0:39
Sugar Shane is adding a little bit of water.
0:42
So we're gonna show you how to color flow.
0:44
- Y'all you wouldn't believe how pretty this girl is.
0:46
- So look I'm going-- - And your hair is grand.
0:50
- Oh , thank you.
0:50
- [Paula] You've got so much of it.
0:52
- The redder the better.
0:53
- [Paula] She's a beautiful-- - I'm just saying.
0:54
- [Paula] The redder the better, oh.
0:57
- Right, Decadent Dianne?
0:59
- [Dianne] Yes.
1:00
(both laugh) Absolutely.
1:02
- [Paula] All right, I want, gonna do--
1:03
No you're not this is my cookie.
1:05
- [Betty] Oh, she's getting bossy.
1:06
Okay, I'll be over here.
1:10
- [Paula] All right, I'm gonna do my cookie,
1:11
the way I want to, okay.
1:12
- [Betty] All right, go ahead, I give you permission.
1:15
- All right, now this is what I'm gonna do.
1:17
I'm not gonna, oh, let's see, come on, Paula.
1:27
(group chatters)
1:32
I'm not doing so, hush Michael.
1:34
(all laugh)
1:35
- Michael are you coming--
1:37
- [Shane] Everyone's a critic
1:37
- [Betty] Are you coming over here, Michael?
1:39
He didn't decorate anything yet.
1:42
- [Shane] Michael is out of cookies.
1:42
- [Paula] Michael come decorate.
1:44
- [Betty] Just do one, you have to get the spirit.
1:46
- [Michael] I'm watching a football game here.
1:49
- [Paula] You are, it doesn't look like it.
1:51
- [Michael] I wanted a cookie.
1:53
- [Shane] He's ready for the taste testing section.
1:56
- [Eddie] There's a gingerbread cookie there on the plate.
1:59
- [Betty] Oh yeah, those look a little scarce,
2:01
I'm gonna have to change have to change,
2:02
this one out, Shane.
2:02
- [Shane] Oh yeah, that's the snap.
2:04
(Dianne murmurs)
2:08
- [Dianne] Cheers.
2:10
- Thank you.
2:14
- Oh, look at that.
2:16
I like that nice and fluffy.
2:18
- Yes.
2:19
- [Betty] All right, and I'm gonna outline this for Shane.
2:23
- [Shane] Oh, you're outlining for me.
2:25
- [Betty] Yeah.
2:26
- [Michael] Can I have some of my cookies?
2:27
- So the color flow, basically,
2:28
you just make the frosting a little bit thinner
2:33
and he'll show you when you put it in here,
2:35
right Shane, you're gonna show them?
2:37
- [Shane] Yeah.
2:38
(Dianne mumbles)
2:40
- [Eddie] It just melts into the outline you did.
2:43
- [Betty] Yeah, so usually you let the outline,
2:45
dry a little bit.
2:46
- [Paula] Is that enough?
2:46
- [Betty] And then when you, oh, that's beautiful.
2:49
- [Paula] Thank you.
2:50
- [Betty] Oh my goodness, look at that technique.
2:53
- [Paula] Yeah, look at this at this technique.
2:54
(both laugh)
2:57
Oh, dad-gummit, I should have turned my cookie
3:02
instead of--
3:05
- [Shane] How's the cookie?
3:06
(both laugh)
3:08
- [Michael] I gave mine to Dianne.
3:09
(Betty chuckles)
3:11
- [Dianne] It's so good.
3:14
- I know you like some for every bite.
3:17
- [Michael] That's good. Thank you.
3:20
- You're welcome.
3:22
- [Eddie] Some cinnamon sugar to make it sparkle.
3:24
- [Paula] Thank you, Eddie.
3:26
(cinnamon sugar sifts)
3:29
You're so smart like that.
3:32
- [Betty] The accent is really shinning through.
3:34
(both laugh)
3:37
- [Paula] Look how pretty.
3:39
- Ooh and the sparkly sugar.
3:40
So look at Shane he's that's what it's flowing
3:45
towards the edges.
3:46
That's a color flow right there.
3:48
And then you just let that harden and--
3:50
- [Paula] Wait now, what's a color flow?
3:52
- So you just outline it with the more stiff frosting
3:57
and then you thin some down a little bit
4:00
and then it'll just make you're filling--
4:02
- [Paula] That's what I want for my bottoms stocking.
4:04
- [Shane] Okay.
4:05
- [Betty] Well, I tried to help
4:06
and then you said, no, okay.
4:08
(phone rings)
4:10
- [Paula] Excuse me, I got to answer my son.
4:13
(phone rings)
4:16
- All right, that looks awesome.
4:17
So that would take maybe like a couple hours, you know,
4:21
to get well, if you want really dry
4:26
and then you can put your ornaments
4:27
or your candy canes on there. Decadent Dianne.
4:31
- [Dianne] Do you have to put more icing,
4:32
when you put the ornaments
4:34
on the candy on here will it stick?
4:36
- Yeah, so if you want that to set up
4:38
and then if you wanted to do some...
4:42
what'd you call it, you know, do some (mumbles)
4:44
or if you want to write something
4:45
or people put little ornaments, a candy cane.
4:49
Yeah, so you would add a little bit, yeah.
4:51
- [Shane] Yeah, 'cause it's gonna dry hard.
4:53
- [Dianne] Okay.
4:59
- [Shane] Bingo.
5:00
- [Betty] And then these are our typical faces,
5:01
we usually do.
5:03
- [Shane] Yeah, Betty is good at the faces,
5:04
I don't do the faces because she hollers at me.
5:09
- [Betty] No, and every one of them
5:10
will have like a different expression
5:14
for the most part.
5:17
I mean, but you can make it any way you want.
5:20
Now, I don't have the pink.
5:22
I guess it's always good to set up your station first.
5:26
- Rule number one.
5:28
- Rule number one, Betty.
5:30
This has only been like a 20 hour shift so hold on.
5:33
(Shane chuckles)
5:35
So it's so much fun once you get,
5:38
all your supplies,
5:39
but I just liked doing this and giving them, you know,
5:41
different expressions.
5:43
It really makes them come to life.
5:45
And so this is the one Paula likes, right?
5:48
This would be a caroler maybe.
5:50
- [Shane] Yeah.
5:57
- [Betty] Look at that.
5:58
So those are gonna be so pretty once they're done.
6:01
- [Dianne] Literally, beautiful.
6:04
- [Shane] And just kinda coloring it in.
6:08
- [Betty] We need a little joy to the world too.
6:12
(both chatter)
6:13
(Betty chuckles)
6:16
I'm gonna get out of a lane.
6:18
(Shane mumbles)
6:19
- My hair is in the way?
6:21
- Your hair is in a way, back off Louie.
6:25
- [Eddie] So did you,
6:26
how long did it take you to come up with your look
6:30
that you did?
6:32
- [Betty] You know, I have to say,
6:34
this was really pretty much in the beginning.
6:36
- [Eddie] Right off the bat.
6:36
- We started doing them
6:38
and we were doing like different colored eyes
6:42
and you know what?
6:43
When some people say, "Can I have blue eyes?
6:44
"Can I have brown eyes?"
6:46
But they just,
6:46
there's something a little bit odd about them.
6:48
You know what I mean?
6:49
So this is our signature, our standard.
6:51
We'll give them different hairdos, different hats.
6:53
I mean, we'll do for the, you know,
6:55
for the sports teams and stuff,
6:56
Bruins and Red Sox, Patriots.
7:01
Decadent Diane, any M&M's over there?
7:03
- [Dianne] There are M&M's, you know that's my first name
7:06
so that cookie is probably made for me.
7:08
- [Betty] All right.
7:09
(both chuckle)
7:10
Ginger joy to the world, let's go.
7:14
- [Dianne] Where's my big tray with the--
7:15
- [Eddie] That's great Shane.
7:16
- [Shane] Thank you, thank you.
7:17
- [Betty] Oh, I think we did maybe.
7:18
- [Paula] Oh, they're so pretty but you know what?
7:21
All right, now, where do you get that thing in red?
7:24
- Right here, here.
7:26
- She's got that one.
7:27
- You gotta so you wanna outline this first.
7:30
- [Paula] No, I'm gonna do in solid red.
7:34
- [Shane] Like this? - [Paula] Yes.
7:36
- [Shane] Okay, so you have to outline it first
7:37
and then you can fill it in with this.
7:39
- [Paula] Okay.
7:40
- [Shane] Just to outline.
7:41
- [Paula] That's where I'm not real good at Shane.
7:43
- [Shane] You want me to do it for you?
7:44
- [Paula] No. - [Shane] Okay.
7:45
(all laugh)
7:47
- [Betty] Here, take it down like that,
7:49
like all the way down here and just twist it a little
7:51
and then you could really--
7:53
- [Paula] Yeah, but what about this falling out
7:55
at the other end.
7:56
- [Betty] No, that's okay.
7:57
Just hold that like that.
8:00
- [Paula] See, I'm not steady.
8:02
Shane, would you do that for me, please?
8:04
(all laugh)
8:05
- [Shane] No.
8:06
(all laugh)
8:08
- I'm just not steady.
8:10
- All right, so we're just gonna--
8:11
- [Dianne] I think somebody ate all the M&M's.
8:14
- [Eddie] There on the tray here.
8:15
- [Betty] Oh, here, yeah.
8:16
- [Paula] And see that's the secret, not stopping.
8:18
I mean, once you start, you just go.
8:20
- [Shane] You can take this
8:21
and just fill that in real easily.
8:24
- [Paula] Oh yeah, real easily.
8:26
(Paula chuckles)
8:27
- [Shane] It's just like coloring.
8:28
- [Betty] Ask the pro, yeah.
8:29
- [Shane] Just like coloring.
8:31
I'm gonna do a small tip on this one.
8:35
- Okay, one second for the eyeballs.
8:36
- [Shane] I'm gonna take this one.
8:38
- Okay.
8:40
- [Paula] It seems like I could fill this thing
8:42
with a spoon now.
8:44
- Yeah. You could put it in there with the spoon, actually
8:47
and just smooth it out like that.
8:49
- [Paula] Yeah.
8:56
I'm scranning.
8:59
That's scranning for straining.
9:02
(both laugh)
9:04
Dookie,
9:06
- [Dianne] Let me just grab a spoon
9:07
- [Paula] Dookie, dookie, dookie.
9:09
- [Shane] You can do it with the tip of this Paula.
9:11
- [Paula] I'm looking for my (mumbles) spreader.
9:12
- [Betty] She's got a little spreader over there.
9:14
- [Shane] Oh, okay.
9:17
- Yeah, I'm just, I'm not,
9:20
I have found that I'm just not that steady anymore.
9:23
- [Shane] Okay.
9:25
- You know, it comes with getting older, I think.
9:29
- [Shane] No.
9:30
- Yes, I think it does.
9:33
All right now, I want my red to go down,
9:39
I want it to cover.
9:42
Yes, this works good.
9:46
All right, I'm gonna set him up there and let him kinda dry.
9:49
- [Shane] Well...
9:50
(both laugh)
9:53
- [Paula] All right, I wanna see what everybody's doing.
9:56
- [Shane] I'm gonna do...
9:57
- [Dianne] Oh, that's pretty, I like that.
9:58
- [Shane] I have a--
9:59
- [Paula] Let's see what y'all are doing, that's petty.
10:01
- [Dianne] I'm decorating the Christmas trees.
10:01
- [Paula] Oh my gosh, look at that ornament.
10:05
- [Dianne] That's beautiful.
10:05
- Did you do that Shane?
10:06
- I did. - [Betty] Sugar Shane.
10:08
- I did. - It's beautiful.
10:09
- Look at that y'all.
10:13
This boy has got talent.
10:15
- Well, I got something.
10:17
- [Eddie] Do a ballerina for--
10:19
- A ballerina, can you do a ballerina?
10:21
- Okay, go ahead.
10:22
(both chuckle)
10:25
- You could do look pink ballet shoes.
10:26
- All right, ready, do you wanna do it?
10:29
- No, but I would love for you to teach me.
10:31
All right, let's see if we can do this--
10:33
- [Paula] All right, that's her dress.
10:35
She needs a tutu.
10:37
- [Betty] Oh, and you can maybe put some sugar
10:39
on the tutu.
10:40
- [Paula] Yes, okay.
10:41
- [Betty] Maybe we can fill a little white in there.
10:43
- Okay, you want me to wait on the sugar?
10:47
(group chatters)
10:49
- [Betty] So instead of doing the color flow--
10:51
- [Paula] I need two like that.
10:52
- [Betty] Okay.
10:54
- [Paula] All right, I'm grabbing this one.
10:56
- [Betty] So instead of the color flow,
10:57
if you just wanna do it a little quicker,
10:59
you can do it like this.
11:02
- [Paula] Oh, it's so cute.
11:03
You ready for me to sugar it now?
11:07
'Cause if that stuff gets hard,
11:08
the sugar won't hold, will it?
11:10
- [Betty] Exactly.
11:14
You can tell you've done this before, Ms. Paula.
11:17
(group chatters)
11:18
- [Paula] Not very much, honey.
11:19
- [Betty] And what of the names on 'em?
11:21
You wanna put names on 'em?
11:22
- [Paula] Yes. - [Betty] Okay,
11:23
we have another,
11:23
can you pass me one more medium please?
11:25
- How would Ollie spell her name,
11:26
do you think Eddie?
11:27
O-L-L-I-E?
11:30
- [Eddie] Yeah, I would think.
11:31
- Yeah, her name is Olivia.
11:33
- Oh, okay.
11:34
- [Paula] But you know, we call her Ollie
11:36
or...
11:38
- [Eddie] I haven't really seen,
11:39
how Claudia would write it down.
11:41
- [Paula] I think it's O-L-L-I-E.
11:45
All right, now, that red is off of there.
11:49
And then I need a little boy for Davis.
11:52
- [Dianne] I love that. - [Betty] Okay.
11:54
- [Shane] There we go, a snow globe.
11:56
- [Dianne] It's a snow globe, I love it.
11:58
- [Betty] Oh, it's sweet.
12:01
- [Paula] Look Eddie.
12:03
(group laughs)
12:03
- [Dianne] You're gonna do a snowflake.
12:05
- But look, when you hang him he's gonna be upside down.
12:09
- You don't hang a snow globe
12:10
that's his little stand there.
12:12
- Oh. (both laugh)
12:15
- [Dianne] You eat the cookie.
12:16
That's cute.
12:17
- Ain't that adorable.
12:19
- You want this one a snowflake?
12:20
- Shane, I just love your imagination.
12:22
- [Dianne] Make a snowflake. - [Shane] Well...
12:23
- [Paula] All right. - [Betty] Well--
12:25
- [Shane] Thank you.
12:26
- [Paula] I'm taking all the gingerbread.
12:27
- [Shane] Take 'em all.
12:28
- So busy having fun I forgot.
12:32
- [Shane] We're supposed to be teaching something?
12:33
- Oh my goodness, no, so the consistency is key.
12:36
So you know what?
12:37
They were just doing with the color flow.
12:38
So we add a little water so you could spread it around
12:41
so it will dry nicely
12:43
but then you need a thicker frosting to do the names
12:46
and to do the writing.
12:47
And this tip is number two, it's just finer circle tip.
12:53
But then they go from like 10 down to one, yeah.
12:57
And so this is the thinnest line.
12:59
And who's the next little girl?
13:01
- [Paula] Millie.
13:02
- [Betty] M-I-L-L-I-E.
13:04
- [Paula] And you could put it down there,
13:06
if that would be easier for you.
13:08
(both murmur)
13:15
- [Dianne] That's cute.
13:16
- [Betty] Okey-dokey, Millie.
13:17
(Shane chatters)
13:19
- [Paula] Oh, that just amazes me the way you can write.
13:23
- [Shane] And the black hair on this one too Paula?
13:25
- [Dianne] No, he has blonde hair.
13:26
- [Paula] No he's blonde.
13:27
- [Shane] Oh boy.
13:28
(group chatters)
13:32
- [Dianne] Maybe you can do a hat on him.
13:34
- [Shane] Yup, a hat, he can have a hat.
13:37
- [Paula] They've taking ballet at three
13:39
and they'll be having their recital.
13:41
- [Betty] Oh, that's sweet.
13:42
- [Paula] I'm gonna try to go and not scream with laughter.
13:46
'Cause they're gonna be so damn cute.
13:48
- [Betty] Oh, they'll love seeing you in the crowd.
13:52
- [Shane] Look at that.
13:54
- [Dianne] Oh, I think that's cute.
13:55
- [Shane] Betty, is it approved, Paula?
13:57
- [Dianne] Look at this one, Paula look at this one.
13:59
- [Paula] Look at the heart, let's see.
14:01
- [Eddie] Yes.
14:02
(Paula groans)
14:03
(group chatters)
14:06
- Look he wrote it in white and then the green
14:09
on top, I love it.
14:11
- [Betty] I love that, make it pop.
14:13
- And look it has a hat on.
14:14
- He's got a hat 'cause we didn't have any blonde hair.
14:16
- Millie's gingerbread girl
14:19
and this is Ollie's gingerbread girl.
14:22
- So we can call her Marshmallow Millie,
14:25
- Marshmallow Millie.
14:26
- And Ollie, what's an O?
14:30
Oh boy, Oh boy Ollie.
14:33
(both laugh)
14:35
- I love it that's going for him.
14:38
- [Paula] Perfect, he is gonna adore it.
14:43
- [Dianne] That's cute, that's cute.
14:44
(group chatters)
14:47
- His Christmas suit and his "Batman" mask.
14:49
(all laugh)
14:52
- [Paula] If I had a thought, we could've put a cape on him
14:54
but-- - [Shane] That is funny.
14:56
- Look how cute and I love the way Ollie's looking up.
15:01
See she's looking up she that way.
15:02
(Paula chuckles)
15:04
Saying "What's the matter with y'all."
15:08
And Linton, one of the triplets, wears his "Batman" mask,
15:13
24 hours a day.
15:15
Seems like Claudia told me he has to have it in his bed,
15:19
when he goes to bed.
15:23
So he's gonna love that.
15:25
We'll have another stocking
15:29
that we can do
15:31
and we can do that for the grandchildren
15:34
and just put their name on it that'd be precious.
15:37
- And this one is for who?
15:38
This boy is for Davis?
15:41
- [Paula] Yes, or Bennett.
15:45
(Shane chatters)
15:47
- [Betty] And they all around here.
15:48
- [Paula] Yes. Sullivan's the only one missing.
15:55
All right.
15:57
- [Eddie] So you do cookie parties at your shop.
16:00
- We do, well, we stopped for COVID during COVID
16:03
but it's starting to roll back.
16:07
So we just did a little bit of renovations and things.
16:10
So it's really tough to do them around the holidays,
16:13
we might start it back up in January
16:14
because we're just so busy.
16:18
- [Paula] Yes.
16:19
- Yeah, the kids love having their parties in there
16:22
and it really, they're so creative too.
16:25
- Listen, isn't it that wonderful
16:28
that they do have such wonderful imaginations.
16:35
Look at this one that they made.
16:39
So Betty, you can order these cookies naked
16:42
from you, right? - Exactly.
16:44
- And then all grandma's can have the grandchildren over
16:49
and get all the stuff
16:51
for them to decorate their own cookie, right?
16:53
- And I would suggest putting down trash bags or whatever--
16:57
- News papers, spreading out news papers.
17:00
- And then they just wrap it all up--
17:00
- 'Cause some counters will soak up the dye.
17:03
- Exactly.
17:05
Yeah, but they have so much fun.
17:07
- All right, now, where would people find a recipe
17:11
for the icing?
17:14
- So you can, I mean, there's recipes online
17:16
and basically all it is is sugar, egg whites
17:19
and a little lemon or cream of tartar
17:21
or you can also get meringue powder
17:24
but they can just look up online
17:25
and they'll get your basic recipe.
17:27
- You can find the recipe there.
17:28
- [Eddie] So do you sell your,
17:30
like when you order your kit, would you get icing?
17:34
- Yeah, we do sell it.
17:35
We sell it in the bags like this
17:36
and then we sell it in the quarts or the buckets.
17:38
- Oh, that's good to know. - Yeah.
17:40
- So you don't even have to make the icing,
17:42
you can just order everything from you, which is wonderful.
17:45
And remember it is gingerbreadbetty.com
17:50
to get to her website.
17:52
- [Eddie] Is it Ginger Betty?
17:53
- Just gingerbettys.com.
17:54
- Oh did I say gingerbread?
17:56
- She's thinking of bread again.
17:58
(both chuckle)
17:59
- I love bread, gingerbettys.com.
18:03
So this is great, this is great.
18:07
I'm so gonna order these for the grandchildren
18:11
because Brooke, my daughter-in-law, on every Christmas,
18:15
she'll say, "Now, we gonna get together
18:17
"and let the kids decorate cookies, aren't we?"
18:20
So I'm gonna tell her, "Yes, we're gonna do it this year
18:23
"but we're gonna do it the easy way.
18:25
"They're all coming from Ginger Betty."
18:29
- Oh, look at, nice.
18:31
- I did it.
18:32
- [Shane] You got it.
18:33
- I just got to keep the bread out of there.
18:36
- You know, but it's nice
18:37
and they make good stock and like neat stuff,
18:40
stocking stuff first and people would tie them onto a gift
18:43
and, you know, doing gift baskets.
18:45
And then you can just write their name
18:46
and tie onto a gift, you know, or the basket.
18:49
So it's fun.
18:50
- That is so cute. Now, who is this one for?
18:52
- [Betty] We have to write his, whose name is that?
18:54
- [Paula] Who are you down there?
18:57
- [Shane] I don't have--
18:57
- [Eddie] Did you do Davis?
18:58
- [Shane] I didn't do Davis.
19:00
I did Bennett on that other one.
19:02
- [Eddie] Oh, that one's great with the red shirt
19:04
because you can do it like Georgia colors.
19:08
- [Paula] Yes.
19:10
We can do that for Jack.
19:12
- [Betty] Ginger Jack?
19:13
- [Paula] Mm-hmm.
19:14
- [Shane] We need one for Davis now?
19:16
- [Paula] Yeah, we need one for Davis
19:18
and we can do him a stocking.
19:20
- [Shane] Okay.
19:21
- [Dianne] Well, that is little ginger people.
19:24
- [Shane] I have another regular size.
19:25
- [Betty] And who is this, for Jack?
19:27
- [Paula] That's for Jack.
19:29
- [Betty] Okay, how old is Jack?
19:31
- [Paula] 15.
19:33
- [Shane] Wow.
19:34
- [Paula] He's my oldest grandchild.
19:38
- [Shane] Okay. - [Paula] Oh my goodness,
19:39
look at the snowman.
19:41
- [Dianne] The snowman's cute.
19:41
- [Paula] Did you do that?
19:42
- [Dianne] I did not, Shane did.
19:43
- [Shane] That's a Betty, that's a Betty.
19:45
- Is that a Betty? - Yup.
19:46
- The snowman's cute.
19:48
I do love the Christmas trees.
19:51
- I do too. But I think the snowflakes,
19:56
are absolutely gorgeous.
19:58
- [Dianne] I love the snowflakes.
20:00
- The simplicity.
20:02
- Yes. - Of 'em.
20:03
- Sometimes it's simple.
20:06
- [Paula] But that snowman, he might be my favorite.
20:09
- [Dianne] Well, you want somebody's name on that one?
20:12
- [Paula] Can we get a name on it?
20:14
- [Both] Yep.
20:15
- [Dianne] It'll be right in there.
20:15
- [Shane] I can run it big over it.
20:17
- [Paula] How about Maddie?
20:18
- [Dianne] Okay.
20:19
- [Shane] M-A-T-T-I-E or D-D?
20:22
- [Eddie] No, M-A-T-T--
20:25
- [Paula] Madison, it's Madison so it should--
20:27
- [Eddie] Oh, not Mathew.
20:29
(Eddie chuckles)
20:30
- Madison, can you do the whole--
20:33
- M-A-D-I-S-O-N?
20:35
- Mm-hmm. - [Shane] Okay.
20:36
- Listen, this has been so incredible.
20:40
It's been so much fun.
20:42
I don't want the three of y'all to leave.
20:46
- [Betty] We'll really stay if you twist our arm.
20:49
- Your arm.
20:50
- I'm just saying.
20:51
- You know you couldn't leave your business that long.
20:53
- Oh my gosh, all right, let me work on that.
20:56
(both chuckle)
20:57
- [Paula] Well, you have just been so delightful to be with
21:02
and your sidekicks, our friends Diane and Shane,
21:06
y'all were wonderful.
21:09
- [Shane] It's been a fun day.
21:10
- [Betty] How much fun is this.
21:11
- [Paula] It has been so fun, okay.
21:13
- [Betty] I think she's towering over the house.
21:16
She should maybe be coming--
21:17
- I have eaten and now I'm bigger than the house.
21:21
Bigger than the house.
21:22
- And for the record she did a good job
21:24
and she put on her own earrings.
21:26
Shane, can you get a picture of us, please?
21:27
- [Eddie] Paula she's got your hair down pretty good there.
21:29
- I know, do you think you could fix my hair
21:33
if (mumbles) can't be with me?
21:34
(both chuckle)
21:37
So I want y'all to see what they have done.
21:43
There is 12 gingerbread cookies
21:47
on this tray
21:50
with each grandchild's name on it.
21:55
And the Christmas tree is extra for Matty Deen
21:59
because somehow we got him with a little tiny gingerbread
22:05
and that child does love him a cookie.
22:09
So he gets a bonus Christmas tree.
22:12
But so that's Bennett and Maddie May,
22:18
Ollie, Linton.
22:20
Look, Linton wears his "Batman" mask 24 hours a day.
22:24
So look, he's gingerbread man's wearing a "Batman" mask.
22:29
And that is Millie and this is Sullivan that's Jack
22:35
and who is that one I'm trying--
22:37
- [Eddie] Matty.
22:38
- [Paula] Matty, yeah, Matty with a little cookie
22:40
and who is this one?
22:42
- [Eddie] Davis.
22:42
- [Paula] Davis, so Davis is like 18 or 19 months.
22:46
So he'll love that.
22:48
- [Eddie] Then John and Henry.
22:49
- [Paula] And this is Henry.
22:52
Now, where is John's, oh, oh, John got a little cookie too.
22:56
So I'll have to fix him up.
22:58
- [Betty] Here's another stocking right there for him.
23:01
- [Paula] Yes. Okay, that sounds good.
23:02
So John, you get an extra too.
23:05
(both chuckle)
23:06
Y'all know y'all can have anything your grandma's got.
23:10
(Paula chuckles)
23:13
So how cute so you can order these fully decorated
23:18
from Ginger Betty or you can order them naked.
23:23
- Right, the gingerbread cookie kits, yeah.
23:26
- Which would be just so much fun for your children
23:29
or grandchildren.
23:30
Or for even yourself, if you're a kid at heart,
23:33
which I still am.
23:36
- Absolutely.
23:37
- So I've just had so much fun with you.
23:40
Now, we have actually done three videos,
23:42
together today, right?
23:45
And I hope you only enjoyed every one of 'em.
23:48
But the most important thing is,
23:50
I want y'all to know what a grand girl this is.
23:56
She loves her country, she loves her job,
24:00
what she gives to everybody.
24:03
And my last question to you, Betty,
24:06
is what do you want people to know?
24:10
What you really want people to know?
24:13
- Well, I mean, I think for the upcoming season
24:15
and, is just to get into the spirit,
24:18
spirit of giving and just to remember your child self
24:21
and really to celebrate the magic of Christmas, if you will
24:26
and it is the time of giving.
24:28
So we have a foundation which is near and dear to my heart
24:33
and we ship cookies out to our military men and women
24:35
for keeping us free.
24:37
So we get to celebrate the holidays.
24:39
So if you have a special soldier in mind,
24:42
you can call us and we could take down the information
24:45
and make sure they get a package shipped out to them.
24:48
And it's nice because the kids that come in also,
24:51
the kids in the neighborhood,
24:52
they write letters to the soldiers.
24:53
So we put cookies in with the letters with some candy
24:57
and they just really love getting a piece of home.
25:00
- Oh, that's wonderful.
25:02
Because I would venture out and go out on a limb to say,
25:07
there are probably a lot of service men and women
25:10
that don't receive any mail.
25:12
And that would be very, very sad.
25:14
So this time of year,
25:17
we're always mindful of giving
25:21
and the other person out there, the other people.
25:25
But then after the Christmas season's over,
25:27
we get back into our daily,
25:31
- The daily grind of things, yeah.
25:32
- Yes the daily grind of making a living
25:34
and raising children and cooking and cleaning.
25:37
So we need to remind ourselves
25:41
that we can do things like this
25:42
for our service men and women, you know,
25:45
all through the year.
25:46
- All year long, yeah, they appreciate it.
25:48
- Well, you have just been a joy to my heart
25:53
to be with you and to be with Shane and to be with Diane,
25:56
our live studio audience.
25:58
(Betty cheers)
26:00
And sometimes workers.
26:02
(group laughs)
26:05
- [Shane] Yup, it's been fun.
26:06
- [Betty] It's awesome.
26:07
And this is what sharing cookies
26:08
and making friends is all about.
26:10
So this has just been a super treat for me,
26:13
also to reconnect with Sugar Shane and Decadent Dianne
26:18
and what a joy we call it ginger joy.
26:20
- Yes, ginger joy.
26:22
You know what? The only thing I haven't done,
26:24
is I have not tasted the gingerbread cookie yet.
26:28
- On your mark, get set, go.
26:30
(both chuckle)
26:34
(group chuckles)
26:35
- Somebody ate the top of a tree.
26:37
(both chuckle)
26:39
- You want to take a bite of that?
26:42
- There Peppermint Paula.
26:44
- Peppermint Paula Butter Deen.
26:46
All right, perfect.
26:48
- Delicious.
26:52
- I think we need some Eggnog Ed to wash that down.
26:54
- I know, who wants some drink?
26:56
- [Shane] Uh-oh.
