samanthashows 0 #28 December 30, 2003 Mine come down on Christmas day. I usually can't wait to get them up and then I can't wait to get them down... My tree and decorations are already back up in the attic and there is no sign of Christmas at my house...Samantha Weaver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snowwhite 0 #29 December 30, 2003 QuoteI thought it was bad luck to have them up for more than 8 days after christmas? But, read above, the LAST day of Christmas is Epiphany. So anytime after THAT is when they should be taken down. Our problem is, the retailers have us believing that Christmas starts around Thanksgiving, instead of when it REALLY starts, which is Dec. 24th (the first of the 12 days of Christmas) Who am I fooling, I didn't put up a single light, nor tree this year.skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TitaniumLegs 8 #31 December 31, 2003 QuoteThis is the correct answer. Jan 6 is Twelfth Night (as in Shakespeare), the last day of Christmas. That's a lot of crap. Everyone knows the twelve days of Christmas are: Christmas Christmas Eve Boxing Day New Year's Eve New Year's Day 4 Saturdays and Sundays in between .. uhhh that's .... 9 so far and 3 mystery days.

caress 0 #34 December 31, 2003 It is a good idea to take them down before Valentines day here in Heber only because if you don't a very strong wind in March will beat them up. If you get really cold weather after December like us, that will wreck them too.-Caress I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right.

skybrat68 0 #35 December 31, 2003 I've always heard that if you take it down before New Year's Day, it's bad luck, so mine will come down this coming Saturday. (I also have to eat blackeyed peas on New Year's Day for good luck) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
