Topic : Talk About the Show

 Hi Dr. Phil,

       I watched your Christmas giveaway show today. Although I was happy for the people who received those gifts, I could not help but think of all the people watching who will not have a Christmas this year.Me included. If all those companies can give that much away why not spread it around the country?  All my children are grown and I have grandchildren now . This is the first year I can't get them a gift. They all understand. The factoy where I worked closed and I did find another job, but their work is slow so I don't always get a full week in so I struggle to pay monthly bills. This year my kid's and grandkids are getting my thoughts and memories of them typed and put in a frame. It's not much but that's not what Christmas is supposed to be about. I just kept thinking while I watched your show if those companies that donated gifts just gave five more each and sent them around to different states to agencies that know of people that need things that would help some families out so much, I am fortunate not to have had to use the agencies yet.  I am just glad to have a roof over my head. at least for this month. A person never knows.

One day you have a good job and money in the bank, the next you can be jobless and broke.

I often watch your show and how you dilgently accomany Robin off every day.  That is a wonder committment and I commend you for that.  You were fortunate enough to have your wife, daughter-in-law and sons walk off with you yesterday but I was very disappointed that you did not escort your lovely mother off the stage with you.  Perhaps it was mobility problems, I don't know and is none of my business but for all of the Christmas story endings that are heart-filling at this time of year - that would of really made me proud of you.

Merry Christmas to all of your family and keep up the great work.  The best thing in life is a smile on a child's face (anytime of year).

Dear Dr. Phil and Robin

I really enjoyed your show today on the extremes of Christmas. What really disturbed me about the show was that no one mentioned the real reason of the celebration of Christmas.  Christmas is an annual festival of the Christian church commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ and an occasion for exchanging gifts.  Everyone gets court up in the giving and the receiving and no one acknowledges the reason for it all.  (The birth of Jesus)  Maybe next year someone just might focus on the real reason of the holyday and not so must on Santa Claus.

         Thank you,

Hi there:

I am a mother of 4, but at the time of the "incident" I was a mother of 2 boys and one on the way.  My husband and his friend decided to spend a day shopping for gift.  I was so excited that he would take that time and energy to look for something for me....

Much to my surprise on Christmas morning I rushed to open my gift.....

It was a ....get ready for it...

A BEARD AND MUSTASHE TRIMMER

Yep, that is right.  After several minutes of being appealed and a little concerned that I must be missing something about my hygiene....we were getting ready to go to his families for dinner, .....he asked me if I could SHAVE HIS NECK!!!!!

UGH!!!!

Grandma Claus needs a mental check up.  Tell her to use the money to help unfortunate children celebrate the real spirit of Christmas - Jesus Christ.  It is because of people like Grandma Claus that individuals who are not familiar with Jesus Christ are so resistant to him. So sad. So sad.   

I was wondering if anybody can help me . My girlfriends loves Dr Phil, see really loves the song that leads the show off. I am trying to get it for her for christmas, Can anybody tell me the title to it and who sings it ?
