last night [...] because it's pegged to the actual holiday of Twelfth Night

which is in early January. Is that just because arranging parties takes time, or did someone get Twelfth Night mixed up with Candlemas?

[EDITED to add: great idea, though.]

But if you missed Twelfth Night, Candlemas would be a Schelling point for rescheduling, because it's the other "Christmas now definitely over" holiday.
