on the eastern portion of the country. a lot of rain right now but showed you that picture from memphis. sure enough, memphis picking up light snow. i think you'll pick up a dusting to an inch or snow and by 10:00, it's gone. then focus on the rain. it's rain right now, because my goodness look at the temperatures. in new york city yesterday, hit 61 degrees. you're not getting snow with 61 degrees. we have had all of this warm, muggy air in place. as of right now we take the temperatures up to around 50 degrees in boston, 55 for new york. that's not going to be snow. strictly rain. what happens is tonight, the cold air filters in and we drop down to the 20s and the 30s and we will be switching over on the tail end of this system. i got to be clear, this is going to be a big rainmaker first, all right? the last two, three, four hours of the storm it will turn over to snow. from roanoke to banger picking up at least an inch of rain and some spots around new york city will be closer to the 2-inch rain and isolated spots 3 inches of rain. 11:00 until about 3:00 in the mornings it turns over. we do think we will be seeing the spine along the appalachians pick up 2 to 4 inches. the high peaks possibly 6 to 9 inches of snow but none of the big cities are going to be affected. i think new york picks up maybe a dusting to a slushy inch and this whole thing is gone by the time you get to thursday afternoon and the sun comes back out. that's a quick look at the storm is going to do for the eastern half of the country. >> lonnie, thanks. more of an inconvenience, right? >> definitely a little bit there. yes. to politics now. a full attack on the republicans by firedup speech by president obama. in a speech on tuesday, he said the time you're on your own economics is over. >> we can expect to hear this over and over during the campaign as senior white house correspondent bill plante tells us this morning. good morning. >> reporter: exactly right. these are the arguments the president will be making. a sharp contrast between his vision of america and what he sees as that of the republican presidential hopefuls. he made the case that the current tax and economic policies are skewed toward the wealthy to the detriment of the middle class. >> reporter: this is a make or break moment for the middle class. >> reporter: the president chose to make his speech in osawatomie, kansas, because that is where republican icon theodore roosevelt gave the address 101 years ago. the juxtaposition drew a snicker from gop hopeful mitt romney. >> teddy roosevelt of course, founded the bull moose party. one of those words applies when this president is talking about how he has helped the economy one of those words applies. >> reporter: but president obama argues it is he, not today's republicans, who shares teddy roosevelt's philosophy. >> there were people who thought massive inquality and exploitation of people were just the price you pay for progress. theodore roosevelt disagreed. >> reporter: and the inequality persists, says president obama. he noted in the last few decades, the average income of the top 1% has gone up by more than 250%. while the income for the average american has fallen 6% in the last decade. >> i believe that this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot, when everyone does their fair share, when everyone plays by the same rules! >> reporter: it's a message that resonated with this unemployed consistan. >> a guy who doesn't have nothing, do you know what i'm saying? what want to have something and not have something given to you but go out and get it for themselves. >> reporter: that theme of a fair shake for the middle class is one that the president will repeat again and again as he tries to paint himself as more sympathetic than republicans at a time the voters are suffering from a bad economy and he hasn't been able to do much about it. >> bill plante at the white house for us, thank you. in the republican campaign this morning, newt gingrich is finding himself on top of several new polls. >> among them a cbs news/"the new york times" poll showing mitt romney in second place. jan crawford is in washington with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. our poll shows that likely iowa republican voters think gingrich is the most qualified of all the gop candidates to be president and, as a result, he is leading in iowa but not all good news for him. most voters have not made up their minds and can still change their minds and our poll indicates at least three other candidates are still in this thing. iowa caucus goers like what they are hearing from former speaker of the house newt gingrich in our brand news cbs news/"the new york times" poll gingrich ahead of the pact and he has the 31% approval rating. that is nearly double mitt romney's 17% and ron paul's 16%. the two candidates running neck and neck for second place. >> i had to do the latest cbs polls. you laugh. you happy with these polls? >> i've been on the show with you when i was really unhappy in june and july so, yes, this is a nice christmas present. >> reporter: gingrich has benefited on solid debate performance on readiness to be president, the poll shows gingrich with a commanding lead. 43% of likely iowa caucus goers say gingrich was most prepared to be president with romney a distant second with 20%. for gingrich front-runner numbers mean a bull's-eye on his back the next four weeks. ron paul launched perhaps the harshest attack out of the packet with gingrich labeling him a hypocrite. >> he went the other way when he got paid to go the other way. >> he is. >> reporter: expectations for romney and iowa are low but on the critical issue of the economy, which 7 in 10 voters say is even more important than social issues, romney remains ever so slightly ahead of gingrich, but it's very close on romney's signature issue. the former massachusetts governor has until recently been riding a wave of perceived inevitability. he, too, has to engage with rifle gingrich. >> if the american people believe what we need is someone who spent the last 40 years or so in washington, d.c. working as an insider, why, he's the right guy. >> reporter: gingrich does stumble, both ron paul and michele bachmann surprisingly enough in our poll could be poised to make a move. both of those candidates are generating enthusiasm and they are really polling well when voters ask who best represents your values and who promotes conservative causes, so this thing is wide open. >> let's talk about mitt romney for a second. how much of a problem does his campaign have right now with his numbers and newt gingrich moving past him on most polls we are seeing now? >> reporter: well, obviously, we have seen candidates come and go in this race but these are pretty commanding numbers for newt gingrich and not a lot of time here. there is four weeks in the calendar but if you count out the week of christmas as voters don't pay attention then, it's only three weeks. i think you have to be careful when we look at this poll. it is not a lock for gingrich by any means. remember, two-thirds of the voters still haven't made up their minds and our poll does show as i was saying earlier it looks like a four-way race with paul and a true social conservative like, say, a michele bachmann. gingrich will get a lot of attacks in the weeks to come and some of those social conservatives with him now may not like what they are see when they are reminded of the things in the past on personal issues and as well as things on his leadership when he was speaker of the house. >> jan crawford in washington for us, thanks. move to iraq. americans military role are shrinking by the day. the u.s. is sending thousands of troops across the border to kuwait. national correspondent jim axelrod is in baghdad with the latest on the us wrul there. jim, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, chris. fewer now than 8,000 u.s. troops left here stationed at 1 of 5 u.s. military bases stilt operating in iraq and more troops leave every day to meet the draw down deadline and all troops will be gone by the end of the month. 60 miles south of baghdad at an army base call calsue, the soldiers of the 1st brigade first cavalry are loading up as they get ready to move out. it's called "operation new dawn," the final withdrawal of u.s. troops from iraq. >> does everybody have that? >> no, i don't believe so. >> reporter: lieutenant justin luke oos will command a hundred soldiers when it's his unit's turn to join the convoy to kuwait. >> i don't know how it will read in the history books but it's definitely historic and i'm proud to be a part of it. >> reporter: in 2003, lucas was among the first soldiers in iraq and now among the last to leave and trying to keep things business as usual for his troops knowing they will be high profile targets. they want to bloody your nose? >> yes, sir. love nothing more than to bloody us on the way out and get some footage of them doing it and then they can show that to the people and say look what we did. we ran off the americans. >> you observe three things for this weapon. >> reporter: which is why soldiers who have been clerks or food handlers are getting extensive training on skills they may need to get home alive. >> shoulder it. hold it with your nondominant hands. >> reporter: soldiers like james garcia, a communications specialist getting familiar with this troop transport vehicle in case the gunner is killed. >> you have to be ready for anything to take over. >> reporter: sometimes in the next few weeks the soldiers will take their final mission in iraq, leaving. >> i think they are excited to get out of here but focused, they understand there is still a real threat. >> reporter: it will be a nine-hour drive from that base calsue to kuwait. a one tank drive, assuming all goes well. chris? >> jim axelrod in baghdad, hold on one second. >> one thing we were wondering. is there any idea of the specific threats? we have sort of an idea but the specific threats they think they may face during the nine-hour drive of groups who may want to take a shot there? >> reporter: yeah. i was talking to lieutenant lucas about that question. he said it could be anybody. it could be al qaeda or iranian backed militia or some bad guys wanting to bloody the u.s. nose on the way out. once the u.s. goes it's beginning of the larger question. that is can the iraqi security forces keep iraq safe. >> we will be watching. jim, thanks. now over to jeff glor at the news desk with a check of today's other headlines for us this morning. >> good morning to you. positive economic news. the number of homeowners late on their mortgage payments is going down significantly. transunion expects mortgage delinquency rates to be about 6% the first three months of 2012 but drop to 5% by this time next year. the prerecession average for mortgage delinquencies was 2%. the peak was almost 7% in 2009. is it dessert or breakfast?

>> yes. we don't know about them at the present time. jerry denies those allegations as he has the original allegations but we hope to get more information as we proceed. >> so you're saying he is denying these along with the original ones. a lot of the alleged victims here have said and him speaking to you out to "the new york times" and bob costas, they feel re-victimized. do you believe the allegations most of the people have made are totally false? >> yes. as a matter of fact, jerry has maintained his innocence from the initial allegation back in 2008 which started off as an allegation of fondling and grew over several months into much more serious sexual activities. jerry has always denied any appropriate sexual contact with then kids and now grown adults. >> in his latest interview he alleges will actions as horse play. how does jerry sandusky define horse play? >> wrestling with kids. many people who know jerry over the years describe him as an overgrown kid. when you talk to people who know jerry and you look at the old films with jerry interacting with kids you get that impression. he's just a big kid who likes to interact with kids. he always love kids. he and his wife have adopted six children three of whom were foster kids and they raised them and provided them a home life they otherwise wouldn't have had. >> he has done things that even you have said was inappropriate. you said in an interview you would never shower with a 10-year-old boy. he admitted doing so. does he understand why so many people find that absolutely inappropriate? >> a lot of people find it inappropriate, but it's not criminal. i think the way jerry has described it, the kids with whom he showered were basically like his own kids. he treated them like his own kids and jerry really didn't feel he was doing anything wrong in getting showers with them. now, would i do it? would other people do it? perhaps not. i think there is a big distinction between getting a shower with a child who you treat as your own child and committing a creditor act which is has has been alleged in these indications. >> parents alleging to proven to do things with their children that is inappropriate but being a parent isn't necessarily something that enters in here. to pose the question to you. you said you see why that is not a good idea. does your client at this time especially after that admission showering with a 10-year-old boy does he understand why so many people find that inappropriate? >> oh, i think he understands that people, a lot of people may think that is inappropriate, erica, but, again, that's not a criminal act in and of itself. in order to establish a criminal act, you have to show some sort of criminal intent with regard to these charges it's the intent of trying to obtain some sort of sense of sexual gratification and jerry adamantly denied that. >> you said in this interview you believe all of these allegations are false. what about the eyewitness accounts? do you believe those were made up as well? >> when you say eyewitness accounts, we have one accusnumb eight allegation. he has never testified. is the eyewitness and we have never heard of him either as the grand jury. with regard to number two the mike mcqueary allegation, jerry adamantly maintained that activity never occurred. we spoke with someone who indicated he was victim number two and he said the activity never occurred but then later changed his story and is now saying he is a victim. so we will have to wait and see how that shakes out in court. >> why would someone make up that? why would you think mike mcqueary, if he is lying, why would he make that up? >> well, in order to believe mike mcqueary, you would have to believe he told tim can you recalley, gary schultz and joe paterno he observed jerry sandusky having anal sex with a child in a shower. i know those three men. they are reputable people and i don't believe they were told that information and did nothing about it other than to tell jerry sandusky don't shower with kids in the penn state shower rooms no more. >> joe, we have to leave it there or the satellite will cut you off. thanks for your time. we will be back with more. and tea to choose from. keurig is the way to brew fresh, delicious coffee in under a minute. way to brew. so with keurig, every cup tastes like it's brewed just for you. because it is. yi mean you've got like five chundred dollars worth of nuts here, you do the math. be five percent more merry with the target red card, by getting an extra 5% off, our already low prices. plus free shipping at target.com for what?

>> not at all. not yet. i think it will be and i agree with the families. all of the thing cannot bring that i have loved ones back. in west virginia, our families mean everything to us. when you lose a member of your family and the bread winner of your family, you don't replace that. we are after res institution. we want justice to be done. i think justice will be done. i think now that we have reports that concur that basically said this is preventible, it should have been prevented and never should have happened. i believe justice will be done. i hope it will be done as quickly as possible now to really give some relief to the families. >> especially when you hear that they had promoted a culture of fear and intimidation here. it's been over a year and a half since the explosion. are you at all surprised? haven't more executives and more managers been prosecuted in this case? >> i think it's been a lengthy investigation and when i was governor, i pointed a -- macatier is unbelievable person who has the experience and put together a report that showed the direction the company was going was very harmful and a report yesterday concurred to what was found. now we have basically a template for us to move forward to make sure it doesn't happen and put meaningful reforms and legislation in place and mine safety legislation that truly prevent this from ever happening and going after the perpetrators and making sure no one can hyped behind the corporate veil. we have to make sure that corporate of america will be found at the highest level. >> have you had a chance to speak to some of the families that were affected by this after this settlement? >> no. i'll be speaking to them today and i will be calling families. i spent a lot of time with the families and have just an affection with them. west virginia mining families have something so special, they are just an unusual breed but they are caring, loving and caring and they want to be able to make sure that their families are taken care of but you will not replace that family member. no amount of money is going to replace that person but knowing that basically that justice has been done or will be done is going to be done and those will pay that did it for just the greed, the profit, that is inexcusable and we will do everything we can to make sure those people are brought to justice and punished properly. >> $10 million of the settlement it will go through cutting edge mine safety. how confident are you this will prevent something like this happening in the future? >> you can never be 100% sure in any type of operation or workplace. what we can do is make sure we are moving ahead and staying ahead of the curve. this is going to give us a chance for research. it goes back to revamp some of the mines that need to be upgraded but also the research and technology is needed to make sure we are on the front end of this. after another incident i knew we needed oxygen in the mine. i knew we needed rapid response but we needed tracking. all of those things are being put in place now. because of that. this was more of a technical, more technical and they are telling us the things that happened, the things that weren't done, that basically were supposed to have been done and people ignored them and then so i'm just very confident that we are going to have justice and there is going to be people that will pay the supreme price for what they did and took the lives of 29 miners. i feel confident that they will do that. >> senator, thank you very much for taking the time. appreciate it. west virginia senator joe manchin joining us on "the early show" this morning. here is jeff glor at the news desk with a check of today's other headlines for us. 6 minutes past the hour. good morning. more on this nasty weather now. wintry storm is heading east and affect areas from north carolina to maine today. it's already snowing in memphis this morning. this is the same storm that hit the southwest. in some higher elevations along the east coast up to 6 inches of snow is predicted but most areas will get heavy rain. 2 inches or more is possible. faa chief randy babbitt has resigned arrested on drunk driving charges saturday night in virginia. he will be succeeded by michael orta. in illinois, 'roid blagojevich is expected to plead for mercy today before a judge sentences him for corruptionion. he faces up to 20 years behind bars. here is cynthia bowers. >> reporter: the normally talkative rod blagojevich had little to say when he came down after the first day of the sentencing hearing that will term his future. the former democratic governor was convicted on 18 vounts of corruption after caught on a profanity laced wiretap offering political favors in return for financial game. >> i'm stuck. it's no good. it's no good. i got to get moving! >> reporter: the most notorious recording captured blagojevich seeming to offer the newly seat vacated by then barack obama. >> i am appointing roland burris the next illinois senator. >> reporter: blagojevich appointed a relatively unknown roland burris to the vacant seat. his defense contended that blagojevi blagojevich's actions were political horse trading and at the time of the arrest no money had changed from hands. rather than shrink then, he went on an offensive appearing on talk shous touting his innocence to anyone who would listen. ironically, i was first elected on 2002 on a platform of cleaning up corruption, in a state known for dirty politics. what is it about this state that breeds this kind of corruption? >> blil machines are greased with money and that all too often crosses the line between bad politics and illegality. >> reporter: prosecutors have asked the judge for 15 to 20 years behind bars. a ruling that will likely come today. cynthia bowers, cbs news, chicago. actor alec baldwin booted off a plane after a confrontation about wa flight attendant. he was mobbed in new york last night after taking a different flight. he says the dispute started when he playing "words with friends." witnesses say baldwin stormed into the bathroom after an attendant asked him to turn off announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by macy's. up next, i didn't get this memo. growing older doesn't have to be a pain apparently. >> lucky for you, you're here to find out why this morning. you'll meet some baby boomers who are cycling their way through the bumps and bruises of aging. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

>> superman! >> cycling this is different than most bicycle races. i used to race but i'm also an orthopaedic surgeon. element of technical skill running opinions barriers and getting up and off the bicycle and some of the riding is off-road and a lot of pushing beyond your threshold and coming back and having to recover. people would do but i would recommend any athlete that starts a new exercise program at least has a general level of baseline fitness. the problem you see with the week yard warriors is they don't have the baseline fitness. they just exercise once a week and you see injuries happening. you fall down, twist your ankle. many are endurance related and you're exhausted mainly. you can injure your knee, your hip. >> five years ago, i broke everything on the left side, my shoulder, five ribs, the shoulder blade, and it takes longer to recover after an accident when you age. after hard training, same thing. takes twice as long when you're in the 50s compared to when you're in the 20s, that's for sure. >> every sport uses different groups of muscles and i think it's really important to be aware of which groups are mainly involved and then do some conditioning, some general strengthening and flexibility, especially for those groups prior to starting the sport. i think part of the idea behind that is understanding what you like to do and then what helps you do it better, and for me, stretching is the most important thing. >> when you're 20 years old, you don't think whether it will be important in six months or a year. when you're in your 50s, you know that if you don't do the right thing, you'll pay the price later on. >> he was throwing up there! >> made him hurt. >> good athlete. i hope it doesn't happen to me when i turn 40. >> good luck with that. up next, computers anti-virus software but what about smart phones?

>> i think about it from a personal perspective also from the historical perspective. my brother's oldest brother enlisted in 1918 and off the navy and was shot down and killed that was his 20th bird. but my family, like many other families were deeply involved in the war effort. my father did metal drives and my mother did likewise and my mothers were rosy the riveter. both families were deeply ste d stepped up in winning the war. >> the call to serve was met with astonishing numbers. >> it was. the afternoon of december th, the navy which wasn't meeting its recruiting goals were flooded with perspective enlistees and that was across all of the services. they all had to go on 24/7 with their offices open constantly because there were so many people trying to enlist and it wasn't just young men. it was veterans of the spanish american war and veterans of world war i. women were trying to enlist. the outpouring was astonishing. only way to describe this country after december 7th and september 11th, unique unity. >> there are a number of books written by pearl harbor and why did you decide to focus on 41 days in december 1941? >> i think it's one of the important in the history. we have different days, but in terms of the impact on this country from top to bottom, from government, culture, the economy, how we view ourselves in the world, this month changes america radically and forever. >> why do you think the u.s. was caught so off guard on december 7th? >> failure of imagination. we simply didn't -- even though japan had been engaged in increasingly military behavior the previous ten years, they signed a pact with germany and with italy, we simply didn't think they they had the tenacity or wherewithal to sail a huge armata thousand miles across the open ocean to attack us. not only did they attack us on december 7th at pearl, they also attacked us in guam, midway and british at singapore and hong kong and attacked us in the philippin philippines. >> one of the things from your book that stood out you said franklin roosevelt the only man you thought would lead the allies in world war ii. what did you learn about him working on this book? >> historian and writer in the 1940s. i think that if you look at his conduct as a president, as a leader, leading the american people, leading the military, his calm demeanor, his command of the white house, and he was not lost in power, he knew, i think he was destined for this time as maybe washington and lincoln and reagan knew that they were destined for their times to also, in my opinion, become great presidents. >> craig shirley, thanks so much for taking the time to speaking with us this morning. we do appreciate it. >> thank you. >> you can read an excerpt from december 1941 at earlyshow.cbsnews.com. here is jeff glor at the news desk with a final check of treasury sect tim geithner president sarkozy and geithner says progress is being made. san francisco police cracked down occupy wall street protesters early this morning and a hundred demonstrators at that downtown campground. more than 50 arrest and police took down more than a hundred tents. in orlando, florida, a follow-up on a homeless family recently featured on "60 minutes." homeless no more. the coates family told scott pelli they were forced to move into the family car and now if you still haven't booked your holiday air travel, it's a good thing, because we have some alternative airlines for you, not household names but they could be big money savers. "travel" editor peter greenberg is here to tell us about the airlines flying under the radar, pardon the pun. >> they have been around 15 years but have you heard of vision or legion or porter air? they fly all over north america including canada but people aren't aware of them because of where they fly. >> meaning they fly places that are not convenient? >> a lot of american communities either don't have very good air service or don't have it at all and that is what they picked out as their targets. who flies from champagne, illinois, and allentown, p.a., or myrtle beach or grand rapids. that is where they have targeted and where they are flying. >> to this to work for you you need to be in areas they serve. >> or areas near. >> but is this the kind of airline we don't hear about because of flight times or availability? >> they got smart and knew they couldn't compete flying tif finals a day or a week. they may fly from grand rapids to las vegas where they are based las vegas maybe twice a week. but they pick that flight because you can save money. >> how much can we save? >> if you're going from orlando to allentown, pennsylvania, not you're going tomorrow, but the point is on delta air lines it's like $610. with allegiant, 304 and. >> that's amazing. especially if you have an entire family you're flying for the holidays. >> louisville, kentucky, to atlanta, 359 on delta and because delta is based on atlanta but vision, $238. >> huge savings. >> there are savings. >> there are savings. also one airline in particular that you like. i think you mentioned it earlier. you like it for business travelers, that is porter. >> yes. they are a relatively new airline and based in toronto but they fly to boston, they fly to newark and chicago. they fly to 16 other cities in canada but if you're going from new york to toronto, that's a $600 air fare which averages like american as low as $248 on porter. the coolest part they fly to one of the coolest urban airports in the world. they don't fly to pierson which costs you two hours in traffic to get to downtown toronto they fly to a little bitty island next to downtown toronto and you land at the airport and three minutes later you're in town. >> you can't beat that. before we go, the deals sound great in terms of the air fare. what about when you're in the air. we talk about what you don't get when you fly. what kind of amenities do they have or not have on board? >> amenities? >> i'm just checking. >> people tell me what is the definition of a great flight? my answer is you landed! the point is they are flying state-of-the-art airplanes. porter gives awe meal on flight to toronto when you consider it's a snack but only a 38-minute flight when you average the air time in there. bottom line it's good service and going to places most people can't get to but need to go and the price is right. >> peter, thanks. the holidays could be stress fel for parents who are struggling with tight budget. here to help us is julie ross, executive director of parenting horizons and author of "how to hug a porcupine: negotiating the prickly points of the tween years." good to see you this morning. >> good to be here. >> why is it important to have a plan and the big thing is to stick with that plan? >> right. . i'm a big believer in having a pro active parent. and so having a plan for me especially around the holidays means knowing what we want our kids to get out of the holiday. because if we don't have a vision of it's about gratitude, it's about giving more than receiving, the media is going to rush in and they are going to take that place and communicate to our kids that it's about buying more stuff. so we need to have a plan in advance. >> pretty much the message is out there right now. >> it is. >> when you're talking about a plan it's not a plan what i'm spending on the holidays but giving the kids meaning what the holiday is. let's be honest. kids will have oversized expectations no matter what the economy. santa is never going to be able to meet. >> that's right. >> all of those expectations. how do you start that part of your plan and discussion? >> i like kids to create a wish list. it becomes a talking point for conversation or communication around the holidays. so instead of it just being them dream in their head of the great big $700 item that they want, they have it written down on paper and parents can then say, you know, this is great because this means you'll get some of what you want and we don't always get all of what we want. so it allows parents to make it more realistic for the kids. >> you think parents should also formulate their own lists? >> i do. >> somewhat manageable with those lists. >> i do. i think parents need to articulate about their own list to their kids and talk about how grateful they are for what they have and even say things like one of the things on my list, because i don't really need a lot of stuff, one of the things on my list is that someone will make a donation in my name to a charity and when we communicate that, articulate that about ourselves, we teach our children not to be overly greedy for lack of a better word. >> that plays into another bit of advice that you have and that is showing kids, frankly, lucky they are and how tough it is for a number of other families out there. >> that's right. parents try to do this often but they do it through lecturing their kids so they talk about people in other countries who don't have as much or whatever. but kids are experiencing and they need hands-on experiences. so things like during this season, just making holiday cards for the elderly in a retirement home and delivering those and just seeing the joy about that kind of a simple gift can really communicate to our kids that it's not about the price tag. >> right. what about picking a wish off a tree for another child? absolutely. a lot of opportunities that could be picking a wish off a tree for another child. combing through your child's toys and clothing for gently used items where they can then go and deliver them to the pediatric ward at a hospital, for example. there's a lot of opportunities out there. >> the one thing that we don't have a whole lot of time to talk about is practice discussing receiving gifts like how to -- i'm still not good at that. >> when they don't get what they want, they hope it up and it's a sweater from grandma and they say, great, i'm 7! i don't want a sweater. >> there is not a parent in the world who hasn't had a mortifying experience around that so it's good to practice with, especially younger kids, say when you get this gift from grandma, if you don't like it, what are you going to say? how about, thank you so much, grandma! >> do you have a receipt? thank you, grandma, but do you have a receipt? up ne how is this for a big night out? the royals stepped out together in london last nichlt. >> royal contributor victoria arbiter is here with more. i was kind of surprised to learn this is the first time all four of them have been at an engagement together. >> they do spend a lot of time together. this is a tight-knit family, however, was the first night they have been out in an official capacity and raising money for both prince's charities. the prince's trust was a key benefactor last night's was the benefit of william and harry. both charities are aim to go help disadvantaged young people. >> how did it go? >> it went very well, i would say. yes, everyone seemed to have a great night out. no dancing in the royal box but certainly a lot of fun being had and william said to gary before the concert the louder, the better. >> judging by the crowd, a lot of dauncing going on. how do you avoid not dancing? >> tapping your toes? >> one of the royal commentators said they are were jingle jiangling their jewelry. >> very common folkish. >> i love that. so you mentioned gary barlow which people in the states may not be as familiar with. this is apparently someone that kate middleton is a big fan of? >> she is. gary is the lead sing of a band take that and judge on the current uk edition of x-foorkt. kate long been a fan of his. in 2007 she was spotted dancing to one of their hits in the royal box. there was no dancing, as i said, but they were certainly enjoying the music. >> how does the crowd respond to them now over the past few months talking about this being a different type of royal? >> this is amazing last night, because when both couples entered the royal box a huge standing ovation and a big cheer from the crowd that there there. they know they were there to support both princes charities. but it is continuing based on the success of the wedding. >> also an attitude around kate's outfits that is continuing. is it true? so the dress she was wearing is sold out now? >> i think so. this is how fast it happens. we are hinted with a time difference here but her dress was 69 pounds so around $120. it is from the new season so i'm sure they will be getting more in stock. >> can you imagine any american star going anywhere in a dress that woo only $169 although our big hollywood types? >> we did see first lady doing it famously on "the view". >> she looks great in anything. >> she really does and nice to see her legs. we don't often get to see that. >> fantastic! >> there is also a lot of attention on her sister pippa. there are rumors now that pippa was invited to this very important boxing event day after christmas. is she going or not?
