Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's from your loyal fans in Canada!eh
Your talk show is the best and don't anybody tell you different.
Hi Ellen,
Thank you so much for your GREAT show. I LOVE it so positive and smiley!!! I have been ill for the last 2 years, and not able to work, so somtimes it's you, me and my 2 dogs, ADA and Cheech. Two georgeous Labs, my son is in the Air Force and I took Cheech because my son couldn't take care of him any more and ADA came last year so they are my kids...
My son ordered me "Don't watch the news and don't watch Oprah... So thanks for helping me keep my word to him.
Merry Christmas, Ho Ho Ho!

I KNOW I HAVE A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR. BUT I STILL AM VERY SAD . THIS IS NOT A NOTE TO MAKE ANYONE FEEL SORRY FOR ME. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW. THAT WHEN YOUR SHOW IS ON YOU MAKE ME SMILE!! SOMETIME I WISH I COULD BE LIKE YOU. SMART,FUN-LOVING AND HAPPY!!!MAYBE SOMEDAY! OH! I AM 49 YEARS OLD. AND HAVE A WONDERFUL FIANCE`. THANK-YOU FOR READING. KEEP MAKING ME AND EVERYONE ELSE "SMILE". YOUR A GOOD PERSON IN MY EYES!! THANKS, AGAIN....... SHERRY W. HILL
Hi Ellen
You crack me up everyday! I always looks forward to having a smile put on my face by you all the way up here in Sydney Nova Scotia.
You do so much for people and special causes, it's terrific. This Xmas we have a small tree here at work that has paper bulbs put on it with items that underpriviledged kids are asking for Xmas. We all take one, two or three of these bulbs and purchase the special gift for that child. It's a great way to give at Xmas and especially to give a gift that a child is asking for!The sad thing is that some of the kids are just asking for socks, slippers or PJ's. We make sure they get extra though. The gifts are gathered up and taken in to the local resource center and distributed to the kids. Thought I would share this idea with you and maybe other places will start a tree at their work. Have a Merry Xmas and keep putting on a great uplifting show!
Hi Ellen,
I love you and your show dearly. I live in Australia and watch you Daily at 12 Noon. Your style and laughter is your own and endearing to everyone. The warmth and love that you express from your eyes cheers me up and i am sure many more. May you and Portia live a very happy, loving and content life together. And may you show and career continue for as long as you desire. Merry Xmas and a Prosperous New Year.
All our love
from Australia

Hi Ellen,
Just wanted to let you know that we LOVE you here in our house. We were in Fort Irwin, CA by Barstow, for a year and a half, I really wanted to go and see you while my husband was deployed to Iraq in 2005, but I didn't have daycare and now we're all the way in GA. I watch you everyday and can't get enough. I believe that all of your efforts to get George to come over will work...Eventually. He strikes me as a fan of old cars, and collectable mortorcycles, I bet if you tried something like that it would get his attention. Cuz ya see women everyday, well you know what I mean. But I know you're busy, so Thanks for all the laughs and smiles. Tell Portia hi and we love her too.
Ellen
I take care of my mother everyday from 7 o'clock AM until 8 o'clock PM everyday. My mother has
dementia. I try to watch your show everyday. It really helps me get through some difficult days. I have always loved your humor. You do such nice things for others. You will be blessed. I love when you have children on your show. I am a retired first grade teacher. Just think they made me laugh for thirty years. George grew up around Cincinnati. Keep trying to get George on your show.
Hi Ellen,
I watch your show every day and I think you are teriffic, no matter how down I may be you always make me laugh and I want to thank you for that, I have been figthing cancer for a long time and some times I just want to give up but then I look at you show and start laughing and I forget all my problems. Thanks again for making me laugh.
Happy Holidays.
hey ellen i think your show is going well, you got those dance moves workout it keeps us on our toes. u have a merry christmas and the best of the New Year.
heya :)
my name is chantelle and i im from the small country of new zealand lol
such a blessing to have a person like you on t.v! lol ur such an amazing person ellen! many blessing to you and portia! love watching ur show... much love and respect :P
love me :P
Ellen you are fantastic! I've been watching your show for quite some time now, and have actively watch your other shows in the past also! Brian Williams was a hoot!!! and I've always like James Spader. If your friend, Clyde has been abducted by aliens twice, so why do they keep sending him back? Are they trying to get you on their show? I remember George Clooney (be still my heart!) guest starring on a "Murder She Wrote" series. I have a great idea for a George Clooney game. Make several large cardboard cut-outs of him and dress them up like a paper doll, and place him in different places. You know in the costumes he has used for his past movies. Then ask an audience member to locate him, via a map, and bring him back or pose for a digital camera photo. They also have to answer the question,"What movie was this?" A gift for participating would be nice.Have a great funny, peaceful and loving Christmas with your love, Portia, and the rest of your family and friends. Merry Christmas Marcia Shaffer-Sitko.

Hi Ellen,
I just recently started watching your show and absolutely love it! I think of all the people i know, you and my 2 year old son dance more than anyone. I had a baby girl back in Aug and things are wonderful...except for the fact that because I was on maternity leave for a while due to some complications my job was given away. Now I'm pretty much staying at home with my kids while my husband works and tries to pay the bills. I know this christmas will probably be one of the hardest yet. I was your 12 days of christmas on the show and think it is absolutely wonderful that you have offered for those of us at home to try and be a part of that. Anyhow just wanted to say how much i am enjoying your show and can't wait to watch every day! Hope you have a merry Christmas and Awesome New Year..your friend from Tennessee....Melissa

Ellen!
I played the clarinet.. I was second chair! I played clarinet in marching band and in the pitt orchestra for "Kiss Me Kate". I played the base clarinet.. 1st chair in concert band. I played the synthesizer in jazz band and during my highschool graduation ceremony. The school wasn't going to let us play but we won that battle! Clarinet was my main instrument. It was fun playing at basketball and football games. Fight song, wipe out(we had an excellent drum player for that!!!),etc... Loved it. band will always be a fond memory! Marching in parades. We did line formations on the field at football half time too!!!
I like the sax..tenor sax, trumpet, drums. All very cool. Band was the best. A lot of schools cut funds from the band departments. Not right.
Love Rainn. in The Office. His character weirds me out a lot though. ... his farm. hotel thing going on...scary.
Tonight my other fave show is on! "The Big Bang Theory" That's the best show! I like it a lot! I think its going to take off soon!!!! I don't think many people know about it. Its filmed right around the corner from your lot there at WB! But you probably already know that:)
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Share
