Almost over

I managed another walk this morning. I'm quite pleased that I got out before the rain. I noticed that more-and-more Christmas trees are appearing on the streets, discarded by their owners and banishing Christmas for another year. My family always kept decorations up until twelfth night - which I have always taken to be 6 January - so my decorations aren't coming down until tomorrow (after which my superstition says it's unlucky and, after 2020, whose tempting fate?). Even though there is no obvious frost on the ground these trees appear to have a slight frosting on them. I'm going to enjoy looking at my tree one last time tonight.
