A sold-out crowd watched as the Yuletide family, including our own PAIGE as Mom and BREKEN as the son, made every attempt to reach Grandma's house for the holiday. After finding out the airline overbooked and the trains were not running, the family located a conveniently located horse-drawn sleigh. After seeing Grandma, some of us wondered if they might just turn around and high-tail it back home!

My wife caught Grandma's appearance on video:

Just to think, this is what my wife's husband was doing on their 21st anniversary!
