What ever happened to the twelve days of Christmas?
Wen I was a young 'un we didn't even put up our tree until the day before, then family & friends would all gather 'round and pitch in to decorate the tree on Christmas eve, then all the brightly wrapped gifts would materialize under the tree for opening later that evening. I was even allowed to open one item that night(!), then off to sleep - to awake early the next morning and see what other goodies "Santa" delivered during the wee hours.
We wouldn't even think of taking the tree down 'til January 6th - you know, Twelfth Night, Epiphany.
