Hi 'Morning Express' viewers!

Posted: 10:04 PM ET

"News To Me" host Eric Lanford opened one of his presents early this year... and he picked the one from Robin Meade! He's pretty hard to buy for, but somehow she picked the PERFECT gift: extra exposure! Yep, in addition to the usual weekend run, Robin is giving us 30 minutes of "Morning Express" for a few days. "News To Me" will be on at 6:30 in the morning on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the day after Christmas (all times Eastern) right after a special edition of "Not Just Another Cable News Show."

We've put together a great episode of "News To Me" for these extra airings... it's a best-of the best-of HLN's spotlight on citizen journalism, viral video and Web culture. If you are a "Morning Express" viewer who is new to our show, this is a great way to get a feel for what we do every weekend!

So big thanks to Robin for the awesome present... it's just what we wanted!
