Video_of_the_day_12days_1217.. Outstanding :)

Hey Ellen,

Just showing your christmas stuff even from 2009 Tori Niehus did not have her kids and if she lived with her mom its because she refuses to work. Please everyone do not help her out!! She uses people and will drain them of money and move on to someone else after she drains their money.

Ellen:

I was looking at the lists of at-home winners for the twelve days, and there are peoples names twice within the same day? So in reality, there is more like 20 winners because there are duplicates?

Just saying.....

Hello Ellen,
Just wanted to say hi and wish you a very Merry Christmas. I am a struggling single mom of 2, and have been most if not all of my daughters life since she was born, 21 yrs ago. I also have a son who just turned 13 last month. I am writing you to thank you for all you do for your viewers and audiences. It has been a dream of mine to be able to make it to your show in my life time, but things have not been so good lately. I thought in May of 2008 things couldn't be better. But with the economy the way it is I have fallen behind on my mortgage and car payments. I do have a decent job but things have gotten away from me, now I am on the verge of loosing everything I have worked so hard for to make sure my kids had a secure place to live. And quite frankly it scares me to death thinking I am gonna loose my home and put my kids out in the streets. I have never been more afraid of anything in my life before for I do everything for my kinds. They are my life and the thought of doing that to them makes me feel like a failure.... That I couldn't even keep a warm place & home for them. I have struggled all my life with being a single parent. Lost my parents when they were at a young age. I really have no one to rely on and I am the only person for my kids to rely on... If there is a way you could even help me out and help me save my home for my kinds I would be in your debt for life.. I don't even know if I am even making sense of any of this but hey what can a worthless mom say that would even make sense.

Best wishes
cindy

Dear Ellen,
My 16 year old son and I watch your show every day. You make us laugh so much!! I love to watch you dance and the audience members,too.I am writing on behalf of my son.I got laid off a couple moths ago with promise to go back in the near future with the way the economy is here.Jobs are really hard to find, and if you find one, they are too far away for my car to make it.I hope there is a Santa out there that can help me get presents for my son this year.(He still believes in him!). Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate you and your show. I've watched you from the very first episode and will continute to watch every day. I've entered your contest daily,but haven't seen my name yet.Maybe next year. Love Ya, Jeanette

I have been signing in a day late all week guess I get up too early and do all my emails and such
Lesson learned I will pay closer attention next time.

Dear Ellen and Portia hope you have a very happy holiday, We watch your show every day,You make us laugh in this time that we need a good laugh to keep up our sprits. I have lost my job due to the economy and now my husband is layed off for the next two weeks, We cannot afford to get our kids anything this year, Its very sad I feel soo bad that I cant afford gifts this year, I even had to break the news about there not being a Santa to my youngest son, just because i dont want him to think he was bad and Santa passed him by. I cry myself to sleep every night knowing there will be 2 gifts under the tree. it is all i can afford to do, my hubby works a 40 hour a week job for 9 dollers per hour and due to the economy here in Upper michigan, he puts in 32 hours a week with two weeks off layoff per month . please if you could find room in your heart for us it would so make things seem a little brighter this year.. Thank you so much for being there evryday for us so we can laugh a little and forget the pain we feel everyday... living in hardship in the U.P. Roberta Bennett .
