 A Message from Ellen (January 07 - 11 / 2008) |  Happy New Year!
2008 is so fresh and clean and, wait a minute, (sniff) it still has that New Year smell. I hope you had happy holidays. That's what holidays were invented for -- happiness. I'm not sure what the first holiday was, but I bet even then, people had fun decorating the cave and putting lights and ornaments on the Christmas rock as they grunted out their favorite carols. I bet that the first New Year probably wasn't that much of a big deal since everybody was still getting used to the whole "time" thing, but I'm sure that by the time the second year rolled around, everybody was ready to celebrate in Times Square.

| A Message from Ellen (December 17 - December 21 / 2007) | Wouldn't it be great if the holidays and the holiday spirit lasted year round? But then, I guess it wouldn't be as special as it is when it's just once a year. Plus, we'd all go broke having to buy presents over and over again. We'd have to permanently plant a tree in our living rooms. It's probably a good thing that we only have egg nog once a year. Once a year, it's kind of a treat. Egg nog on a hot summer day? Maybe not.

| A Message from Ellen (December 10 - December 14 / 2007) | I've got it. Do you have it? I've officially got the Christmas spirit! It helps that the weather has been a little chilly. You can smell chimney smoke in the air at night. They should make "chimney smoke on a cool night" potpourri. It's magical. You know what else is magical? Giving. Sometimes I think I'm one of the luckiest people in the world because every year at this time I get to give away thousands of gifts. I kinda know how Santa feels, or Scrooge after he wakes up from those ghosts. We kicked off my 12 Days Of Giveaways and so far, so great! Did you meet "Big Package?" He's a little square, but he's very sweet and he loves to dance like me. You should see the piles of gifts the elves have stacked up in the gift barn in the back, and they're just going to keep getting better and better.
I got a little gift myself this week. I got to talk to Jenna Bush's dad. I think we caught him off guard. He was probably relaxing after a hard day of work, and I interrupted him and Laura while they were in the middle of Guitar Hero 3. Vanessa Williams was a lot of fun, and so were newlyweds Michelle and John Brubaker. Maybe one of the best wedding dances ever. Did you see 9 year-old Carl Brown Jr., and 8 year-old Davis Soots? Carl saved Davis' life by giving him the Heimlich maneuver. What a great story. I'm really lucky to have some of the most incredible kids on my show like the amazingly talented Anthony Gargiula. He's like Clay Aiken in an 8 year-old's body. It was great having Paula Deen back for the holidays. How about that chocolate cheese fudge?

| A Message from Ellen (December 03 - December 07 / 2007) | I am looking forward to the holidays. I find the looking forward part way more fun than the looking back part. Like Carly Simon sang, anticipation, anticip-a-a-tion, is keepin' me way-a-ai-tin'. There's this ball of excitement I can feel inside me. Even though the holidays are over commercialized, I still can't help getting that same tingly feeling I've had around the holidays since I was little. Nothing against looking back. I look back all the time. Especially when I'm backing out of my driveway. Remember last week? Boy those were the days. It was a simpler time when everybody knew each other's names and you could borrow a cup of sugar from your neighbor. (My neighbor moved away this week, so no more sugar for me.) Remember Darius Weems and Logan Smalley and the story of their amazing friendship? Remember kid inventor Derek Martinez' helpful review of this year's toys and his 1 to 1000 "Fond Of Meter"? I can still recall the week that I had Tom Brokaw, Paris Hilton, Anderson Cooper and Howie Mandel. Who could forget Howie's modeling advice? We had the bachelorette who got dumped and the bachelor who dumped her. We even tested Miss Puerto Rico, Ingrid Marie Rivera, to see how much abuse she could take while walking the runway. ( I wonder what she thought when she saw that bottle coming at her head?) I had a blast with Rocco DiSpirito. His recipes are so simple, I think that even I could cook them.

| A Message from Ellen (November 26 - November 30 / 2007) | Hi. Did you give thanks last week? Giving thanks is much better than taking thanks. It's rude not to accept a thank you, but I recommend re-gifting it. I gave thanks for all of you who have been so supportive over these last 5 years. I can't believe that we've done over 700 shows already. It was hard fitting all the fun we've had in just 1 anniversary show.
