You definitely read it correctly, and thank you!!!
I have to be in LA on the 27th for an early am meeting, but when I was booking only the 6am flight (on the 26th) had a decent fare (very decent, $149) vs. the one I really wanted, which was $599 for an afternoon departure.
I had an alarm set for 6am on Xmas morning to do a SDC, but just looked online, and the $599 with change flight is now $0. Done.
Merry Christmas! (especially without an alarm)
