Traditions

So we hosted Xmas dinner for the inlaws this year (if you follow me on twitter you were spammed with all the details. I'm planning on putting up a big post with pics and recipes soonish here on lj). We don't usually decorate the house, but since we had guests we put up some lights and trees, etc. Jeff's been itching to get them down, since it's now January, but I haven't been able to do it yet since in my family we would always leave it up until Epiphany (Or 3 Wise Men Day as I used to call it when I was a kid). Which I just realized is today, so I suppose it's coming down by Saturday.

So, how long do you leave your trees and lights up until?

yays! someone else who leaves stuff up until epiphany! even my super religious neighbour had her tree packed up before the 31st. i want to go around shouting, you realisse it's only the [nineth/eleventh/whatever] day of christmas, people!

i don't have many decorations up (and no tree), but have found myself nearly physically unable to take them down before epiphany. but i shall do it today or tomorrow.
