It's the twelfth day after Christmas. The end of the period known as Christmastide. The day that I take the Christmas decorations down.
I had this whole Gingerbread/Sweet thing going on. A combination Childhood Dreams/Sweet Fantasy/Diet Denial....
One of my favourite decorations. Who can resist a chocolate covered sundae, oozing with cream and topped with a cherry ?
My little Gingerbread cooks, complete with rolling pin and Gingerbread heart.
A wreath of sweets with a little Gingerbread Man. I couldn't resist this when I saw it in the store. It had take me home, written all over it...
I love this Gingerbread Man and his Chocolate decorated Candy Cane...
There were plenty of sweet Santa's hanging around..
Santa has gone back to the North Pole, or more correctly, a box in my spare bedroom..
Rudolph has quit singing 'Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer' ...though, now that I've written that, I'm not sure how long it will take for the song to leave my head !!
So what was your theme this Christmas??
Do you have a theme?
Do you take your decorations down on Twelfth Night?
Do you have any traditions involved with taking your decorations down?
I've decided, that when I'm back home in New Zealand, I'm going to hold 'Putting The Decorations Up' and 'Taking The Decorations Down, parties ... or BBQ's ...because Christmas is in Summer in that part of the world....
