How long is it acceptable to keep Christmas decorations up?

	Traditionally the 6th, because of Epiphany. ... I have no idea why I even know that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Congratulations. You know more about Christianity than an angel. That's what I get for not paying attention in angel school, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm just going to blame Nik and his encyclopediac knowledge of boring historical stuff that he always tried to foist off on me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We could test it out by going for a chase? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	After Epiphany (January 6th) is traditional in the Julian Calendar. But Christmas doesn't even come until January 7th in the Gregorian calendar. Personally, I figure once the pig's blood on the tree dries up and flakes off, it's time to burn it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Last year I waited until my boyfriend threatened to stop making me coffee if I didn't turn off the Christmas carols. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd say that's a nearly perfect measure of time to take the decorations down. On the other hand, the staff know I'm quite unpleasant when I have too much blood in my caffeine system, so I may have to find something more personal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That whole blood thing sounds pretty personal! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The pig's blood? Oh no! That's just an old family tradition. My Uncle Nathan came up with it the year that Uncle Toki insisted on having a Dethmas tree. I thought that's how everyone decorated their trees until I went to boarding school. We have some great metal and crystal skulls and demon parts on our tree. And dragons of course. What do you have on yours? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Angels and stars, that kind of thing. Some snowflakes, too, and this little dude. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bubbly! A traditional tree can be very beautiful. Oh! He's adorable! Did you make him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
