Good idea. I will call my sisters either tomorrow or on Christmas
when I get home from work. They are both older than I am, and you
reminded me how much I cherish them.

Peter, what is a "knees up"?

I will raise a glass of something tonight, as I am cooking, for both
Christy and Allan. Maybe a glass of good wine, for Kili, as she loves
good wine. No beer here, but I know she loves good beer as well.
