Twelfth Night- is it really bad luck?

Just to add, another name for snowdrops is Candlemas Bells - isn’t that lovely?

I hope you get better soon. Many folk keep trimmings up until Candlemas on Febuary 2nd so you've plenty of time left.

Hope you feel better soon. Take them down when your ready.

I kept mine up till July one year because it was a comfort to me,
nothing bad happened , just enjoy them!
Hope you feel better soon! sending love X

When I was a child we never brought the Christmas tree into the house until Christmas Eve because it was supposed to be unlucky to bring it in earlier. I gave up on that decades ago - and I'm still here.

My decorations are always down by 6 January (which is my interpretation of 12th Night!). I have to set myself a deadline, or they would still be up at Easter! This year I was rather sad to see them go.

But must admit only half of them got up this year. I hate having to start Christmas planning too early, but I’ve realised that now I’m older everything takes a little bit longer - and I can’t work half the night to catch up with baking or wrapping like I used to. So next year Christmas prep will start a bit earlier, and I’ll spread the work out a bit more.

My mother was ridiculously superstitious, it seemed that everything was bad luck if you didn’t do x, y or z from throwing spilt salt over your left shoulder with your right hand to decorations coming down on 6Jan to saluting magpies.
It’s all balderdash and bullshit as far as I’m concerned and I don’t seem to have any more misfortunes than anyone else!

Well it is Twelfth Night

I made a start on dismantling mine this afternoon. I’ll lower the tone by showing you one of my Christmas cards in the hope of giving someone a laugh .

Love that card! 😂
