Christmas Revised - Does anyone remember?

I'm having a discussion about Maharaji with a premie friend of mine and it appears that our combined recollections are not in synch in regards to the issue of whether or not ashram premies or pre-ashram premies were told that they could not go home to their families on Christmas because Maharaji was now our family.  This was in the early 70's. Here's what my friend says: Re the early days, and M telling ashram residents 'they couldn't go home for Xmas': there were 1 or 2 overzealous people running ashrams at the time, but I don't remember M ever saying that. Depending on circumstances, lot of people went home to see their families, or at least called them. Granted Maharaji himself did not do the call-down to each ashram and some honchos made the calls.  But, I recall the evening at the ashram when we were told that the agya came from Maharaji.  I also recall that the General Secretary verified the instructions with HQ because a lot of premies were begging for a clearer ruling.  And it took a few days to come down, but the final ruling was said to have come directly from Maharaji.
