This is officially the latest I’ve ever taken down a Christmas tree in my life.

@chrisaldrich Where I grew up the local wisdom said if it’s not down by January 6 your crops will fail.

Generally I wait until right after the 12th day of Christmas (aka Epiphany, aka 3 Kings Day, aka Armenian Christmas) which would have been the 6th or Eastern Orthodox Christmas, the 7th. Thus I would have been boxing it all up on January 8th, we just didn’t make it that far because of the Eaton Fire catastrophe. The sad part is that there’s not much of the town that isn’t burnt to the ground, so I’m not expecting anything in the way of crops this year… sigh My blessing was that there was a Christmas tree to be taken down at all.
@chrisaldrich well it isn’t Lent, yet.
@chrisaldrich It’s not anywhere near March, so that’s not too bad!
