Christmas decs.
When do you take down the christmas decorations?Are you susperstitious about the 12th night? My Mum used to always say it was unlucky if you didn't take them down before then.
I am doing mine today. I like them up for my birthday (13th Dec.) and down after my son's (31st), thaat's long enough for me.
I am a tiny bit sentimental though, and have left two tiny snowflakes on one kitchen window and two on my bedroom window for a wee bit longer. I don't suppose anyone will notice except me, so that's alright.

Yes, I knew a Scottish lady many years ago who always did that. I don't know if it a Scottish tradition (perhaps someone could enlighten me?) or whether it was her own personal preference, but she spring cleaned everywhere the day before N.Y. Eve.
