Thanks for the Wiki. I heard of it but never really thought about it. I always assumed it meant a day to box up all the Christmas decorations!

OOOO no! Traditionally in UK, it is bad luck to take down Christmas decorations until after Twelfth Night.

Although, nowadays with all the illuminated stuff, and the price of electricity, the Twelfth Night idea does get ignored a lot. Almost guarantee most Trade displays are changed overnight to 'BOXING DAY SALE', and a few days later to 'NEW YEAR SALE'. I'm surprised that they've got anything left, but I guess maybe us Brits ain't quite as gullible as they think. P'raps we're all just skint after the GRAND XMAS SALES.

Personally, our tree lights were only turned on just before the Rugrats arrived on Xmas Day, and turned off again when they went home this morning.
