I have spent one xmas eve stuck in a long line up of vehicles on the Rogers Pass here in BC Canada, with my sister, because a snow slide closed the highway. We were between two semis so we loaded up the truck drivers and drove back to the nearest town to get something to eat and get some coffee. Dont remember their names or what they looked like. One was from the US and one was from Ontario.
Spent another xmas on a greyhound bus, all the hwys were closed, just me and the driver. He was determined he was getting home for xmas morning, so he crossed the border, drove across idaho and back into canada. He drove me right to my parents door ! It was 5 AM when mom woke up to see a greyhound bus pulling into their yard, What a lovely man he was , we spent about 12 hours together. Even crossed on a little ferry that didnt usually take greyhound buses - winding through back roads in the middle of nowhere so he could be home for xmas with his family.
