And couldn't wait.
Although, today when my son saw the tree going out with the trash he said "Daddy bring my Christmas tree back in the house"...and I almost wanted to do it. Lol

12953294, Twelfth Night! Posted by Creole, Thu Jan-07-16 03:08 PM
That's when it was done when I was young and growing up in Louisiana. The tree was removed on that night. It was a tradition that ushers in Carnival/Mardi Gras season.

12953314, Duuuuh! It's when you start ordering them KANG CAKES! Posted by Creole, Thu Jan-07-16 03:29 PM
Just kidding...
It is the 12th night after Christmas. The night when, as mentioned above, the Feast of the Epiphany pops off.
