It has become something of a tradition in our household that the Christmas Decorations are not put up until nearly Christmas.
Unlike all those hundreds of households who have had their decorations up, Christmas trees decorated, lights lit, and the fairy sitting jauntily on the top of the tree since early November, we make a point of decorationg usually on or around my birthday. Come Boxing Day, or the day after, when most of the November Decorators are taking their decorations down, ours are still up and brighty lit.
The whole point of celebrating Christmas is that the season itself lasts for twelve days - from the birth of the baby Jesus to the visit of the Wise Men (or Kings) hence the Christmas song "The Twelve Days of Christmas", and for those of you with a mathematical brain you will not be surprised to see that Christmas ends on "Twelfth Night" or January 6th or the Feast of the Epiphany!
