Some people have asked how we put out an edition of The Times Dispatch on the day after Christmas, so I'll explain. Most of our pages were completed on Friday, Dec. 21.

A few pages were held until Monday, Dec. 24, including the front page, front jump page, the obituary page and the editorial page that you are now reading.
