At least the two day one might actually be helpful although I found it's better suited to those people who aren't terribly savvy about job hunting.

I'd love a white Christmas ordinarily but I have to drive to #1 son's house and back again and I hate driving in snow or ice.

I hope that doesn't happen again and a white Christmas sounds nice in the song but the reality is often very different.
