After thousands of flights were canceled over the holiday weekend, today the chaos continues. More than 800 hundred flights were grounded due to weather and staffing troubles caused by COVID. And that's leaving many Americans trapped and unable to make their way home. And if cruise lines thought their pandemic troubles had sailed — forget about it. With the Omicron variant spreading and numbers on the rise, several cruise ships have been turned away from docks just like the early days of the pandemic. One passenger we spoke with told us she felt like she was trapped inside a petri dish. Plus, the phrase "Let's go, Brandon" has become a way to insult the president - but when does it cross the line? A dad is under fire for saying it directly to President Biden on Christmas Eve and now he has some explaining to do. And, you may have heard about the horrible Christmas tree fire that left a dad and two of his sons dead. With millions of Americans leaving their trees up till at least after New Year’s, it’s a reminder to always be aware of the danger.
