is in full swing, with shopping, decorations, lights and films – it's never too early." One of three trees Evans is putting up inside her home this Christmas sits in the living room [Becky Evans / BeckyHomeSweetHomeAccount] Evans, who joked she lived with her "poor husband" and two children, started the trend of putting up her Christmas decorations early about eight years ago. She set up a social media page with…

No. 22 Arizona, No. 13 Texas Tech square off in key Big 12 clash

A key conference game will be on tap when No. 22 Arizona faces No. 13 Texas Tech in a Big 12 contest on Saturday afternoon in Lubbock, Texas. The Wildcats (6-1, 3-1) and Red Raiders (6-1, 3-1) are among four teams tied for second place in the league, a game behind Utah. Texas Tech won the Big 12 in 2025 and advanced to the College Football Playoff quarterfinals, losing to Oregon. This season, the Red Raiders are coming off their first loss, 37-24 at Cincinnati last Saturday. "Go 1-0 and you control everything," Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said. "This is an extremely competitive conference." Arizona has won five games in a row, most recently a 39-3 drubbing at home against Iowa State last Saturday. The Wildcats have locked up bowl eligibility in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2014-15 and have back-to-back years with a five-game winning streak for the first time since…

‘I better give you advice on what it takes to be a teacher’

Well, you decided to go into teacher training. I guess this means I’m your favourite parent – after all, I inspired you to become an English teacher like me. Looking back to when you and your younger sister played teacher, I think I better give you some advice, or at least let you in on some secrets, on what it really takes to be a secondary schoolteacher. You have to know and love your subject. This is a basic requirement. How can you teach something that you don’t love? With this comes the understanding that you are an expert in that subject. Don’t forget that you have a degree in English. Read widely. Reading books, watching films, going to plays, is now considered “work”, so don’t listen to anyone who says you don’t work during your time off. Pedagogy, how you teach, and classroom management happen at the same time. We all teach in our own idiosyncratic ways. It’ll take you years to…

Kansas City Chiefs Mock Trades: Simulating every wide receiver trade Brett Veach could pull the trigger on before the NFL's deadline

The Kansas City Chiefs are calling around about wide receiver help before the Nov. 10 trade deadline. We ran 10 mock trades through the A to Z Sports NFL Trade Simulator, from bargain moves to blockbusters. The Kansas City Chiefs are calling around for wide receiver help, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The NFL trade deadline arrives Nov. 10, and Kansas City is without its top wide receiver, Tyquan Thornton, who landed on injured reserve with a dislocated ankle. Rashee Rice has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. He could return as early as Week 8 against the Denver Broncos. Even so, the Chiefs clearly lack the pass-catching wide receiver talent they need to compete at the highest level. That became obvious when they ran into the buzzsaw that is the Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 7. Jeudy is a strong option because Chiefs wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea coached him to…
