Today Is...Twelfth Night

That's it, today is Twelfth Night so Christmas is officially over so the tinsel, fairy lights and other assorted decorations have now come down and the tree put back in the box and shoved into the back of the cupboard and any jumpers with a Christmas theme will have to be folded and bundled into a bag where they will stay until December 2024.
Any songs which mention Santa, mistletoe, reindeer with shiny noses or presents under a tree have been relegated to the car glove box to be replaced by something less Festive as you drive to work and any of the snowmen made this year, if any of you are planning to come to life and dance around or fly with children over the countryside then please stand down and assume the condition of a puddle until further notice.
Jaunty Christmas ringtones will need to be replaced with the usual boring ones and any songs about Jesus which were grudgingly tolerated towards the end of December will be roundly mocked again as will anything by Cliff Richards, Mariah Carey and Shakin' Stevens.
Chocolates can continue to be eaten until either the tin is empty or all the nice ones have been taken and only the toffee's are left at which point they will be disposed of along with any mince pies which are found in the backs of cupboards and that nasty tasting 40% foreign stuff which tastes like something you would clear a sink blockage with.
Christmas Movies on the TIVO recorded in December can continued to be watched until space is needed to record more Warehouse 13's or the final series of Grimm and although Turkey will still be available in shops your obligation to buy it ended when the new Calendar went up.
The Christmas Gonks currently sat on the window ledge will be transferred back to the bedroom because they are super cute and so it is onwards and downwards to Valentines Day, Family Birthday's and Easter.
