Fascinating Facts and Trivia

There is an argument as to when the end of Christmas truly is. The Magi arrived at the stables(probably held up by some camel traffic) on Epiphany which is 6th January, but some people believe that you should take your decorations down and ditch the tree etc on 5th January which for them is the Twelfth Day of Christmas. However, other people believe it should be after Epiphany which is the 7th, but that is also the day when you have Christmas for the Greek Orthodox church. Confused? Yup me too. TBH I'd say take em down at the weekend because surely all the Christmas feeling has drained out of you by New Year's Day

Here's an interesting FACT for you.... Mine are down already... Back in the box room until next December; thank god.

I do hope you're talking about decorations and not something else
