Love Your outlook on life. ALL THE BEST WISHES. Marion

hey

At the end of a busy day at work and the kids in school, one in middle school and one in high school, we all get into my bed and watch your show together. There are not many things teenagers want to do with their mom, but your show brings us together for at least one hour every night. Thank you for your fun and laughter.

hi Ellen I am just 9 years old and i love the gifts you gave out in 12 days of giveaways. My most favorite was the wii it was so cool!! Well have to go go love ya!

I want you to knoe the my 3 year old knows the music to your show within the first minute! He comes in the living room hollaring "Momma DANCE!" He is too funny. You brighten my day everyday! Keep up the good work!

Ellen I seen your 12 days of christmas it was wonderful I love to see people happy @ christmas I just cried like a baby. Well here is a early
HAPPY BIRTHDAY all the way from Canada.I hope the angels watch over you always take care.

these are my two favorite people in the world on T.V.!! Hey Ya, all!!!

Hi Ellen,
Happy Holidays! I think your show is wonderful. I really enjoy watching you. I've been working some things on my life list but I still haven't met Sandra Bullock, maybe you could have her on your show again soon. She was such an entertaining guest the last time! I also like your shopping excursions....they are quite the trips to watch. Maybe on the next one you should take Gladys with you! Thanks for the memories.....you're great!!!!!

Hey Ellen!
I love you and your show so much! I have been watching you for a few years now and I'm and about to go into college and with everything going on i get really stressed out. Watching you makes me laugh hysterically and that relieves some of the stress so thanks! Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year!
Love, Kristina

Hey, Ellen!
I try to catch your show everyday, and I've really enjoyed this week's guests.
My favorite was Monday's show, with Jane Seymour. She is so awesome, and incredibly talented, in so many different ways! You and she really seem to hit it off, and as a "budding artist," you could really benefit from attending one of her painting parties. I'm sure you'd enjoy it, and if you could take a camera crew with you, we could all enjoy watching you paint with Jane! Awesome idea, don't you think?
Have a great Christmas, and a wonderful 2008!

Ellen
When are you going to reveal who big package is. I thought it was today but if you did I didn't see it. I tivo you everyday since I'm at work when you air in the east.

Hi Ellen,

You are so inspirational to me and I love you so much!! Happy Holidays to you and Porsia and to mama.

Ellen,

I watch your show everyday. I can't even think about getting my day off to a greater start than tuning in to your opening introduction bit.

Thank you for being so kind to all people.

You are one of the last of a dying breed of people who are not consumed by greed and only act out of love.

Love you so much and Striker is HOT!

Hi Ellen

I have just finished watching your Day 7 giveaways of the Twelve Days of Giveaways. I live in Invercargill, New Zealand and we are a few days behind. What an amazingly generous and giving person you are. Keep up the fantastic job you are doing. I love watching your show and look forward to it continuing next year. All the best to you and Portia for the Festive season and safe and happy travels. Thanx again.

Blessings!!

Merry Christmas Ellen, you make me laugh so hard, when I'm in a bad mood I just turn on your show and you cheer me up. Thanks

Hello Ellen, I think you are just great. Now that I have talked my wife out of watching Crossing Jordan on the east coast at 3:00pm. Have a safe and happy holiday.

Hey Ellen, we love your show I dvr it everyday. i watch in the morning instead of the news. It would be great if my daughter could come celebrate her 16th b-day with you hers is the 24th of jan. you are both celebrating great birthdays.
When are you coming to philly?

I just wanted to say I hope that you and Portia have a Merry Christmas and a Great New Year...I think you are just the BEST...You seem like you are so down to earth and not just on the talk show to make money...You make people laugh, dance, cry and I think it takes a special person to do what you do even though you know that some days are just not your best either...Thanks for all the great shows and I hope you will continue to be on the air an touch lives..

Hey Ellen:

Just sign up AGAIN for 12 days of X-mas. Was bummed to figure out I have to sign up EACH DAY!?! I haven't been on the computer every day, as I am busy changing diapers most of the day in my home day care! Pick me for the Big Winner for all 12 days. I watch you every day, during nap time and between bottles and bottoms!

Ellen:
You are the Sunshine at the end of every day for me. I come home from a 10 hour day at the office, then make dinner for the kids, clean up, make lunch and then finally sit down to relax and watch your show. You just make me laugh and that feels so good. Thank you for being so wonderful! Best wishes for a very healthy happy
holiday season.

Ellen,

My husband doesn't watch much other than sports but he tapes your show everyday! We love your show! You are not only a great star but a wonderful person!

Just from watching u on tv u seem to be a real good person, What i would realy like to see is a show on how to help the homeless at holiday time. Giving gift on tv is all well and good but walking the streets and giving out food would be alot better than people on your show just waiting to see what they can get for free. there are hard times for alot of people please try to help them at this time of year, your a special person God Bless u. Sinerly pistolpkn

Hi Ellen,

Hey Ellen.
Your birthday is the 26th right? Mine is the 27th. Soooo.. if you need someone to be a seat filler let me know. I had a missed call from southern CA. I was so excited. I thought it was you! Turns out it was Doctors Without Borders. Anyways, I watch you every chance I get. My stupid job occasionally gets it in the way. But then I do like to eat so I keep punching in!
Love ya,
Patti

Ellen, Hi Happy Holidays!!!I Love Your Show!!!

You are the best. I watch every chance I get. Best of all, my wife's not jealous.

Ellen- girl you have got it goin' on!! Love to watch you-esp. your dancing-it gets me pumped. I don't get much time to watch your show-between working full-time and going to school full-time with 3 kids and a hubby. Thank God for the hubby-he does all the cooking and some of the cleaning. I am over 40 and don't have much time; but I watch you when I can. You are an inspiration my dear girl. Wish I had your energy-what kind of drugs are you on-can you share! ;) Love ya, Donna Mac from KY

Keep up the good work. You are the best. God bless you.

Hi Ellen, Beleive it or not I love your show. I record it every day and enjoy watching it at 5 a.m. before I go to work. You are way to generous. I wish I could be there, just to meet you. My birthday is also in January. I will be 36 but I feel like 45. I have so many problems with my knees that I can't keep up with my children.
Love your show, Ellen.
