.... can we have a January logo, please? (Burns Night is 25 Jan....)

[Mamyalynne]

Maybe he's honouring the 12th night rule.

[Zacs-Master]

Then surely it should be shakespear?

Christmas finishes on two dates, boxie....the 6th on Epiphany or with Candlemas, which falls on Monday Feb 2. For example major cathedrals keep their trees up until the 2nd - and, supposedly the tradition, the singing of carols is from the 25th to then and not before Christmas Day - source: the Dean of Truro Cathedral.

Or playing the bagpipes?

[Mamyalynne]

I am too, tree still up.

[choux]

Thought that was on 11th November :/

Tempus fugit - it needs no accelerant. Cool your jets, boxtops :D

I don't think it matters when Christmas is over! It will be back with us in another 9 months;-)

Shurrup Dusty...can't be dealing with build up again...too stressful!

[boxtops]

Yes, I know that, DTC - but Santa flying over the rooftops is only for Dec 24/25.....

[ducksie]

Not over until Jan 6th

[Arksided]

It's celebration time of the duration of Christmas... 'let it go'... besides did you mention it was too soon before the 24th. ;-)

Burns' Night falls on a Sunday so he may have problems (that's the reason given in the past for not marking St Andrew's Day)

[AB Editor]

Sorry, a bit slow off the mark this year :)

[Hopkirk]

What's the new one?

Looks like a couple having a kiss and someone running away.

Is this a reference to Prince Andrew?
