Glad to hear from Martha that there are some others that celebrate Advent
and Christmas .
We still wait until Xmas Eve to set up our tree. When we were small and
also when our children were small, Daddy set the tree up, but Santa
decorated it, so that the decorated tree was a surprise on Christmas
morning.
We leave the tree up for the full 12 days of Christmas, taking it down on
12th night - January 5. ( count the days - Christmas Day is the 1st day of
Xmas, Dec. 26 is the 2nd, etc.) The house is redecorated with arrangements
of ivy and white candles for the Feast of Epiphany on Jan. 6.
So Christmas is not all over for us, it is only the 10th day of Xmas. ;-),
although I will say I will be happy to get it cleared and put away on Friday
!
Happy New Year of lacing to all.
