Grace and Alvina look back on the year and share their highlights and lowlights, look back at their words of the year, and evaluate how they did on their new year's resolutions.

For the Fortune Cookie segment they share their favorite things they consumed all year. And, they end as always with what they're grateful for.

FYI, they're taking the next two weeks off for the holidays! See you in 2026!
