Santa better whip out his wallet in Philly

Santa Claus is coming to town, and he better bring a big, fat wallet because Philadelphians are spending less on holiday gifts than in years past. Why it matters: Making kids and adults happy this time of year isn't cheap. Driving the news: Philadelphia shoppers are projected to spend $1,484 this year, down from $1,777 in 2024, per Deloitte's holiday retail survey . That's less than the national spending average ($1,654), which is increasingly being driven by millennial and Gen Z shoppers. 77% of those surveyed are expecting higher prices. The big picture: Philly shoppers are buying holiday gifts earlier in the year , with 23% of those surveyed saying they'll have already blown through their holiday budgets by October. Black Friday is still expected to be the city's biggest spending day, with many shoppers preferring to hunt for deals in person rather than online. How it works: Deloitte surveyed 413 Philadelphians between late August and mid-September, with a margin of error of ±5 percentage points. The intrigue: Despite scaling back spending, 46% of Philadelphians expect the economy to remain the same or improve in the next year, up from 41% in 2025. Zoom in: More Philadelphians are spending on

5100 Lancaster Ave. — Approximate Site of Proposed 45-Unit Building.

Army-Navy game moved up a week starting in 2027 to avoid expanded College Football Playoff conflict

The Army-Navy game , which features one of the most storied rivalries in college football, will be played one week earlier in the season starting next year to avoid conflicts with the expanded College Football Playoff . The change was announced Monday after the CFP said it would double in size from 12 to 24 teams next season. The 128th edition of Army-Navy is now set to take place in Philadelphia on Saturday, Dec. 4, 2027, instead of Dec. 11. “As long as the integrity of that game and exclusive rights for that window are good for us, I’m good with it,” Navy coach Brian Newberry said on a video call with reporters. “Everybody knows how important that game is. But to maintain that exclusive window, to honor that game the way it should be honored, I’m really pleased with that.” Army-Navy has been a tradition on the second Saturday of December since 2009. Before that, it was on the first Saturday of the month. The rivalry dates to 1890. "It means a lot to college football and to our country," Army coach Jeff Monken said Tuesday. "I’m just curious to see how it goes as we move forward. Will
