Did you know 12th night...

Did you know that contrary to much popular belief, the twelve days of Christmas run from Christmas day itself until the beginning of Epiphany (January 6th). So the 12 days count from December 25th until January 5th; a period also known as Christmastide or Twelvetide. The Twelfth Night of Christmas is always on the evening of 5 January, but the Twelfth Day can either precede or follow the Twelfth Night according to which Christian tradition is followed. Which ever is right rumour has it that you need to clear your house of decorations on the evening of 5th to avoid a disaster for the coming year....
