When is it too late to still have Holiday decorations up?
brokebackjack:
seriously, next year, if we have a next year, the outside lights will go off when they're supposed to go off, on the Epiphany. The tree will stay longer
Brokeback_Dev:
Ours are still up here and it is January 5th.. Maybe tomorrow they will come down.. I dont want to wait too much longer. But I must admit Im not sick of the tree and decorations yet. Its pretty. ;)
Sandy:
I would leave them up all year, but there is a superstition that if they are up after the 5th. I always thought that this was the twelfth day of Christmas?
I think that any strong superstition will quickly become tradition, and therefore my decorations came down yesterday :'(
Sandy:
sorry, that made no sense. What I meant to say was, if decs are up after the fifth, it's bad luck.
Sorry, my fingers ran away from me! :laugh:
Meryl:
Hey, Sandy, I'm glad you avoided the bad luck! But I see that 6 folks in the poll above voted for Martin Luther King Day as the latest that it was okay to take them down, so I'm just going to trust that they'll be fine in spite of all! ;D
