Oh dear, I see we are going to have to have the Christmas emoticons available all year then.

Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas!!!

[FringeEvent]

I think Christmas decorations traditionally come down after the Epiphany on Jaunary 6 (ie. today), don't they? I think digital 'decorations' still count!

[LadyMaryChristmas]

Leave them up and stop being scrooge!

[Slubberdegullion]

History Today cor, well [the sad decorations face] if that link it to be believed the carrot on the snowman and possibly the biscuit with a jaunty Santa hat have brought tree spirits onto the site and we now all face an agricultural diasster.

Tyvm mn, just what I don't need this year.

It's Epiphany today, our kings finally reach the stable/house (if you want to be totally correct). When they have given their gifts to the baby Christmas ends.

DCs go to school tomorrow so lights going off tonight fits perfectly.

[RebeccaTheHallsMumsnet]

They are going tonight, the snowman was getting a bit too warm, we don't want to see him flood the place now do we.

[LadyMaryChristmas]

Poor snowman. Can't you put him in the freezer?

[LoopsInHoops]

Are we having Chinese new year ones?

[FruOla]

Oh crikey ... here we go again!

Twelfth Night was last night - the 5th January! So decorations should have been down before nightfall last night.

And you're right, Slubber, the poor old snowman should go too

[FruOla]

And thanks to Sauvignon Blanche, who linked to this on another thread - Twelfth Night = projectbritain.com/Xmas/twelfthnight/index.html

Fru aaaaarhh you just used the be-FC-hatted emoticons, I think that means you might have an agricultural disaster coming your way.

I burnt my once were alive decorations last night to properly sort those spirits, and we threw bread at my tree so I am safe.

[FruOla]

I had to, Slubber. Just to prove a point

[Tech]

We is offering 'omage to the eastern churches and the espanish by considering today the last day of the festivities and taking them down tonight. or summat.

[FruOla]
