UK Chorus Tries to Lift Spirits While Stranded at Airport

The World

Thousands of travelers have been stranded at airports in the U.S. and Europe after heavy snowfall led to widespread cancellations. But while many are unsure they’ll be home for Christmas, some have been able to make the best of it. We talk to the Jesus College Choir of the University of Cambridge, England, which has been stuck in Arlington, Va., but are staying jolly with the help of music.

Arlington locals have been cooking them meals and trying to keep their spirits high, while the choir counts down the days and hours till they return home.
