Hi Pinot, As always you're doing a dynamite job pulling this trip together with so many fun things to see and do. I've been thinking about this and like you, I want to be with Meowmie and Soncat for Christmas. It's always a fun family day around here plus Meowmie gives me turkey for dinner. Yummy!

My vote is to leave maybe December 28 or 29. That way we can get the best of both holidays.

Your friend,
Groucho
