Millions Of Americans Plan To Travel For Xmas.

Despite the emergence of a new Covid variant called Omicron millions of Americans are keeping their Xmas plans.

At Thanksgiving, Americans showed they were willing to take a risk, though experts now worry about the contagiousness of the Omicron.

AAA is projecting 109 million Americans will travel between Dec. 23 and Jan. 2 — twice as many as over Thanksgiving.
