Last bit of christmas

One last picture of my christmas decorations before I have to put them away on the 6th of january.

In some European cultures, the greenery put up at Christmas is taken down at Epiphany. The Dutch and Flemish call this day Drie Koningen (Three Kings' Day). In the Netherlands and Belgium, children in groups of three (symbolising the three kings) proceed in costume from house to house while singing songs typical for the occasion, and receiving a coin or some sweets at each door.

As a child I never did that because it's a Roman Catholic custom, but we do take the christmas tree and decorations down on that day...
