I haven't taken our Christmas stockings or my little collections of angels and snowmen down yet...What's the rush? :)
Hi Deb, I believe it was originally for religious reasons that people take them down on 6th Jan which is the Twelfth Night, also known as Epiphany Eve. In the UK it's considered bad luck to leave them up after 6th Jan, but there are also a few people who leave them up 365 days of the year! Joy
