The three kings, thanks Alidee but I'm not sure understand it... hmmm.

'January group visiting'

- The Epiphany or Womens Christmas, which falls on January 6 celebrates the three wise men visiting Jesus!

From Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_%28holiday%29

'Get Drunk'
- "Today Irish women may spend the day shopping, take a meal at a restaurant or spend the evening at gathering in a pub"


Ever so slowly i'm getting there!
