Hey Robert, I haven't decided what I'm doing Christmas but I am busy. I'm either going to my step-sister's house or I'm going to the redwoods with my housemates. Christmas Eve I think we are opening gifts here at the house. I don't know the time frame on that. I'll have to get back to you. We have a house meeting today so all the particulars will be worked out by then. Also New Year's Eve! We are having our usual Ethiopian pre-drunkenness party. 7-10pm. I am definitely going to be here for that. ;-) Thank for thinking of me. I'll let you know about Chris. eve. --Kathryn
