    Is it good time...

    ... to remove Xmas avatars?

    Overdue! Christmas decorations should come down on Twelfth Night, being the night of the Twelfth Day of Christmas, which is January 5th

    Supposedly it's bad luck to leave them up past then, or take them down before. I blame the modern tendency to take them down on Boxing Day or the day after for *gestures broadly at everything*

      That's what I believe but what's the rules on putting them up?. I've a number of social media friends that put them up 1st Nov and one earlier than that.

          Depends what denomination/sect of Christianity you were indoctrinated/brought up in.

          Also when you take them down also varies....
