and in front of it to nearly block the view of the tree sending people into a tizzy. people have been calling her materialistic a bragger. she's firing back saying do not judge then her kids are not spoiled. first, she says that is her personal picture and it has been spread all over the internet without her knowledge or permission. she's also a coupon blogger and says all of this was done on a budget and that she's been documenting the deals all year. she says these gifts are for the whole family not just for the kids and that she's also been getting messages from people wanting her savings tips. she also says remember, this is about three little children their christmas, their tree, so read between the lines. mind your own business is basically what she's saying there. and it is hanukkah and with the holiday season upon us there's no shortage of ads to inspire shoppers, right but there's one in particular that

has a lot of people talking especially those who speak hebrew. let's just say it's a pretty funny not funny kind of editing oops. this is the ad lord and taylor took out in last sunday's new york times t it says happy hanukkah. wishing you a year of light and love with the words happy hanukkah written above in it hebrew. well, that's at least what 33 thought it said. you see there is just a teeniest little misspelling in the hebrew so apparently it reads the tag of her earlobe that died. copy editing fail but what they meant to say was happy hanukkah. so, we'll take the intention there. there's a tongue in cheek blog going viral for another holiday season and it's poking fun at the way advertisers are marketing gifts for women in women's magazines. author mary laura fill pot writes a blog i miss when you blink and people are sharing

her blog called how to be a lady person at the holidays. 10 important tips. again, like crazy people love this one and to be a girl in december she jokes stay cozy wear a baby she laughs if you play your cards right your sensitive goateed guy will reward you with a pair of socks made out of his extra sweater sleeves. if you're truly hot you won't get cold joking wear a coat over your party outfit just drag it along behind you in the snow and use the oil on your legs to fuel warm thoughts. we're not actually sure what that was an ad for but now to this one. do a sports thing, that's funny she laughs. be bold, have short hair like this woman and do something sports see while also wearing your purse as an under garment. and finally, no pants. what? just a turtleneck on a breezy day. ignore the voice of reason. this joke is just as funny as it is impractical.

poking a little fun at all those ads that still get people to go shopping regardless. >> it's all about advertising this time of year. >> alicia thanks very much. let's get another check of the roads. >> let's head over to matt pelman in the "action news" traffic center with the update. >> speaking of shopping a lot of people are doing that right here this time of year we're live brian and sharrie along 202 right by the king of prussia mall in case you're keeping track. 10 and a few hours left, 10 days and a few hours left until christmas, so get those last minute gifts and while you're doing so watch out for a crash along 202 northbound right by the court at king of prussia. you can see traffic coming northbound away from the schuylkill toward norristown, it's getting by but there is the accident there with police on the scene. also have a crash in the pottstown area partially blocking the ramp from armand hammer boulevard to the westbound side of 422 so it's causing some slowing in the main lanes of 422 westbound just 12 miles per hour. you might be better off heading west on 724 this afternoon instead. this is the roosevelt boulevard in east falls.

got some blinkers on, accident off to the side and northbound lane just north of the ridge avenue on-ramp. it's extra heavy as you come off the schuylkill expressway and head towards that accident scene. on the schuylkill and 95 just normal afternoon delays. in port richmond richmond street still is not opened. now we're hearing until tomorrow afternoon it will remain closed for the setting of the new beams along 95. on 295 had a crash a little bit ago in the southbound lanes at woolwich road. it's gone there with speeds in the 20's and still that bad accident in winslow camden blocking off williamstown road. new brooklyn road or 73 are alternates for the next couple hours. delays on the regional railings as well. we'll talk about them brian and sharrie in the 5 o'clock hour. >> see you then matt. thank you very much. meteorologist adam joseph scouring the model looking for some semblance of winter-like weather. he thinks he might have found some. >> yeah? >> details coming up next.

introducing longhorn's turf and surf. the new lobster hollandaise filet. the new renegade sirloin & lobster & shrimp scampi. or flo's filet & lobster tail. only at longhorn steakhouse. you cant fake steak.

>> let's do it. meteorologist adam joseph joining us now looking at the seven-day forecast and there is at least, at least. >> at least one. >> hint. >> one hint of winter day in there. maybe two if you are looking at very, very closely, yeah, not much in the way of cold as we go into the next week. as we look right now at the action cam which is on the temple university campus, i know the leaves came down a little late this year but shouldn't they have all been picked up by now? you would think, wouldn't you? a big pile of levers although the kids can still go out and have fun and jump in and make a mess and kind of push them all away again. as we look at double scan live radar around the region, again, despite that we have the cloud cover today, extremely warm with record-high temperatures being broken across pretty much the entire delaware valley, even the lehigh valley and now we're starting to see a few sprinkles off to the west and there will be some brief hits of rain as we go through the evening and overnight hours and even a rumble of thunder

as a cold front passes through. there's the record high of 70 breaking the old record of 69 set back in 1881. it's 134 years that it hasn't been this warm and now the sun setting a minute later than it did yesterday so that's going to start to push a little bit closer towards that 5 o'clock hour over the next month. as we look at the present numbers, it's cooler at the shore because of a southerly wind pushing off of that ocean at 53 degrees. but inland we are still in the mid and the upper 60's, even the poconos 58 degrees in fact the poconos the month so far 12 degrees above normal. as we look at satellite and radar, here comes the rain with the front in the ohio valley. behind that winds will start to howl. you'll see the wrapping nature of low pressure near chicago. that's going to bring somewhat cooler air in but still above average tuesday, wednesday and beyond. 7 o'clock tonight, that's when we start to see some of the rain come through but it's very broken in nature. by midnight tonight we could be still at 68. if we are, we're going to

break tuesday's high -- high temperature which was 66 degrees so we could have four straight days of records here in the city of philadelphia and then we clear it out in time for the morning rush hour tomorrow and then at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning sunshine galore with temperatures still in the mid-50's. but the winds you will notice them tomorrow in the afternoon out of that west-northwesterly direction kind of gusting at times over 30 miles an hour and then we are back to reality. this upcoming weekend on saturday, the jet stream will dip way to the south so you can see all of this cold air that there flood in to near normal temperatures but it doesn't last long. it pushes out and then we warm back up next week. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, sunny windy but still mild tomorrow at 63. mostly sunny wednesday, 57 and warm. 60 on thursday with a round of rain passing through and then temperatures drop behind that, brisk and colder friday at 51. overall a dry day and then wind chills in the 30's

saturday winter weather lovers that is your day because it's not as chilly sunday, back above normal at 48 and then 11 degrees above normal next monday at 54 going into christmas week and i can tell you that more than likely it will not be a white christmas this year. >> all right. >> very warm next week. >> unbelievable. >> all right. >> thanks adam. >> simple holiday hair makeovers it's next in what's the deal?

>> the holidays are here and we're talking fun festive hair styles. we head to the brand new house of clarity salmo salon. >> something a little extra special. >> you can add a little drama without spending a dime in less than 10 minutes with a curling iron and a can of hair spray. >> this big bounce see hair. >> stylist michael says separate the hair into sections spray then don't
