Stephen Colbert was preempted by local programming here. And it takes me back. When I was 11 or 12 my family drove a few hours away to pick up my maternal grandmother on Christmas Eve. I was give the choice whether to go since I was old enough and we had a new puppy who I loved. But I went and the fog was so bad that my Dad drove up on the lawn of a motel and we ended up staying there on Christmas Eve - with no change of clothes and a puppy left alone at home in the kitchen. And Midnight Mass from the Vatican was what we ended up watching that night on the motel TV. BTW, the puppy was fine despite my mother's worries about the turkey that she'd left out on the kitchen counter to thaw.
