Coleen Christian Burke
White House decorator and author Coleen Christian Burke recalls how she campaigned for the coveted job over the course of four whole years! After working with multiple first ladies on bringing each year's holiday theme to life, Coleen has concluded that "The First Lady is the Commander in Chief of Christmas." In the Obama administration, it is Bo the First Dog who gives his final paw of approval! Coleen also shares examples of Michelle Obama's gingerbread crafts and teaches us to make Betty Ford's famous cranberry tree.
John C. McGinley
"Ground Floor" actor John C. McGinley gets pumped up shooting in front of a live studio audience on the same stage as interiors of the classic film "Casablanca" were shot. With complete creative freedom to develop his character's persona, John wrote a 20-page document he calls "Mansfield Manifesto" to give the show's writing staff as a tool. Off camera, John is busy raising three children, one of whom has Down syndrome. It's because of this diagnosis that he actively raises money on behalf of the Global Down Syndrome Foundation. For a special bonus message from John, please visit
www.facebook.com/HomeandFamilyShow.
"Ground Floor" airs Thursdays on TBS at 10/9c.

Matt Rogers' No-Sew DIY T-Shirt Blanket
Matt Rogers sorted through his T-shirt collection and discovered some with sentimental value that he doesn't wear any longer. So, he found a way to turn them into a no-sew blanket. He cuts the T-shirt into a square, sprays the back with fabric adhesive, and then presses it on the blanket with an extremely hot iron. Less than $30 later, you've got yourself a new blanket to snuggle under! Head on over to our Facebook page at
www.facebook.com/HomeandFamilyShow for a special message from Matt.
