Twelfth Night

Today, January 6th, is Twelfth Night.  It might also have been celebrated last night as it rather depends on whether you start Christmas on Christmas Eve or not.  In Medieval times Twelfth Night was a final feast complete with a lot of wassailing - we don't do much of that in our house these days.  But this is also the last day to enjoy Christmas decorations. 

Now I know that in some places it's fashionable to see if they'll hang around until July 4th, but the general rule is that on Twelfh Night they all come down.  And that includes the lady who has had hers up on a tree locally for FOUR YEARS!!!!!!!
