I guess that its because theres tons of traffic in the month of December or something like that.

This is the explanation why its on Jan 7th, sound like a great time, they always do a great job.

"The next TAG party will be held on January 7, 2011 at the Gene Autry Museum, across from the Los Angeles Zoo.

On March 30, the membership voted to hold the party in January. At that time, we assumed the DWP Festival of Lights would be closing off the roads in Griffith Park south of the museum until New Year's, and we didn't want to deal with the traffic hassles. Subsequently we found out the Festival of Lights had been cancelled, but by then it was too late to change it to an earlier date. On September 28, the membership approved the budget.

So come on January 7, celebrate the winter solstice, Millard Fillmore's birthday, the wedding anniversary of George Burns and Gracie Allen, or a reason of your own to celebrate with your fellow members of the animation community."
