Default For how long do you keep Christmas?



Bearing in mind that some folks are compelled to return to work sooner than they'd like, for those of you who are able to stay indoors and decide when your Christmas ends, when does it end for you?

In Bollock-Acher Wood We keep the full 12 days (counting from the 25th) and we have another big nut roast on Twelfth Night

Icon12 Aktung's epiphany: go Gregorian, not Julian, calendarwise!

Well the lights and decor generally stay up till Epiphany which is traditionally Jan. 6... but may also be the first Sunday following Jan 1; unless of course there's a great amount of holiday cheer left over; in which case, the old Eastern Orthodox Gregorian calendar kicks in...and we go till the 19th!

Well I am the man of the house and in charge. I decide when the Christmas decorations comes down. It is just a coincidence that my decision is made shortly after SWMBO makes her decision.

Feeling the post-Christmas blues a bit now. Maybe I should see how long I can keep blackswan40's Christmas Cracker Joke thread going before somebody locks it?

I'm not a Christmas person

The only Christmas related thing I had last year was a Christmas candle with days on(1 to 24)
i had a little Christmas tree in plastic, with lights and decoration..which I had forgot all about..It was first some days after my mom asked if I had put it up, I remembered I had such a tree.

Some years back I got a brain hemorrhage and bought lots and lots of Christmas decoration and my apartment was filled with this decoration.
In February/March the year after my sister asked me if it wasn't time to take it down.

-No I said it's not so long to Christmas again.
