How are we doing Christmas? Normal length or prolonged Days/Nights? If we do normal length, I'm going to miss Day2 for sure (but I can live with that if I'm still alive har har bad pun).

Yep, I second that question. Because I was sort of surprised to see this game started right before Christmas, but I was sort of working under the assumption that it'd be the way it used to be some other times, that there will be break around 24th-26th or somesuch, and continuing after that. Because I honestly do not plan to be on the 'Downs during these days... (actually, I might have problems even during the 27th, but that's a different thing, I'll at least try to be around)

Some year we did prolonged Days and Nights. I think it would be feasible if Day 2 would be 48h long and maybe Night 3 too (but that's not so important).

Yes, that was my assumption as well. I probably should have mentioned that earlier - I was planning to end with the lynch on the evening of the 24th and have a very long Night until the evening of the 26th, when Day 3 will start. Does that work for everyone? (Otherwise, we can have a very long Day 2 from the evening of the 23rd until the evening of the 26th.)

I think the Long Night is better because if it's a long Day there's just more to read once you come back to the computer.

There is no way for me I am even turning the computer on on the 24th. It's simply a sort of house-rule I have made for myself, at least one day per year fully and absolutely no-no to the computer, however nice it is. By my timezone, the DL is sometime around 4 AM anyway, so even if I, say, switched the computer on in the morning (which I still would have considered acceptable), I'd have to vote barely halfday through, and that's not even worth it. So I would actually vote for long Day. And even then I am not really promising any high activity. (So in fact, maybe it does not make so much of a difference whether it's a long Day or whether the Day is on the 24th already. You can just do it whichever way suits the majority of people and in the really worst case, I'd have a no-show and hope Day 2 won't have too many dramatic events which will require everyone's full participation.)
