Twelfth Night

And so that was Christmas.
I hope you had fun.
Another year over.
And a new one just begun.

A quick bit of research last night revealed that tonight is twelfth night. We can never remember whether it's the 5th or 6th, but apparently the key thing is that, way back when such things were determined, day followed night rather than night following day. So, whilst tomorrow is twelfth day, tonight is twelfth night. There, clear as mud.

Anyway, all this means that when I went to work today we had a lovely, decorated, twinkly-lit Christmas tree in the lounge, and when I got home it had disappeared, and whilst the lounge seems bigger again, it also seems a little bare. Still, only another 11 months until we get to do it all again.
