    Well, yesterday we finally took down our Christmas Tree. It is normal for us to keep it going until late January but this year was an exception. However, to ensure there is no change of mind I have just incinerated the b'tard and all her pesky needles. :-D

    You must take it down earlier or "bad luck will befall your house"... maybe.

        Curiously, Nagy isn't as late as you might think. Christmastide is actually over at Candlemass (Feb 2nd), though the period between twelfth night (Epiphany day) and Candlemass is called Epiphany Season. Or at least this is partly true - I found this[^] which seems it is confused, at least to the left-footers.

          Being that old I'd say it probably went up pretty easy.

          New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 My goal in life is to have a psychiatric disorder named after me. I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

            Na, we just leave the bugger up because there's naff all else to cheer up January. Even the fatties have stopped going to the gym and that's the only good part of early January. :laugh:

                    As was Metaldays two years ago. Last concert - Candlemass, a perfect ending to a very interesting week.

                      So it depends on what species Christmas Tree you've chosen. With a Norway spruce[^] it's basically over at New years. But if you choose a Nordmann fir[^] you'd better give it a good shake around midsummer.

                          A 3 METER HIGH TREE? I beg your pardon Sir, but are you living in Buckingham palace?

                              I still found it a very enjoyable. Must have been the combination of the atmosphere and just the right amount of beer. :-D

                                Well, yesterday we finally took down our Christmas Tree. It is normal for us to keep it going until late January but this year was an exception. However, to ensure there is no change of mind I have just incinerated the b'tard and all her pesky needles. :-D

                                Naw... last year, our tree was in a separate room that we normally don't spend a lot of time in.... we finally took it down in July. We were quite impressed how resilient the plastic needles were :-). Mike

                                  Laden Norway Spruces are non-migratory, so I don't see how that is relevant.
