Twelfth Night
Posted: Thu Jan 12, 2012 3:37 pm
Like many others on this forum, I find myself bound by superstition and family tradition. On Twefth Night all vestiges of Yule are carefully packed away, the cards stowed in 2 boxes - one for the ones that we forgot to send and one for next years list.
The tree carefully stripped of its Christmas finery is ceremoniously taken out to its spot in the Garden, the baubles and tinsel delicately wrapped and stowed. The lights stuffed in the box because it really doesn't matter if you are careful with the blasted things or not - they never work first time.
All this done as stated through tradition and the sure knowledge that bad luck will befall if it is all still in situ an hour over its allotted timespan.
I wonder if any such bad luck might befall a webmaster who, with little regard for superstition leaves these fekking snowflakes dribbling down my screen for another day.....
