Who's Ready for 12th Night?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Just a bag of Twiglets, the boring savoury biscuits(but no cheese) and a bumper box of Crawford's biscuits we were given left to eat, then Christmas will officially be over.
Who else hasn't quite finished yet?

"putting all the decs away today but still have quite a lot of party food left along with a Xmas Pudding & a Yule Log!"
My Yule Log seldom lasts past Boxing Day.
(The cake that is, wouldn't want anyone casting aspersions....)

SHAKESPEARE and TWIGLETS??
"In nature there's no blemish but the mind.
None can be called deformed but the unkind".
Said Antonio.
Bill Shakes could certainly make some quotable quotes. |

Three different people bought me one of those huge boxes of chocolates from Hotel Chocolat each. I'm so sick of chocolate, and so is everyone in my family. |

Forsooth, man. There are more things in heaven and on earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy, than be more strange than a humble Twiglet
 "

The tree! OMG, the TREE!!!
I've just spotted the Christmas tree chocolates!
(Runs off to hide them, while practising his best innocent face - "No dear, I thought we decided not to buy chocolates for the tree this year".....)

"Right when do you count twelfth night?? I was always told I was born in twelfth day of Christmas 6th jan but someone said it's today??"
Dec 24th, Advent
Dec 25th, 1st day of Xmas
Jan 5th, 12th day of Xmas
Jan 6th, 1st day of Epiphany.
Imho, The confusion around 12th night arises for two reasons: from the fact that in biblical times the day started at sunrise, not midnight, so 12th night is 5th/6th jan; but also the modern superstition that all decorations must be down on 12th night. This is likely linked to Matthew's account, where the family destroy all evidence of their home in Bethlehem and flee to Egypt in order to avoid Herod's murder of the innocents. Naturally this would have occurred on evening 6th/7th Jan.
So, in summary,
a) if you were born before sunrise, you were indeed born on 12th night
b) you can choose which day to take down your decs (we like to vary it, just to mess with my ocd)
c) I always feel xmas is over on first day I have to return to work proper.
That's my serious post for the day!

My tree came down the day after Boxing Day and the leftover Xmas stuff got chucked at the same time, alcohol away in the cupboard, told all my family that if they bought me choc/biscuits for Xmas that I would give them away. lol. Normally they do it anyway but this year they didn't! |
