The Mornings on 2 team kicks things off on "the show after the show" with Francisco is making a grand return to the Rose Parade after a nearly 50-year hiatus. We take you behind the scenes of the "Believe in San Francisco" float. James Torres joins us from Union Square, where residents are getting hands-on experience helping to decorate the massive, 55-foot animated structure before it heads south to Pasadena. Then we turn to the holiday weekend forecast, with meteorologist Devin Truby who warns of a series of storm systems bringing heavy rain and potential localized flooding through Christmas Eve. We explore how these "last dry moments" will impact holiday travel and the prospects for a white Christmas in the Sierra. Finally, we dive into a lively debate on holiday traditions, discussing everything from the "Griswold" style of decorating to why gift cards might actually be the most thoughtful present you can give.
