Pre Holiday Fun & Games... Today in the News 12/20/2013:

Opening Statement:
When I left off yesterday I left Thanking the Good Day Sacramento cast and crew for all they do for me. Now I will expand on that, Yesterday I met 2 amazing people. I went to the Good Day Sacramento studio to deliver their holiday cards and during the process I FINALLY met not only Ken Rudolph but Marianne McCleary. Though I was extremely nervous talking to both of them they could not be 2 of the nicest people you could meet. I can't thank the cast and crew enough for all they do for me and have done for me throughout the year and especially since I started writing Today in the News. Of course Marianne and Ken are not the only ones I chatted with, I also chatted with Eleanor, Melissa, Julissa, and Cody was playing my elf handing out the cheer. It made for a GREAT visit and I will always have those memories to share and remember. Thank you.

With that said here is what is taking place Today in the News....

Ken's Manly Minute
It’s going to happen, whether it’s premeditated or a drunken escapade. The office holiday party is second only to New Years Eve for the night of most meaningless, easily-excused, no-need-to-explain hook-ups. But it can also be a night of serious regret. On the Manly Minute, we look at some rules to follow to enjoy your holiday fun without having to worry about the consequences.
The Holiday Party Hook Up. Have a location. Timing is everything. Chain of command. Avoid the crush. Joke it about it later.

Final Thoughts:
It's the final push to Christmas shopping and stores are now staying open through Christmas Eve. This story and the Target store breach. My58 as well as Fox & Good Day Sacramento gave helpful tips to protect yourself. My58 also talked about Ballet group performing tonight and McDonalds losing money on lack of chicken wings sales.
Fox40 delivered toys from their Toy Drive they shared with Big O tires KSFM 102.5 and more. In addition to that they gave gift ideas for that special guy or gal.
Good Day Sacramento had more fun with the wiener mobile. Today Melissa took viewers for a ride to breakfast at Rivers Edge Café from Dutch Bros.
Today was what I hope the start of a new game to sweep the nation. Cody vs. Cody. Yes Good Day Sacramento's Cody Stark went head to head with Now100.5 Cody on the Radio for this epic battle of trivia. This 3 round knock down went to our own Cody Stark but the rematch is set for February 2014. CODYROCKS!
Also on Good Day Sacramento Julissa previewed a local mother daughter team preparing to battle each other for the 5th Annual Tamale Throwdown THIS MONDAY ON Good Day Sacramento.
Ken played Flag Football with a local group heading to Dallas.
Mark hung out with a wolf from Discovery Kingdom.
Courtney did some last minute Christmas shopping at the airport.... Who knew?
The 10th Day of Thriftmas was today with great stocking stuffer ideas from Gina at ThriftTown.
Shari's Berries creator Shari Fitzpatrick was showing off her new book and wine dipped in chocolate.
Wrap it up today was about a Children's book series which one was written by Jennifer Gardner.
Finally Mark went back to check in on our friend Rodney who's living in a tuff shed but this time took friends with him. Another vet association was trying to feed families and as luck would have it movie producer Dion Taylor had extra toys and turkeys with the help of ex-King Bobby Jackson & ex-Monarch Ruthie Bolton also an Auburn Grad (#CodytoPasadena) helped both groups reach their goals. 
With that we officially danced into the weekend and turn the controls over to Cody and Amy so until then have a great day and safe weekend.
