It's true---I have been up close and personal with past stars of NBC's Today Show. During our first year living in Virginia, my husband and I met our daughter and her then-boyfriend in New York City for a few days just prior to Christmas. It was her treat, and she planned some things she knew I would love doing, such as being part of the outdoor audience for the Today Show. We arrived on the Plaza about 6 A.M., and boy, was it ever freezing! I thoroughly enjoyed myself during those few hours, so much so that we repeated this experience during subsequent visits to NYC. Admittedly, it was much easier to do that during summer visits, but nothing can compare with the thrill of that first trip, when we were close enough to reach out and touch Meredith Viera, David Gregory (Matt Lauer was on vacation at that time) and Al Roker. We were able to see Ann Curry inside the studio through the window. Most memorable of that trip was Meredith Viera pointing to the amazing hat my daughter had knitted to give to her brother for Christmas. She let my daughter know she really liked it. On a return trip Matt Lauer was back, and I have to admit, I was a little bit star-struck.
Al Roker works the crowd before doing the weather.
Meredith Viera and David Gregory had to be cold too.

My daughter made this hat for her brother for Christmas but wore it on national TV first.
It was a most momentous, magical Christmas adventure!
