Epiphany

“Epiphany/Twelfth Night is the time when it was traditional to take your Christmas decorations down - although some people leave them up until Candlemas.... After both Christmas and the season of Epiphany, the end of the Christmas celebrations come on February 2nd, 40 days after Christmas, with Candlemas...” https://www.whychristmas.com/customs/whenchristmasiscelebrated.shtml

The decorations are down, and, as temping as it is to leave the tree up until 2nd February, this evening the lights will be switched off for the last time this Christmas. Not to worry though, in less than 11 months the festive fun will start all over again!

It’s been a dark, wet day so a final blip of my tree which is looking as good as, if not better than, when I first put it up. A little bit of sparkle to end my Christmas...
