From TODAY correspondent Sara HainesThis is my favorite time of the year. Even as all of us have left
home, we do things each holiday to maintain the Haines traditions. Since actress Keri Russell was
on TODAY this morning to talk about her new film, I thought I'd ask her what makes a holiday a Russell holiday. Here's what she told me:
From TODAY correspondent Sara HainesWhen shopping for multiple kids over the holidays, how do you maintain a sense of equality with gift-giving? TODAY toy expert Elizabeth Werner has some ideas. Here, she talks about family traditions at her house and offers ideas to keep the holidays special at yours.
Tune into TODAY on Black Friday (Nov. 27) to catch Elizabeth Werner's picks for the holiday season's hottest toys.
Sara Haines captures a fun moment with the "The Man Panel," gabbing about beauty queen Carrie Prejean’s heated interview on “Larry King Live” and what they look for in a lady ("when you are a good-looking woman, that trumps all ... if I found out any of you were serial killers, I'd still date you!").
Thankfully, TODAY style editor Bobbie Thomas pops her head in to remind everyone “Don’t listen to them! They don’t know anything.”

I always worry about mentioning old projects with artists because you never know if it is a sore spot. Ralph could not have been more gracious regarding the movie that put him on the map.

I was laughing as I watched Jennifer and Alexis go back and forth during
their segment with Kathie Lee and Hoda. So, before they headed out, I got the chance to throw some questions their way. I wanted just a little more of the verbal ping pong...and, that is exactly what I got.

Rather than expressing pride when excited for someone else's good fortune, KLG employs the word "groud," a word she created with her daughter Cassie.

These guys always have me laughing, so I wasn't ready for the "man" advice to end.
I ambushed Chuck Nice, Andrew Trees, and Rick Younger (with a brief cameo from Curis Stone) after their segment this morning.
From TODAY correspondent Sara Haines
KLG and Hoda frequently talk about their social movement from greeting with a handshake to greeting with a bump of the bums.
It is their answer to reducing the spread of germs and if chef Tom Colicchio didn't know about it before, he knows now.

It was grand and unplanned but John Lobello's entrance onto the set during
a live segment with Paula Deen this morning was priceless.
John does electronic maintenance at Today and he is a big part of our amazing crew. I asked him about his television debut.
From TODAY correspondent Sara Haines
"
Read for the Record" hit
our Plaza this morning. I was able to catch Nia as she left the set to ask about her favorite book.
