    When does the christmas design go down?

    Just wondering, I saw another post on here that said the christmas design was going up (dated before christmas) and realized that meant that the christmas design was not the usual. Seeing as I first joined when the christmas design was already posted I am eager to see the normal design in all its glory!

    Well, January 6th is technically the 12th day of Christmas - the Epiphany - so it's still proper to keep the design up until then if the Boss decides she wants to do it. I still light all our window candles and the tree until the 6th.  Then it's all over for another year....

    And I said "dangerous" and here you are.

    You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

    As stated by KeepersPrice Mor; January 6th is the last 'day of Christmas' and so I'd except at some point then.

    The forum didn't look very much different prior to this redesign but perhaps the managers have designs for next year in mind.

    Keeping the snow would be nice, as it still is winter.

    Re: When does the christmas design go down?

    My mother's Christmas tree stays up until sometime in February, generally. Sometimes it makes it to March.

    I was raised Catholic. Before Christmas was Advent. Everything was decorated in purple, and fairly plainly. Then, for Christmas Eve, all the Christmas decorations would come out at the church (the decorations at home tended to make it up around a week before Christmas). The church would be beautiful. We'd have midnight mass, go home, and sleep. Christmas morning would be the celebration at home, and the decorations would stay both at church at at home until Epiphany. After Epiphany, the church would be redecorated for the next season, and most of the decorations at home would be gone by the end of January (obviously not the tree).

    But, yeah, I'm used to Christmas decorations being around a long time after Christmas!

    Midnight GMT on the 6th January I guess. after that it is bad luck! Not that I am superstitious or anything.

    Yeah, January 6th is the traditional date here in England...and Sherlock's birthday of course...so that's when they'll go down.

    I assumed Kazza means to be done in time for the Big Man's birthday?

    Yes, you need to bake Sherlock a cake. Of course.
