We don't take ANYTHING down until January 6.

Then we'll take the tree down (that's all we put up this year, but it's a sign of ownership of the house!), store it, and with any luck and a crick that don't rise, MOVE INTO OUR HOUSE!!!

Of course, I must say that those who don't like February can hardly be living life to the fullest. February is, without any doubt at all, the greatest month in the year. Even this year it will be the shortest month, many great women and men were born then, February 1 is Imbolc and St. Bridgit's Day, it's the traditional start of Spring, and it's the month I was born (see comment about great women and men, above).
