So on Friday I packed up the stuff in the bathroom and kitchen, as well as the stuff that was on the coffee table in the living room.

Today was the remaining table top stuff, the Rudolph plushies, ornaments, and tree.

I decided to keep the lights up in the windows, until Tuesday, which is Epiphany.

Uh ... Epiphany is January 6 ... which is Monday.

Yes, I explained it wrong when I posted!   :laugh:

I meant I would keep the lights up through Epiphany, and take them down Tuesday.

It's funny that I made that mistake, because on a comic book Discord that I'm a member of, I explained to someone that the 12 days of Christmas start on Christmas, and end on the 5th.

He said he thought Christmas was the 12th day of Christmas.

I told him I knew a few other people who thought that, I make the assumption that there are so many Advent and countdown Christmas calendars, that a lot of people have that misconception.

I'm planning on taking down things here at the house on Monday--but by the time Monday gets here I may make it Tuesday instead.  ::)

Jeff Wrangler:
Today is Twelfth Night.

I had my outdoor Christmas lights on this evening, as did some of my neighbors. I may turn them on tomorrow night, too--for Epiphany.

Tonight was the last night for my Christmas tree.
