I'll gladly support RQ's suggestion that we not have our contest on Dec 26 despite it's being opening day at Santa Anita. Even though our Christmas will be much quieter than usual, I really don't want to spend part of Christmas day preparing for a Saturday contest.
As to his suggestion about the day after New Year's Day, I don't have strong feelings one way or the other and would happily go along with whatever the rest of the group wants. I learned years ago that the New Year would arrive whether I stayed up to greet it or not; I still make sure time is reserved on New Year's Day to watch the Vienna Philharmonic's concert on PBS - always a very enjoyable performance.
