Great video Nancy Thankyou. As I’ve said I don’t get out much so this is great❤❤❤

You are so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!! ❤️

My dad would always play “it’s a wonderful life” around this time of year. Its been years since I’ve played watched it. Craig what are you most excited for in 2025?

[@cassiephilbrick1762]

Great video ❤❤ I enjoyed seeing all the stores in the mall 😊I remember going to Pottery Barn ,one of my moms favorite stores ❤ Have a great day, sweet family ❤❤😊

Thanks Jolie! Have a great day!! ❤️

Mmm, it looks so delicious 4:09 😋

[@erika8627]

It's so sad when restaurants take away your favorite dishes. Olive Garden nixed the Chicken Vino Bianco dish which I LOVED! I'm still sad about it, and it's been years! LOL. Looks like a nice lunch, guys! It was so fun seeing the mall near you. The mall near us is really sad. It's still alive but barely. I remember when Filene's opened in the 90's and it was THE place to be. Good times. And I'm with you on The Pottery Barn. Gorgeous! But totally out of my price range. Still - fun to look!

[@ourdailyview]

I’m glad I got to enjoy the malls of the 80’s and 90’s. Wonderful memories!

[@KrisTheBatSpider21]

I know you're way older than me but I was born in July 1978 and I was up there right there with the error of those years I know what you mean great memories. sometimes change sucks but it's part of life😢

[@kathywendt4881]

Hello Craig and family! Great video. My husband and I were in Des Moines last week to watch our daughter in the state dance team competition. We always make a stop at the Jordan Creek Mall. Have a wonderful day. 😊

[@ourdailyview]

That sounds like a fun day! 😊

I’m glad I found your content again 😊

Me too!! 😊

We had 50’s weather here in Michigan for a while longer than normal but now it’s 19 degrees and we got Snow!!!! Our power went out over night sure glad it came back on! And enjoying watching your videos!

[@ourdailyview]

We woke up to snow and cold this morning too! Sounds like we’re in for some dicey weather this weekend. I’m glad You’re enjoying the videos! ❤️

Once again you made my day. 😊😊😊

I believe you when you said Craig is struggling with food addiction. Right away when you were done eating lunch, he was asking what was for dinner. I think about food all the time too.

[@ourdailyview]

I think it’s common with people on the spectrum. I get it though. I have had my own struggles with food. It’s not really something that can be cured. But I have been able to be a little more sensible in the past year. It’s been easier for me to stop. But Craig isn’t wired like a lot of people. It’s very hard for him and I think “dieting “ has made it worse. Now it seems like when he’s allowed eat what he wants he is panic eating for lack of a better term. I think we’re making some progress though.

[@dmotta2811]

@ thank you so much for explaining that.

[@deniseweimer323]

I haven’t been there for years. But when my granddaughter was little we went there and they gave her a fresh dough ball and she made it the shape of a bear and they baked it for her. So cool and fun. And she ate it too! Great food.

[@ourdailyview]

That is such a sweet story! 😊 the waiters and waitresses were so kind to Craig when we used to go all the time 😊

[@joecamel8182]

The big malls are a thing of the past. Same in Michigan

[@KrisTheBatSpider21]

Yeah especially for me in Ohio these kids ain't going to know what it's like in the future to go to the mall and go to the toy store and be all happy I hate to see these malls get shut down someday because of online shopping but uhhh....

[@ourdailyview]

I’m still hoping for a comeback 😊

[@MakeKrylonGreatAgain]

I love me some italiano food! il cibo italiano è il miglior cibo!

[@MakeKrylonGreatAgain]

Im a bit biased being from Italian decent , but I’m happy Craig loves the lasagna!

[@ourdailyview]

Me too! 😊

[@ourdailyview]

❤️❤️❤️

[@LucyGirl-61]

The cheesecake was my favorite too ❤

[@ourdailyview]

Craig loves it! 😊

[@MakeKrylonGreatAgain]

Have you or Craig ever tried a margherita pizza? That’s one of my favorites, if you can find a restaurant who cooks it in a wood fired oven it’s bellissimo!

[@ourdailyview]

We have not! 😊

[@bretielbetshmuel9068]

craig just had a big lunch and is already thinking about dinner, is there a way to maybe consult a dietician as well about his eating habits? make it a new years resolution to get him back on his diet (if he is not already), thanks for sharing and merry christmas

[@ourdailyview]

We’re working on it. It’s not easy. But we’re working on limited snacking. That’s where he has the most trouble.

[@KrisTheBatSpider21]

Oh man I can imagine him being cranky so not good but I'm sure y'all can handle it.

[@bretielbetshmuel9068]

@@ourdailyview oh i totally get, snacking is a hard habit to work on. and im sure with it being the holiday season it's easier to overeat

[@joelthompson4303]

Calypso was at Valley West Mall for years and was way bigger and better then. It was on the upper level by Younkers on the Northwest side.

[@ourdailyview]

Thank you! 😊

Would be cool to see him in public someday

[@wendyross7206]

Great idea teaching Craig to wat slower taking smaller bites I wishbi cld teach my husband to do that 😀 p.s Nancy I love your jacket 💛💛💛💛 looks fab 👍👍👍👍

Thank you 😊❤️

Hi Craig! What is on your Christmas wishlist this year? Love the channel!

[@ourdailyview]

He asked for vintage Disney DVDS 😊

[@crownapplekid7966]

I hope Craig got my Christmas card

[@ourdailyview]

He did get some cards. They will be in the next video 😊

[@xenawarriorprincess4411]

Nancy you’re so sweet. Don’t listen to negative comments. You obviously are doing what’s best for Craig at all times. You are a lovely family!

[@ourdailyview]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@deborahrandall43]

What does Craig want from Santa?

[@ourdailyview]

He never asks for a lot. He wants a couple of vintage Disney DVDs and MAD magazines 😊

[@deborahrandall43]

@@ourdailyview Sometimes I envy him not having the worries of everyday life...Just wondering where that next lasagna is coming from..LOL...He's a treasure ❤️

[@OursonAaron302]

Hello!!!😀😀😀

[@ourdailyview]

Hello!!❤️❤️❤️

[@AmyBethB]

Tell him to chew each bite 20x before swallowing. His gut will think him as well.

[@KrisTheBatSpider21]

See and some people say that Craig doesn't eat his vegetables look he eating a salad I bet lettuce is more healthier than maybe Tomatoes but I could be wrong I love salads too but I'm weird I eat it without dressing. Lol

[@ourdailyview]

❤️❤️❤️

[@DawnWebb007]

See's lollypop's are the best thing they have....well and the toffee. The rest does not impress me much.

[@dmotta2811]

The California brittle is the best. I don’t know if they have it back there.

[@DawnWebb007]

@@dmotta2811 Oh yes, that is good

[@ourdailyview]

We may have to try some! 😊

[@hannahwhitson7130]

My son eats really really fast and a lot of times he gets acid reflux so we have to watch it

[@ourdailyview]

It’s a struggle and I hate feeling like I’m constantly telling Craig that he needs to change the way he eats. I feel like I would get mad if someone was constantly critiquing me. But I also know it’s for his own good. 😊

[@KrisTheBatSpider21]

​​@@ourdailyviewit's the mother in you but the last thing you want to do is to see your son be hurt and cry but somehow you don't have any other choice you'll do what you to set us kids straight my mom and grandma taught me that and hopefully for Craig too from you

Try adding salt to the oil dip. Brings it up a notch.

[@ourdailyview]

That’s a great idea! I’ll have to try that next time! 😊

[@jaydenmoore9503]

Awesome video ❤😊 Joke time for Craig this is a Christmas joke What did Santa 🎅 say when the reindeer was being sassy ??? Don’t be rude-olph! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ourdailyview]

😂😂😂that’s a great joke!

[@joecamel8182]

We have lost all of our Hallmark stores but One. Had 5 or 6 for a long time in our town.

[@ourdailyview]

That’s sad to hear ❤️

[@SoberCatMan]

Hey Nancy, you ever thought about just feeding Craig 1 meal a month? You should also try pushing him to doing a 6 hour workout daily. Try limiting his snacks to twice a year. The chemicals in some of them can be really detrimental to the possibility of him having kids in the future. Lastly, try using a shock collar on him while in public. His sudden outburts can then be prevented, which would make the economy more sustainable. This comment is clearly a joke. Just noticed a lot of criticism lately in some videos about Craig and his health. I know you do your best. 😇

[@ourdailyview]

😂😂😂😂 thanks for the laugh❤️

[@dabombbolain]

Great stuff here is a new Christmas joke where do Santa’s elf keep there money in a snow bank of course 😊
