"I’ll be home for Christmas, you can plan on me. Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree...."

And if Bing Crosby had still been alive to weather this holiday travel season, he might come up with an alternate: 

And if I’m not home for Christmas
You know where I’ll be
Stuck inside an airport
Using Skype’s WiFi to talk to you for free.

Enough with those outrageous day fees from Boingo or airport terminals that haven't got with the free-Wifi program! (Why can't every place be FLL or PHL?).
