Does anyone else....

celebrate throughout the 12 days of Christmas.
In my family, the season isn't officially over until January 6th, the day of the Epiphany/Twelfth Night.

I know everyone else has already marketed the season as over and has moved on to Superbowl Sunday & Valentines Day but please tell me i'm not the only one who still celebrates!
it would be so sad if we all lost these long standing traditions

we don't actually celebrate them, but we do leave our xmas lights and tree up until the 6th every year.

i probably phrased that wrong, but that's what I meant, leaving our tree and lights up until then, not that we have other parties and dinners and stuff...

Don't really celebrate, especially this year, I've had enough! But we do leave the decorations up until then. I think I will start taking them down the 6th because I have that day off, probably finish up on the 9th. My schedule coming up is kinda crappy, so I'll have to fit it it when I can! Lots to take down! I'm kinda dreading it. LOL.

Yes, we also have decorations up through the 6th... We probably won't take them down until next week though since we'll be prepping for Boston this weekend!
