We took ours down yesterday and they are all packed away now. It does indeed look very bare!

We've always taken them down on 6th Jane - and always had to be done before midnight. That was what my mom always believed and what we always followed...which is why I was a bit confused this year when suddenly people were calling the 5th January '12th Night'. I can honestly say its the first time in my life that I've ever heard that Jan 5th is 12th Night! Its always been the 6th to me! :-)
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)
