What you need to know before you brave the mall today. Love your selfie. Capturing the beauty of women of all shapes and sizes. But first these messages. Suffering from the flu is a really big deal. With aches, fever and chills theres no such thing as a little flu. So why treat it like its a little cold . Theres something that works differently than overthecounter remedies. Attack the flu virus at its source with prescription tamiflu. And call your doctor right away. Tamiflu is fda approved to treat the flu in people 2 weeks and older whose flu symptoms started within the last two days. Before taking tamiflu tell your doctor if youre pregnant, nursing, have Serious Health conditions, or take other medicines. If you develop an allergic reaction, a severe rash, or signs of unusual behavior stop taking tamiflu and call your doctor immediately. Children and adolescents in particular may be at an increased risk of seizures confusion or abnormal behavior. The most common side effects are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. Ask your doctor about tamiflu and attack the flu virus at its source. [ kevin ] this is connolly cameron, zach, and clementine. We have a serious hairball issue.

So first up a lot of people talking about this. President obama breaking one of his cardinal rules. He has said president s should never put things on their heads because its never a good look. Even last year the president refused to wear a helmet given to him by the Navy Football team. All of that changed in an instant when the president met a couple of persuasive young girl scouts. Convinced him to wear the tiara for this post posted by the white house. The president caved to the girl scout lobby. Made that same decision to cave . Tea parties. He has two daughters. President obama can probably relate to dads and what theyll do pretty much anything for their daughters. Remember that viral Photo Holding one daughter in a baby bjorn while braiding the others . The guys get an a for effort. Im here for papa to do my hair in a braid. Its hard to do her hair. She has so much hair. Do you think i do good braids nora . No. A really simple hairstyle. So im hoping he can do that one. Are you nervous about this dad, doing your daughters hair for the first time and im finally growing up . No i cant stop that. If i mess this up, youre going to be mad, right . Yes. I do know how to braid but i havent done it since i was 7 . Yeah like 8. We made your braids. I like them. You do . Yes. Can you see it . I love it dad, youre the best hairstylist boy i ever met i probably messed it up huh . Yes, you did. The results were a bit mixed but the girls seemed to at least appreciate. The first two werent bad. Do you braid . I dont know. Three strands of hair crisscross it. The kids are so honest. You know whatever you get from them is just pure, real so happy, oh, my god, did you it. Their expectations were so low. Its like we still have hair. We didnt pull every strand out. Thanks dad. Its adorable. Now to the most adorable stocking stuffers. Hospitals around the country have this tradition when they put babies born around the holidays into these stockings, making the fleece stockings since 1930. Adorable. Thats a holiday card. Zoom in on your little one. Isnt that cute . This last video needs no special introduction. Its a dog riding a roomba vacuum. Bringing joy, of course to people all over the internet. Take a look.

Awesome. That should replace the yule log. Show that on the tv screen. Thats whats trending. Up next, get in, get out. Your complete guide to conquering all of those holiday returns this year. All right. Let the gift swapping return. Estimated 20 billion in holiday returns will be heading back to stores today, starting today. Theres a lot thats going on. It can be a hassle. We are going to help you out. Good morning. Good morning. I dont want to take the cheer out of the holiday. But thats happening today, people are going back to the store with his returns. Help us help them. Why more return this is year than usual . I think a lot of people have been buying online. They came out with a study, said about 30 of people out there shopping were using their mobile devices. That basically means people are buying stuff online and Online Stores have more return policies than the brick and Mortar Stores. What do i need to be armed with . Be armed with a smile. No one wants to deal with someones angry, annoyed that they have to return something. Receipts and be armed with your i. D. I tend to have receipts all over the place. I take a picture of that receipt. That way thats a good idea. I can send it to someone or ask the merchant to send it to me. I can send it to the person i gave the gift to. Everyone has their own set of policies. Return policies thats what you have to actually look at. Look at your receipt. Thats probably where theyll have that written out. In terms of during the holiday, some stores usually have charge a restocking fee . Yes. Because people are buying a lot of technology they tend to charge restocking fees 15 to 20 . Instead of buyer beware buyer be careful. What youre going to do you want to make sure youre getting the gift that people really want so they dont have to pay those restocking fee. All sales are final . Right. All sales of final. That means people give gifts, buy them on final sale. You cant go back to the store and return them. So unless youre nice right, you may be able to you know talk to that sales person and get that return that merchandise back for store credit. But you probably wont get a refund on that. So tiechlming must play an important part in the process today. Right, right. In terms of timing you want to make sure that you are looking at different merchandise. For technology for example, you want to make sure youre getting that back in in 15 days or less. Why . Basically just that Different Stores have different policies. Apparel, its about two months and then housewares you have about a month to return that. I like to tell people to go to a store right around the morning time because again the salespeople they dont like to deal with angry people. Theyre nicer in the morning versus the afternoon. Salespeople are in a better mood probably in the morning as well. I think so. Youre in a better mood too. Would you recommend to take it back today, tomorrow or wait a couple of weeks . Try to do it within the next couple of days. Look at your receipts. Theyll tell you what the return policy s you dont want to miss that window. Because if you do youre not going to be able to return that. Are there actual stores that you like that have great policies for returning . Oh, yes. L. L. Bean, for example, you can purchase a merchandise from that store have, it for ten years. Wash it, you can return it and get a refund for that. Also do yoga wash the yoga pants, return it without a receipt, theyll give you a refund. No kidding . No kidding. Anything that you got that you should not try to return . Use your best judgment there. Swim suits, underwear, half eaten food. Probably not wanting to return that. Good helpful pointers there. We appreciate it. Lets go over to tamron. Thank you, carson. Now to our ongoing series love your selfie on a mission to get women to love their curves started a Kick Starter Campaign to release a book about the beauty of women of all shapes and sizes. Victoria is here with us along with one of her models. Good morning, ladies. Good to see you. Good to see you. Congratulations on this. You have been a fashion photographer for years. You turned your attention to this special project. What was the moment or was there a moment you said ive got to do this . To be honest with you, i had a model who walked into my studio a friend of a friend very famous and beautiful plussized model. Ive never seen a plus sized model before. I never knew what they looked like. We had a very beautiful photo shoot with bare skin and it was very amazing. And i never had a picture that really touched me so much. We went to the press and i see all the social media response and so many girls who started writing me emails from all over the world saying how this made them feel beautiful as well. And i just thought it was so special. I never thought a job as superficial as photography can actually change somebodys life. And it just made me feel very special. Since then it just started taking more and more and more pictures of curvier women, women of all different shapes and sizes, ages races. How is your goal going on kick starter right now . Its going good. Im hoping well be able to publish the book t means so much to me. It will be a project i would like to get going. Denise youre here considered a, quote, unquote, plussized model. When you hear victoria say that all those years as a fashion photographer and she didnt know or hadnt seen a plussized model, how does that make you feel . Well, i think that its very eye opening. Were at a point in the industry where everything is changing. I remember growing up thats part of what i love about my industry. I didnt realize there was plus sized modeling until i became one. Im not sixfeet tall. Im not a sized two. I never thought there would be an industry for me to fit into. Were all learning pushing boundaries. As a mother its so important to change the perception of beauty sbchlt im so proud to be in the position to do that. Did you have role models or people who gave you the confidence to say, listen theres a type of model were used to but my body is also an image that women should see in fashion magazines . Absolutely. I feel like so many times i felt misrepresented in the media and my mom struggled with her weight growing up. Being a mol theres so much i stand for and believe in. I was told in my acting days if you lose 10, 15 pounds youll be perfect. I didnt want to change who i am to fit into it. Right now i feel all woman. I feel proud i didnt have to alter myself or feel bad about myself. Im proud of who i am and im glad i can show that to women that you can be curvy and absolutely flawless. A couple of people have victoria on your kick starter page wonderful comments. From one woman, as someone who is considered plus size your work is breathtaking seeing women feel as beautiful as they do your photos inspire me more than you can imagine. You have no idea but i get those emails and messages many times a day. That gets me going. To be honest with you, i really dont even care if it gets picked up that much as long as you touch one person it already make it is worthwhile. If one person feels so good about themselves after seeing a woman with a similar body being represented and artistically photographed its already worthwhile. The work is stunningly beautiful. Congratulations. Denise congratulations for you, speaking up for women and showing that beauty comes in all shapes forms and sizes. I love that dress, by the way. Thank you. Thank you both.

What were going to talk about today, the fact that 27,000 americans were prisoners of the japanese during world war ii including louis zamperini. Compared to 1 in the german prisoner of war camps. Of course the germans have the holocaust. So many other extraordinary accounts from that time.

Parsley not just for the look but the flavor. Could you put some salt in there for snus. Will do. This looks fantastic. How simple is this right . Might be dinner tonight for me. Not the one you just cooked. I really will make one at home. We made enough for you to take some home. We go over here. Got some carrot notice oven. Ill help you with that. These are beautiful. Right out of the oven. I love roasted vegetables. You still get that crunch with it nice little flavor. You politic it. Very nice. So beautiful. Gorgeous. Your chicken sit and let it rest too, all meat, right . I like to let it rest. Before you cut into it . Whats your secret to carving . Take off my wings.

Yesterday how did you spend your christmas . Was it a good day . It was awesome. You cant get better when you surprise family for Christmas Eve. I went up. We drove up to boston. Nobody had any idea we were coming there. Oh, you really did surprise them . We literally surprised them and we all sang the 12 days of christmas. Is this like a tradition . Seven swans of swimming. Thats my voice. Six geese a laying. Who is that . My niece, ava. My mother squealed and there were tears. How long does it take to get up there . About 5 1 2 hours to get up there because of the rain. Driving back it took three hours, record time to get back from boston yesterday. What did you do . Totally worth it. This was our first holiday in new york city. For the First Time Ever im ashamed to admit, i have two 2yearolds and a 5 wrrld and havent taken an official family picture. We tried. This is my imperfect perfect picture. The twins, my little guy, is ready to get off my lap. Little uche and clara. They hold on to one gift. My little guy is you know feverishly trying to open all the packages. Take a look at the next picture. He looks at it for a second and now hes moved on. Thats what every kid does. Yes let me go on and go back and play. Sometimes you fixate on one thing. My daughter she got one of those little strollers, kids stroller. All day long yesterday. Thats all she did. Something more about girls versus boys and our attention span. Speaking of boys, i spent yeah what did you do . I spent my christmas with boys. I worked hosting nightly news filled in for brian the last two days. I have a picture of my view look out rockefeller center. Beautiful view. It was beautiful. Its a beautiful shot. But the people there were just hoards and hoards of amazing people all over. Everyone was amazing, right . It was the temperature. We reached nearly 60 degrees in the city. I left nightly news around 7 00 pm and headed to my friends home. I cooked Christmas Eve at my house. Christmas day, my friends cooked for me. I headed to harlem. We have a picture of what was a phenomenally beautiful dinner put together by my friend professor eva at yale. My bestie who is always there. Composer with broadway inspirational voices. I was doted on by my men last night. Nothing wrong with that. You were the only girl there. I was the only girl there. Nice. I got home. It was 1 00 am when i got to bed. Last night . This morning. This morning. And i debated coming straight in. I made myself eggs to get myself sangria. To soak up the orange juice i drank last night and came in at 4 00 am this morning. You dont look tired at all. Im happy. You both have great energy. Im feeding off you. It will hit you at 2 00 pm maybe. Ill be asleep by then. As soon as the show is over. Another big story we talked about yesterday on nightly news of course the interview. No surprise topic of conversation at my table. A lot of people had opinions whether it should have been released. It got its debut Christmas Day. Sellout crowds around the country. Seth rogan made a surprise appearance thanked people for coming. He had a beer in hand and did a lot of swearing. Full celebration mode. Party mode. Im sure hes happy that its released. He has to be at this point. I was intrigued by the fact that its Available Online now and you can rent it. 5. 99. Wonder how that cut into the amount of money they made at a box office. Its not the most christmas thing ive done but it was the most patriotic thing that weve done. A lot of people thought that way. As a tradition, a lot of people go see a movie and to see the interview was almost a statement of some people. Most of the reviews are pretty bad. But people wanted to speak up for free speech. Well talk more about the hackers a little later this morning. Tons of Christmas Presents given out yesterday. Do you have anything you want to return . I cant admit it now because everybody i know is watching this morning. So no, dylan, everything was absolutely perfect. You may want to return it. Will you actually return something . You know what . Should i i think i would regift it. Is that okay . If its something jenna said it earlier. What i may not like, somebody else may love. If i think youll like it youre not going to physically return anything . The crowds around here are people are ready. Some stats here about returning gifts. Average american returns four gifts. I thought that was a lot. Really . I have some things i want to sxhing because the sizes were off but to return four gifts. 60 of people. I guess im included in that. Sheinelle, maybe you, too dont return anything at all. I thought that was interesting. Walmart is accepting gift cards from any other store or restaurant or airline. It doesnt have to be a walmart gift card. It loses value a little bit. Amazon is worth about 95 prs of its value at walmart, gap gift card is 89 and others are only 70 . I dont know if you should take the gift card and go to where its im sure you could find something at the original store. Otherwise youre starting to lose some value. If you live closer to a walmart, for example, or looking for a wider selection and have a gift card sometimes you can use it to get all the supplies you need. Get the paper towels toilet paper. I have a couple of gift cards from my wedding back in 2007 and they just sit and sit. They expire. Its probably better if you lose a little bit of value and actually use it. I lose track of them. Theyre in a drawer somewhere. This is an interesting thing from walmart. Well see. Ive never heard of this before i have to admit. Im looking forward to it. This morning, we have a glitter speed painter. Where was this profession when i was growing up . He has been featured on americas got talent. He will be speed painting our faces today. Now he is going to start with me apparently. This was his idea to start with me. Not that i dont trust you, robert. Were going to have some fun, tamron. Dont worry. I have really big eyes. If you could make the eyes you have 1 30. Are you ready . Im doing it. Hes in the dark. Hes moving. Thats not sped up. No thats robert. You can light me up a little bit. Through go. Thats my head. I see the shape here. Democratic ylan and sheinelle also. So we can put these up in our homes, glitter image of ourselves. Thats what i always wanted a sixfoot tall picture of myself. Im sure you do. Put it above your bed. Thats not what anyone wants to see in my bed. Robert when did you realize you could make these portraits so fast . When i was 4 years old, i started painting and discovered a different medium which is glue and glitter. Trying to have some fun with you. Might be a little sloppy. At the end hope you might like what i have. Better than the glitter project we did in school you shake it up remember . Robert good luck. We cant wait to see. And dylan is coming up after this. Im curious, is there any face that is a challenge to you . Just the one im doing right now is a little bit of a challenge. Really robert . You came for me on Christmas Day after . Really robert . I was rooting. Were going to see what robert has for us after this. Glue for the glitter to stick to. Youll do the weather and well check back in . You tell me when to hit it. Im ready. Is he ready . You tell me when. Okay. Lets see it. Lets do it. Lets see what weve got. Here is the big reveal. One, two, three. No way brilliant. Not bad, right sh. Is he in the board room . Dont look at myself as if i dont do that enough. Be careful of the glitter. How are you . Oh, my gosh hi. Looks like me. That is its going to look so good in my house. That is my diana ross moment. You walk into my house with a picture of myself. Youre beautiful. You made me look beautiful. Well get dylan and sheinelle. Im going to let you work on mine robert. Im going to do the weather. Ill take my time. That is so cool. I cant wait to see my face in glitter. Lets look at the weather right now. We are going to see the chance of snow showers back through the rockies.

Because of that Winter Weather advisories. Down into kansas most of colorado. Winter weather advisories and warnings too. Most of the snow through the day today. Here it spresd eastward through this evening and into early saturday morning. Then it it turns into a rainy event for the southeast. Warm air off the gulf of mexico that cold front will trigger stronger storms. Right down into louisiana, we could end up with three inches of rain. This could lead to some flash flooding.

Who is first . Who is bringing us a gift. You each got dry erase boards. Youll write on your boards as we go through each character, this is a gift you keep or return. You dont like any of them based on etiquette, keep or return it. Okay. Well start with i dont know. Lets start with grandma. Grandma, hardly. I spent months knitting this lovely sweater for you all. Oh grandma, i love it and will wear it often. You wasted your time. It is a keeper baby. It is a keep. And shes going to expect you to wear it next time. Here is what i suggest. For whatever reason you dont like the sweater, maybe it doesnt fit you well it is not your taste or what if it is ugly. Clearly maybe it is ugly. You want to do a thank you note and with grandma, give her a picture of you wearing the sweater. It may be the only time you wear that sweat, she can put it on the fridge or mantle and shell be happy. You cant email. Not to grandma or anyone else. Can you pick up the phone and call . I would, but i would follow up with a note. Next . To the boss. Hes our boss . Yes. I got you a book on business because things could get more professional. I say keep and regift.

This is such a great little franchise. We love it already are. I love that these movies always bring history to life for kids in a fun and funny way and get them involved with the characters. This is about saying goodbye to the franchise. The final one. What theyre doing is just loving all over the characters that we know and love already. And it is a goodbye for Robin Williams as well. What did you think when you saw him . Heart broken. Just edit it a certain way that made it feel like it was his swan song. I want to say this my 7yearold as we left the screening, turned to me and said this is best one of the three. I love this one the most. Okay. Stephen sondheims into the woods. What do we think . It is an adaptation of a broadway musical. And kind of dark. It is. It was intend for adults and they toned it down for the pg version. But it still has a high body count. There is there is like pecking out of eyes. It is a little unusual, little dark for kids. I would say not for 10 and under. What did you think . My 15 who gets bored, she loved it. The whole thing we were riveted to it. It is not for little kids. It is not really strong but it is a musical. I loved it. The soundtrack youre going to love it. And all nominated once again for a golden globe. My little 7yearold my movie critic he turned to me and he said first, i prewarned him, there may be scary parts and might be a wolf that is a little johnny depp. Of course coming from a 7yearold he thought he was the best character. The funniest the coolest, the scariest but i prewarnd him and going ging from this movie, he was wowed by this film. He really shady character. If you have a 15yearold, there is innuendo. Now lets pretend, cold snowy and want to stay home and cozy up to watch a movie. What is your pick . You want a movie that involves snow and kids stuck at home. Chronicles of narnia the first one, has all of that. The kids are stuck inside. They find this winter fantasy land perfect. Suzanne . I love freaky friday. My whole family. Over and over again, mother daughter tale full of laughs. Good old days. And my boys love john hughes and they love ferris beuller. They do . They do. It is my movie from the 80s.
