IMPORTANT TO KEEP THIS GOING?
WHY DO AMERICANS NEED THIS
RIGHT NOW?
>> WELL, RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW,
THE ENTIRE NATION NEEDS A
MIRROR.
YOU KNOW, THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF
THE MOST WATCHED PARADES IN THE

NO.
AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE
NEED TO JUST BE ABLE TO ESCAPE
US, FIND SOME WAY TO ESCAPE ALL
THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF
THE PANDEMIC AND ALL THE
NEGATIVE NEWS JUST FOCUS ON
SOMETHING POSITIVE.
PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER TO
BE POSITIVE.
THAT'S WHAT'S SO GOOD ABOUT
THIS.

WE'RE FOCUSING IN ON TOYS FOR
TOTS INITIATIVE FOR THE NATIVE
AMERICAN PROGRAM WHICH IS
REALLY UNBELIEVABLE BECAUSE YOU
KNOW, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
SUFFERING AND SUFFERING
NEEDLESSLY ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
THEY JUST NEED A LITTLE BIT OF
A PICK ME UP.
AND SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
THAT WE TO CONTINUE TO
CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY THE WAY
WE WANT TO.
AND YOU KNOW, WE'VE TALKED
ABOUT IT ON OUR SHOW WITH
FUNDRAISING EFFORTS.
>> THEY'VE BEEN HIT HARD
BECAUSE YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE
UNEMPLOYED OBVIOUSLY BUT THEY
HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THEIR
BIG EVENTS FOR PEOPLE TO BE
ABLE TO GIVE.
BUT THIS WAY YOU STILL CAN
WRITE I'LL ACTUALLY COME OUT
WITH TOYS FOR TOTS.
>> YOU CAN WRAP UP A TOY FROM
LAST YEAR YOUR CHILD STAR AND I
WISH YOU COULD WRAP UP, YOU
KNOW, TOYS FROM THREE YEARS.
LOOK IN THAT CLOSET.
THE TOYS THAT YOUR CHILDREN
AREN'T USING ARE TOYS AND
ANOTHER CHILD WOULD REALLY
APPRECIATE SENDING IN THE TOYS
FOR TOTS.
THEY LOVE TO GET TOYS.
SO THEY COULD SPREAD THE LOVE
THROUGHOUT THE CHRISTMAS
HOLIDAY.
AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IT'S
JUST A MATTER OF BEING ABLE TO
LOOK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR AND LOOK
TO THE LOVED ONE OF YOUR HOME
BY YOUR WATCH AND SAY MERRY
CHRISTMAS.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT'S
BEEN LIKE OUTSIDE.
LET'S ENJOY THIS RIGHT NOW.
ENJOY.

SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAY AND I'M A
KICK BACK WITH A NICE CUP OF
HOT CHOCOLATE.
