Lucky you. Here in An Tir 12th Night is our winter Coronation- the day is 
filled up with meetingsmeetingsmeetings and courtcourtcourtcourt (and An 
Tirian courts are know for going into the wee hours). I don't think we've 
had a feast at 12th Night for... 10, 12 years. Our 12th Nights are pretty 
much 12th Night Cons- in a hotel. Hard to do it anywhere else, since it's a 
coronation event there's usually somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500-2000 
attendees (which also is part of why we don't do a feast anymore. Can you 
imagine feeding even half that many?).
