I know we're past twelfth night but they look so pretty (birthday; Xmas and New Year along with Congrats on end of parole!).

I find them such a clutter half of them didn`t even go up! But I have replanted the tree.

I actually scoured the web for advice on when to take the Christmas cards down - I had always believed that they should come down before 12th night (but not before).

Apparently it's considered unlucky to take them down before then - but not sure about leaving them up this long !

Mine are still up for the moment. One just arrived on Friday from the other side of the world. Yesterday was the old Orthodox New Year, and the Orthodox Christmas was on 7th (Julian calendar). I'm not Orthodox, but I saw some nice sparkly festive stuff on the Russia Today channel (freesat and internet) and I thought I'd keep in with the spirit of things.

So you're not alone JK. Take them down when you feel you want to.
