One of the most important days in the Christian calendar, Twelfth Night also marked the Feast of the Epiphany, when the three wise men, or Magi, arrived in Bethlehem to behold the Christ child."<br /><br />Carolbuddythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09947015243406321163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33739204.post-53891443066010566562009-12-27T23:42:34.950-08:002009-12-27T23:42:34.950-08:00We never decorate for Christmas before Dec 23 and ...We never decorate for Christmas before Dec 23 and I don't take down the decorations before earliest the 13th day of Christmas.

Yeah...<br /><br />Mostly now we get it down a week after New Year's.
