We are so glad theyre back with us. Our cooking twins. Well be back in a little bit with you guys. We also have an actress who grew up in the glare of hollywood cameras. Now billy lord is going to sit down with us in a little bit. She likes those earmuffs. Thats kinds of her signature. Im noticing a similarity, like mama, like daughter. Yeah. Plus twotime grammy winners pe pentatonics would have grammys, sung with dolly parton. Do you remember where they started . Right here, baby. Their First National performance was with us. Were always so proud of that. Then whats better than a gorgeous man cooking for you . Two of them. Yes, the alberte twins will be with us. How cute. One of them is sugar and one of thems spice. You decide. What are you guys going to make for us today . Christmas desserts. Just keep talking. Festive. I have no idea what you say. Why cant i understand your brother and not you. I dont know, weird. All right. Well reveal pinterests top trends of 2017. So i thought i was losing my mind when i was looking at this this morning, penta tonics and pinterest on the same show today. We have the riddle. We want to say great congratulations, dont we, to one of our dear producers, ally berger. Ally is an amazing human being and even better mother. She has a beautiful baby girl this morning. Congrats to dad. Some boxing fans may know him as kid chocolate. The babys name is valencia coridad quillen and shes got a little 2yearold big brother named joaquin, who we love. If youre looking at that saying, wait, why doesnt he have a shirt on . Is that what youre thinking right now . We should let you know that there is, as a lot of new moms and dads know, theres a skintoskin thing that happens right after a baby is born to promote bonding and that is a result of that. So he was holding his new little daughter. Congrats, ally, we love you. Enjoy your time together. All right, theres another couple in town today too. It is Lionel Ritchie and mariah carey. Can you imagine, your head explodes right now. So theyre going to do a 35city tour. Its called Lionel Ritchie all the hits with very special guest mariah carey. So its Lionel Ritchie, big, with mariah carey. Yeah. So you wonder if theyre coheadliners, so that means shes probably going to join in partway through. Yeah, it will be fun. And beyonce came to see mariah here in new york this week. Posted on instagram. She was there with her daughter and some friends. First of all, if you were at this concert, can you imagine looking over and going the two divas are together and with all their children. Weve got mariahs twins, blue ivy with the fan and some other child just there they are. Some lucky kid. A friend of blue ivys. We love neil patrick harris. Hes got a 6yearold, hes got twins, but his son wrote his christmas list to santa. Neil shared it. His son wants two things. A bounce house and a lifesize rocket ship. Those are the two things. We dont know what harper wants. But its so cute, theres something about seeing it written out, you know, just that way. But if you guys have kids and they have written letters to santa and you take a picture before you send it off. Before you mail it. Wed love to see it. We might show it on the air, because i know kids love a lot of different things. So that would be cute to see. And also our facebook fans, pets wish us happy holidays so we want to thank facebook fan jackie hurtig henry for sending in this picture. She wrote we just wanted to wish you happy hannukah and Merry Christmas from our family to yours, love barny, bella and baby bailey who is our hannukah princess. Look at bailey in the middle. Omg. Yes. We do want to see those letters, though, so if you can snap a quick pic and send it to us. So i did a story with some young kids writing letters to santa and santas elves were helping fulfill those dreams. When i read some of these letters some of these kids had written on the radio . Were going to air the piece on friday but we did it already. I was looking at these letters and all you want to do is like theres so much need out there, and it just struck me. Theres something about seeing penmanship just looking at that little handwriting that makes you want to everybody uses computer now too. Its something so intimate and personal about it. What did you ask for when you were a little kid . What was the big gift . I was very entrepreneurial. I wanted it was called the corner store. What . Thats all i wanted. I remember, isnt that funny, you remember. It was cardboard and it was in the shape of a corner. And youre supposed to probably use it inside your house. I put it up on our corner and really opened a store. You did . How old were you about . Well, we moved to maryland when i was 5 or 6, so probably 7. Oh, my gosh. And then i wanted every Barbra Streisand and beatle cd. They werent cds, they were records. Did you want instruments . I wanted a guitar and i loved learning the guitar. I was playing the guitar until my mother backed out of the driveway and over my guitar. And smashed it flight. Into smitherines. What did you want . I wanted a trumpet. Im not musical but i remember my parents got me this plastic trumpet and i loved it. It was like i couldnt believe it was under the tree. The kind you play or you press something and it plays something. No, no, no, you play it. You blow into it. I remember thinking i was a real musician. Whatever. So sad, so sad. You just moved in with joel so maybe youre not experiencing this, but in the month of december are you guys married or do you have girlfriends or boyfriends . Girlfriends.

So heres why. They say couples are spending more time together during the holidays. They end up getting more stressed. There are always Financial Issues during the holiday.
